| Message | Of course it is. If, having committed no crime, you must obey the state and do whatever you are ordered to do, you are a slave. I don't know why you are arguing, I would think that enslaving people is precisely what you want achieve. |

| Message | 'You say "having committed no crime", but you just voted against slavery as punishment.' what is your point? this bill applies to school leavers, the other bill applies to convicted criminals. are you saying that every school leaver is a convicted criminal? if not, i cannot see why your statement has any relevance here. |
