and putting someone in a cage is doing that

The master can do anything he wants to the person

slaves were never put in cages.

?

then why did you say so?

But I still consider it that, even though some other advance race could do the same @Amoviet

How do you think they transported slaves?

Slaves were put in cages.

Merely being in a cage doesn't make you not a slave

"slaves were never put in cages."
"Slaves were put in cages."

I never said they were

that period should have been question mark

Were slaves put in cages?

Yes

So being caged has no bearing on slavehood

if you're under the control of someone and your only option is to work for them or die, that is slavery

its as simple as that

It doesnt no, nor did I say it does

@BabygottBach You are applying the same moral complexity of locking up a person for manual labor and treating them like an animal to locking up an animal and treating it like an animal. (By animal I mean something non-sentient/sapient, like a Buffalo.)

No i"m not

You are,

Sure seems like it, considering the comparison you made.

we're haing two separate discussions here

Animals are sentient

Your Counterargument is faulty.

I'm way past animals now

This is fucking gay lmao

My counterargument worked. It forced E to shift goal posts

now his definition of slavery has changed

No I didnt

my definition is the exact same

it now includes "being under the control of someone"

So as soon as you realize you might be wrong, you claim you were never talking about this?

Yes which was my definition at first

Rather than address the point made?

You never said that before my cage slave example. You merely said "needing to work to live"

and you need to work under someone when you work usually.

are you talking to me or E?

I thought this was common sense

You.

I was never talking to you, but to E
