CavVets comments got me thinking. If I could have a slave legally would I want one too? I guess I would be definitely tempted especially if it was more like in the Roman times where they could become citizens.
Its morally wrong, but what if it was the norm? I could always use someone to pick up after me, especially if she had nice boobies.  ETA: Someones |

Morally wrong.
Most despicable thing the human race has ever involved itself in. Of course some of the asshats here think going out to eat is buying a slave, albeit for limited duration, and they don't want to pay for them.

Cheap labor. Actually quite expensive. About $200k each until they turn 18. |

No way.
By the way, disregard the moral factors. If society did allow slave ovnership, would it be mine for life, or could I just let my slave go some day. Really makes a difference in profitability. If I can just use my slave and then turn the slave out when I no longer need the labor, that might be a really good deal for me. Just dump the cost of them on society when I am finished with them. But if I am responsible for my slave until my slave dies, then that is one big economic drag. I will end up running an old folks home for my slaves when they are too tired, old or injured to work. |

I forgot the add, the kids are not slaves. It is more like an intern program. No pay, lots of hard work, and a good learning experience for them in the process.

No matter what your sex slave says, she will eventually fall in love and want to get married. Then who will be the slave?

No. Since they would be a capital investment (capable of being bought and sold...has monetary value) you'd have to make the same kind of maintenance investements that you do with any other property. That is, you'd have to feed them, make sure that they are healthy -- medical, dental, etc. If they are sick, etc., then they are of no value to you.
Having a horse might be a good example. Besides that, you have to put up with all of their problems, etc., and have to supervise them more than you would a worker who is working for money. It's just not worth it. It is more economical just to hire people to do your odd jobs. Slave owners prior to the Civil War had the same problems. |

even if you bought a slave, it would not be free labor. you would be wholly responsible for the care and welfare of the slave. you might not have to pay him/her a wage per-se, but you would still need to feed, clothe and shelter him/her. It would probably come out to the same $$ if you hired someone at minimum wage to work for you.

Talk about slavery and everybody focuses upon it's effect on the enslaved. But the reality is that slavery is worse for the master than it is for the slave. Slavery in the United States was an unmitigated disaster. There has been nothing in our history that has done more damage to our country.

Why would you do that to bourbon? That's worse than a Manhattan. Actually, it sounds good. I have some Maker's Mark lying around, so maybe I'll try one.

I would let them work off their costs at a good market rate and free them. Technological advantages really mitigate the need for manual labor thus slavery does not really pay dividends.

It is actually quite a bit higher. Even at very low living standards. And that is why slavery was a doomed institution regardless of politics. |
