Subject: Slavery: What if it never happened?

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.
~M.D~

Not just in the US, but the world. Where would we be if slavery was never a thing?

Gamertag - Rdog 11

Call me Rdog, not RdOG or RdOG1507. I made that username when I thought it was cool to use alternating capital and lowercase letters...

Then maybe civil rights wouldn't have happened, and we would still look at black people as aliens or something. I don't know.

(No offense is meant to black people, and I'm not saying slavery is/was good)

Slavery was around for 1000's of years.

Many things wouldn't exist.

Dear tomorrow, Find some sensibility, Respond to emotion.
Dear Politician, Define sagacity,
All chances of survival are beginning to diminish.
Comedy is no excuse for our own blasphemies.
Mass media, Mass pessimism, Mass Denial.
My television tells me to panic, but I don't think I'll listen.
The apathetic force us to persevere, with their backwards priorities.

The same position. We would do work ourselves.

I thought about this last week.

- No rap music.
- Less KFC.
- More work.
- No nicki minaj
- Probably a better world.

The world would be so much different.
Whether we like it or not, slavery was the foundation of many, many cultures. The Romans enslaved many, many races. The orient enslaved their own. Europeans enslaved anyone they could.

It is not possible to imagine how different the world would be.

You realize black people weren't the only people to be enslaved, right?

Pyramids would never have happened correct?


The Pyramids were built by Egyptians. Well fed and well taken care of Egyptians.

There was actually a lot of pride in their work. Building teams were constantly competing against each other. People actually liked Kufu.

Recon Number 54 -
If they are still looking, then while holding the snarl, I let drool start to drip from my mouth, I stand, curl my fingers into claws and with a hunched over crouch, I then make slow and deliberate steps towards them. When I get close enough, I let them hear my agonized and gasping growls and then, if they continue to stare, when I get within arm's reach? I kiss them on the nose, and run away giggling.

This is going to get racist fast.

Well considering how long slavery has been around it's difficult to say. The population distribution would likely be rather different.

Interesting, yet difficult to answer.

For that to happen then Catholics must never happen. Catholics were the one who helped put slavery, racism, murder, oppression, and more into the world. Honestly what angers me not is that they say me being ghey is wrong yet they were the ones that murdered millions and enslaved billions. They even play the Sodom point and I just laughed and tell them how their cities got destroyed for sin way more than gheys. And there is even a city in the Bible where God destroyed a hetero city.

It would be a better and peaceful without Catholicism

This x1000. The west would not have ever become dominant. Some cultures did not practice slavery nearly like how others did, or there have been misconceptions about the nature of the slavery.

Had the Romans never enslaved their captives, there goes a large chunk of the western world right there. That is how they established such dominance. Same with the Americas. Enslaving the country of India allowed Britain to get many precious materials and resources. Needless to say how different things would be had they not enslaved parts of Africa.

The whole world would be different. We'd not be having this discussion were it not for slavery, as sad as it is.

-No blues/jazz
-Less rock, definitely not as good
-Not enough people to do dirty/physical
-No Jimi Hendrix
Probably a very different world, can't say if better or worse though.

Country: United States.
State: Pennsylvania.
County: Warren.
I graduated from high school on June-11-2011. I'm 19 right now. I'm turning 20 in December. I like playing video games, and board games. I like reading Sci-Fi, and World War II novels, and what not.

"There is nothing better in the world than being better at a video game than someone else....oh wait"

WW2 would have a different outcome. The Allies would still win, but Germany and Russia used slave labor.

They call me graland.

The entire world would be so different that it'd be impossible to even begin speculating what it would look like. Whatever anyone came up with would be pure fiction.

they were prisoners and were free after becoming a soldier. Much better than going on stupid crusades and killing everything in site while going "God is love! God is love!"
