Quoting Dis:
slavery in rome had only very few things in common with slavery in usa for example.
i just dont get where anyone could get an insult out of this... why the christians? or muslims? the slavery in rome was based against all "non romans"... it was not religiously based.

Talk about reading carefully, Dis. One of the driving factors of Hitler's success in the German political arena was the motivation that non-Germans (true-bloods) were the cause of their problems. It wasn't religiously based, although Jews will tell you they were persecuted for their religion in Germany, it was economically based. If you weren't from the motherland, you were an outcast. You're in Germany now, aren't you Dis? You should know this. It's the same thing, no matter how you look at it.
Maybe we should talk about the slaves who were thrown to the lions for sport on a Saturday afternoon. Was that politically acceptable? I mean those slaves were worthless after all. In fact we should run an experiment, one day we'll throw christians to the lions to be mauled to death in mass numbers, and then the next we'll gas jews and bury them in mass numbers. Then we'll take a poll and find out which phase is the most disgusting. But I'll need some volunteers, let's see, who's first? Don't be shy...
Oh, and thank you Immortal (seriuosly) for bringing up the point about the Muslims. Isn't easy for us to group people by religion? There must be a money-related motive in there some how. We can always find ways to separate people from others. Age, sex, color, religion, whatever. And hey, now that we've got them separated, let's make some worthless. That way we can get free work out them while we lay around and do nothing. Hey, I like this. We can even kill them at will. What are they going to do? Complain? I think not, we'd just have to kill more of them. Bah, end of RANT.
I'm just saying if you want the game to be played so that one religion is protected, make so that all religions are protected. You're blind-sided "God" complex is not a good example for the younger players here.
Slaves....heh, you people really need a drink.
