This poll is motivated by a karma message that I really find hard to believe. Anyway, what do you think?

What are your thoughts on gay slaves...:eyebrow:

I really don't think slavery is right. It was definitely a bad time in our history but I guess if I had owned slaves 200 years ago, I would have made sure I had two gay slaves. I wouldn't have to worry about my wife being raped and hopefully they wouldn't hit on me. I would have to sleep on my back with one eye open though. :poke: They probably wouldn't have been much use in the field but I'm sure they could have cooked up a nice quiche in the kitchen. I probably could have picked them up for cheap since they were flawed, kind of like the shirt sold that has one sleeve slightly longer than another.

Again, I am not for slavery. I strongly feel it was wrong but it was so long ago. If we are gonna apoligize to blacks, lets line up the Irish, Jews, Japanese and everyone else who has had to go through injustices in our history.

This poll is flawed. You need to separate apology and reparations. Most people have issues with the 'reparations' part, but not the 'apology' part. The way you set this up doesn't support that nuance.
