I have to disagree. Making people work for money wouldn’t be exploitation in my book.

But YMMV.:)!

I agree its a point of view thing...

making people toil the fields and having right of the first night with their wives is not an exploitation, its right up there with distributing fun coupons big companies have endless supply of even if going bankrupt.

It is different, what you describe. I can’t say I understand the point of being with their wives: perhaps a different culture, that you and I come from.

But please don’t misunderstand my point of not exploiting people. Some of these, what you call ‘exploited people’ are sometimes the root of evil in our society. Having them work for little money is not an issue in my opinion.

But I take your point. Exploitation has existed since the beginning of time. It is all a matter of where one can draw a line..:) again, thanks for this lively and fun discussion!

Yes I agree with vbh21. We should pay all humans on earth only 1cent per month. Only vbh21 and I should get 1billion$ per month.
