I am not disavowing my statement. I believe it whether you like it or not. What is the difference between the government passing laws allowing abortion, which I abhor, and the government passing laws to allow slavery? I hate abortion but there are many who take advantage of this detestable right. If the government passed such a law on slavery I would not own slaves but you can bet there would be those who would and it would be legal because the government allows it.

[taxesareforever] My position on slavery? I don't consider it is wrong to have slaves.

Ah-ah-ahhhh... You can't weasel out of your statement like that. You cannot not-disavow the statement "I don't consider it wrong to have slaves" by redefining it as the meaningless tautology "if it were legal to have slaves then it would be legal."

I'm curious: If you don't consider it wrong to own slaves, then why wouldn't you own slaves if it were legal? Too expensive? Not enough land to locate the slave quarters on?

Post #375 read: "My position on slavery? I don't consider it is wrong to have slaves."

In #597 you wrote "Point of order. Post #375 wasn't mine."

In #603 I provide the exact post, with all headers and footers, and it's clearly yours. I also challenged you to disavow your comment regarding it not being "wrong to have slaves."

Then, in #608 you wrote:

We are not talking about the government passing laws, we are talking about your original post, "My position on slavery? I don't consider it is wrong to have slaves."

I have yet to see you disavow this post or the sentiments it contains. You even write "I am not disavowing my statement. I believe it whether you like it or not."

I don't see how you can show your face on these threads after expressing such a disgusting opinion and then refusing to apologize for it or to disavow it.
