If slavery was legal, would you own slaves

Depends on technology. If not modern, yes but would only own one. If it is modern, then no.

Imma need that pass back, cracka!

Ding ding. We've found the third member of the legion, and the second hypothetical slave driver.

Hell no! Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you?

... The British economy is fucked right now. You think I can afford slaves? And you gotta feed those fuckers too.

Lol

I wouldn't own slaves either, too much upkeep.

Cultists are more fanatically loyal anyway.

Not only that, but the cultists actually pay you for the privilege of being in your cult. ^_^

I would buy them but then set them free, they'd be so grateful and I could also charge them rent.

(That's a lie obviously, I don't want anyone living near me, and especially not the poors.)

If slavery were legal I would probably think it's normal, so would everyone else. So probably yeah 

In the 1800s, probably not, but mostly because I don't think I'd be that interested in working in any of the industries where slavery is more profitable. It would be nice to be a southern aristocrat, sure. But owning a factory that can be built up into a chain business or inventing janky repeating guns or whatever would allow me to travel the world and screw mistresses is probably a lot more up my alley. But that's the ideal scenario, in actuality odds are I would just be poor.

In much earlier times though when most of industry is just farming, in any situation where I'm not a peasant, probably yeah.

I mean realistically, odds are nearly everyone here would be working in a field one way or another.

Except for Malk who would be giving payday loans with interest until we run him out of town.

This question is also too important to be in the retarded Friday question thread

If it was legalized in my current lifetime, no.
Maybe in another time where it was more normalized, and I was wealthy enough, and it made economic sense I would.

Petros just rated my story highly, so no.

Yeah

My family is too poor. 

*throws loose change into your cup*

That's the elegance of ancient slavery, if your parents are poor they can just sell you as a superfluous daughter and then be less poor.

Hello, I'm EndMaster. You may have remembered me from such organizations as Cannibals for Christ and the Adopt a Hound of Tindalos Foundation.

Did you know there are thousands of CYStian children that are slaveless? Yes, these underprivledged children like Stargirl here come from modest first world homes that make just enough to be comfortable, but lack the means to make their lives even easier.

For just a dollar a day you can help these children have a slave of their own. A dollar a day, that's less than an over priced cup of coffee. You don't have anything better to spend it on, you cheap bastards. You got enough money to still buy your degenerate anime porn.

When you sponser a child you will get an update of how their lives are improving due to owning a slave that they can now afford thanks to your help. And when you see the smiles on these childrens' faces as they order their miserable slaves what to do, you will know that you've done a good thing in this world.

The list of slaveless CYStian children is endless, but with your help and your money, especially with your money, the situation is not hopeless and YOU can be that change for the better.

And not only that, but as stated by Florida the slaves will develop "skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit."
