You're expending way too much energy solon, these idiots don't have the combined intelligence of a pile of fresh steaming cow manure on a rainy day. This jallen's brain is the size of a wart on a chijuaja's rear end, and these dumbasses flock together like a dung beetle convention and brummy wants to know about Intelligent design vs Darwin's dumb blind forces? They are the ass end of the line living truth of it! Einstein was right about infinite stupidity, God sure blew it with these monkeys, but life being what it is does allow for them to multiply & continue to whine & wallow. (oink oink)

Slavery -- natural or conventional?Aristole's theory of slavery is found in Book I, Chapters iii through vii of the Politics. and in Book VII of the Nicomachean Ethics Aristotle raises the question of whether slavery is natural or conventional. He asserts that the former is the case. So, Aristotle's theory of slavery holds that some people are naturally slaves and others are naturally masters. Thus he says: But is there any one thus intended by nature to be a slave, and for whom such a condition is expedient and right, or rather is not all slavery a violation of nature? There is no difficulty in answering this question, on grounds both of reason and of fact. For that some should rule and others be ruled is a thing not only necessary, but expedient; from the hour of their birth, some are marked out for subjection, others for rule.
