Tat, there is slavery going on all over the world. People are tricked into travelling to other continents to get work, kidnapped or sold by their parents. They are held against their will and retained using violence or threats of violence. Prostitution in Europe is rife with trafficked girls. Chocolate is responsible for a lot of human trafficking and slavery in parts of Africa, and while the major manufacturers in Europe and North America have taken certain measures to clean up their act, they won't sign up to binding measures to guarantee their chocolate is slavery free because it would add perhaps 10% to the sale price of a bar.

So how can I get in on this action? I want a slave :cry:
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

Back in the early '80s there was a sea-going slave market that specialized in underage kids. The buyers would announce they were opening an orphanage in some desperately poor country and would be flooded by people bringing them children. After a short stay they would pack up the kids and move out. A signal would go out to potential buyers and a date set for the sale. The operators had diplomatic passports and were never arrested that I know of.

The Nazis gassed plenty of Gypsies, but they got a pass on it during the war crimes tribunal. The Nazis claimed they were criminals, and no one said a peep.
Just goes to show how much and widely the gypsies are hated.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

The nazis got hung on account of having lost the war. The allies had the rope handy and the nazis in cells nearby so the excuse was just an accounting feature for later.

There was a Beeb News Special late last year early this year about slavery in the U.K. It was quite shocking just how widespread it is.

Why do you think the Nazis didn't need hanging. (He purred quietly.)

I'm just saying - if Hitler had stopped his land grab whilst ahead and not broken his truce with Stalin....history might be telling a different story. I'm not taking sides, from another angle, since I don't know who'll be in charge here and reading this in a few years. :smoke:

Hitler declared a state of emergency when the Reichstag burned. He never repealed it. If he hadn't continued the war his reason for being der Fuehrer and ruling by fiat would have been in doubt. So he couldn't stop.
