> I find all these slavery comparisons in poor taste. Across history you will find slaves that were treated well, accumulated wealth, were educated and held in high regard - yet they still legally were the property of another person. The fundamental distinction with slavery is not a bad paycheck.

How do you hold someone in high regard when they are your property? You cannot see me as less than yet hold me in high regard!

Right! A slave or two that were "treated well" speaks for generations that were maimed, raped, erased from existence.

The only thing I could discern from this is that you would have owned slaves were you born in that era.

Hot garbage!

> bad/corrupt the legal system must be.

Ah! So, slavery?
