    The way a people’s government is shaped and interpreted is a direct result of the collective experience of that culture

    I mean 70 years ago the entire Korean peninsula was directly shaped by like 6 foreign powers into what it is today.

    Still don’t see how that green lights slavery or how any of this is relevant to the issue I’m discussing.

    I fully understand how different cultures form and operate. I even have a degree to back it up, but I’m not going to have an anthropological or sociological debate on slavery. Slavery is never fit to be a punishment for a crime. That is what I am talking about. Why do you keep trying to drag it from that topic?

        Which is why I am against that too.

        I would be okay if it is offered as a choice. Either you go sit in jail for the same number of hours or you go do community service. Equitable and not forced labor.

          So, somewhat like how Portugal gives people who have a substance dependency the choice of jail or participation in a treatment program.

      Incidentally, what are you currently doing to stop Donald Trump? I’m Canadian, so I’m divesting from anything US.
