• Original Argument

  • All humans are mortal

  • Socrates is human.

  • Therefore, Socrates is mortal.

• Modern Day Slavery Argument

  • If all slavery is exploiting another human

  • All humans are innately opportunistic

  • Therefore, slavery will always be a part of a human experience.

Analysis:

Less then 1% of people are enslaved today. I'd say that's pretty damn good.

Real world example of "Modern Day Slavery":

Indian culture regularly practices planned marriages as it is linked to their way of life since the beginning of their culture.

Is that considered slavery?

Counter argument:

You can't put a number on human life.

Gnarles's Response:

You just did, and I bet your accountant can tell me exactly how much if I met him.

So what's really going on here?
