I own a car. It is my property. I can do with it exactly what I want. I have noticed when it has no oil in its engine, no amount of beating makes it run better.

Some of the greatest architects, generals, administrators of city states were slaves.

Pushing the "stop" button, never seems to make my CD player play music.

When trying to get the herd moving in ONE direction, it is easier to have all in the herd facing in the same direction.

You are not "real" people, just figments of your own imagination.

This girl reads the posts and this girl listens and watches and accepts O/other's views as E/each are individuals. Everyone practises in different ways....HOWEVER....this issue of "real slave" and how it is defined has ruffled feathers and to be certain it is not the first time. Firstly the word slave has been around for 1,000's of years. It is most basic form. It is the owned property of someone else that is bought or sold and yes even stolen and can be done with in the soul purpose of its Owner. Yes put on a pedastal or beaten beyond recognition, yes even snuffed. That is simply fact. And sticking one's head into the sand and pretending otherwise is just plain ridiculous. Redefining the word to make it have a pretty attraction gives false pretense to what it factually is...But if it eases your conscience....

In this lifestyle in order for persons to accept the word slave and the lifestyle in social aspects or vanilla life and in an attempt to make people not fear the lifestyle, persons have simply redefined this word (slave). Something similar to the the word "marriage". "Oh yes of course i am slave, but it is voluntary, or it is a gift, or it is when i feel like it i wanna be." "It is always safe and sane and concentual" Well fact is fact. A slave is a commodity, an object, it has a price. It is not always safe, nor is it sane and as slave most definitely not always consensual. So if people wish to use the term "slave" at least use it in the correct context. Understand the true depths of what such a word means. Since when does a slave turn to a Master/Mistress and dictate?..Since when does a slave have the right to turn around and dismiss themselves from their Owner? Since when does a slave have rights period? A girl has no qualms with a Master "extending" certain rights to what is His/Hers out of the value that that slave has shown and proven. But to simply say that a slave "has" rights ....for the life of her...she can not phathom. Perhaps the difference between fairytale lifestyle and fact.

Should master decide to snuff a slave on the courthouse steps, master certainly finds himself in jail for a very long time. No amount of delusional arguments of "she was my property, she didn't have rights" will make any difference.

I wanted to point out that consequences for actions do not negate the ability to perform those actions. Much of what we do has the potential to create a cause of action in civil courts, and certainly in criminal courts (as the thread on GM demonstrates). The slavery we speak of here and in most online forums is laced with sayings like SSC, RACK, etc. and most have ideas of what they feel would be abuse.

BUT, an O/p relationship will be what the people involved make of it and will be as "real" as the people involved choose to make it, notwithstanding any consequences that might arise from it. That's an uncomfortable thought for most, abhorrent to others, but then again, as EmeraldSlave2 points out often...if you can imagine it, people are doing it.
