Right now we need to discuss the how, when, and why of slave emancipation.

[Aro]

Include me, please.

[Meshelic]

Add Meshelic to the list, please.

[Shiber]

You youngsters should be ashamed of yourselves!
Why, in my days when we were all living on the trees politicians were honest, bananas only cost 0.05L and human rights activists were sent to work at the salt mines.

[Meshelic]

I've already worked the salt mines! All that time underground, digging, barely scraping a living together, until I enlisted with the Shadows. Indeed, it was my memories of working the mines that inspired me to create the Labor Party.

[Spiffor]

Count me in !
In the old days, slaves were sure a necessity, but we Apolytonians never enjoyed havong to work with underproductive slaves
As centuries passed, foreign slaves never integrated our culture, and continued to speak their languages, and to perform their rites, in communities where there wasn't any hope of a brighter future for the slaves or for their children. It is now time to finish these centuries (millenia ?) of harsh injustice !
Now, we are at last on the way to enlightement, and this very discussion proves it. The old wandering wiseman, Eewolf, would have been proud of us

While I have moral reasons to oppose slavery, I would like to express the economic reasons why we should emancipate all slaves :
- Slaves work twice as slow as PW workers, while they are as efficient as domestic citizens when they work in the city.
- Slaves do not cost any upkeep, but it is a moot point : when they work in the city, they bring much more than one gold, and thus are more cost-efficient than what they'd be as slaves.
- Many slaves are French or Americans, and do not show any more eagerness to revolt than our nationals, now that their mother civilization has been integrated.

Down with slavery ! Up with emancipation !

Then why not allow our domestic field workers to return to the cities and to the welcoming hands of their families, get themselves educated and specialize, and keep the slaves as field workers that will clean up pollution and do other random jobs.
Economically, this would be a better idea IMHO.

Ah, this is where I dreamed of: Labour an liberals UNITED in ONE movement. Thanks Nimitz. Please make me a member.


EQUALITY BEFORE LAW ABOVE ALL!

[Eli]

Hehe.

[Kloreep]

Yes! Down with slavery!

I'm not so sure eewolf would be proud of us. Our nation has developed an incrediply bloodthirsty and unethical history, frankly. But the past doesn't matter; let's worry about Apolytonia's future.

[Aidun]

I've posted a thread to make a bill for emancipation Please write down some comments...
The thread is here

Thanks,

Free them from their lives. Disband them in the jungle!

[GodKing]

Best just to take over the world before we do something as silly as emancipation......

[jdjdjd]

Count me in.
