You Mean Todays Standard for a Todays Fiction... Ya...

Walk Free - The Movement to End Modern Slavery

Embrace knowledge USC, it'll set you free.

 

[USCDoom]

EXACTLY. Heh. Hey, you're free, at least for the next half hour or so, until you walk past the next plantation and they capture you for a runaway slave, whip you, hobble you, and put you to work on their plantation...

ENJOY!!!!

You really haven't thought it through.

And what's with your weird capitalization fetish btw?

Do you not realize you JUST proved the Point I have been Trying to Make about Lack of Choice by the Slave Soldiers... Faced with a Greater Power than their Former Masters how could they Choose the Unknown...

 

[chf]

So, me as a Free Person in North America can Decide the Fate of Politics in China....

Now apply this thought to the Show...

Can you UNDERSTAND the plight of people in China?

Yes or no?

 

[chf]

They're soldiers, unlike the slaves in your scenario. They're not only soldiers, they're badass mothefucker soldiers, possibly the best shock troops on the world.

Walk Free - The Movement to End Modern Slavery

Embrace knowledge USC, it'll set you free.

So you can Free a Hooker Slave to be just a Hooker?

 

[USCDoom]

Can you UNDERSTAND the plight of people in China?

Yes or no?

That is a Complicated Answer.

Not being of China how can I understand China. Me being an Individual Born from American Anti Federalism, I doubt I could ever understand the motives of the Chinese People, Individuals Yes, but not the People. Yet I have had Free Will ALL My Life to learn as much as I can. Can you say the same for the Soldiers in the Show?

 

[chf]

They were raised as Slave Soldiers, not as Manual Labor Slaves, Not as Civil Slaves, Not as Menial Labor Slaves, but Slave Soldiers, from Birth.

Slaves is Secondary to the Fact they are Mindless Soldiers, used by a Person with more Power than their Previous Masters. Who is Written as a Good Person. That is what I cannot overcome about the Show. The fact her Family is Evil, and all she Does is Evil, yet Written as Good, or at least something Strong...


Yet does this show not Pretend it is is a Thinking Show, rather than a Non Thinking Show. How many Theories are out there about this show.

I will use this Metaphor as I believe it is 100% Correct.

Hitlers Daughter, Using Nukes and Slave Soldiers, Returns to Reclaim the 3rd Reich. (Now the writers will soften this Blow but it is the Truth). Seriously Her Father Burn People Alive for the Hell of It, and she wants to Reclaim THAT, using what she Uses? Evil!

Yep, you can't get past it, because you don't grok that he's offering up social commentary on our society through the lens of THEIR SOCIETY.

Dany herself is SOLD to Khal Drogo by her own brother. Cersei, many of the female characters in the books talk about being 'brood mares,' because that's what they are. It's not a pleasant society to live in, for MOST PEOPLE.

Is that because GRRM is a big fan o' slavery? Of controlling women?

C'mon dude, think it through.

 

[chf]

So you can Free a Hooker Slave to be just a Hooker?

If she chooses to be a hooker, yep.

 

[chf]

That is a Complicated Answer.

Sure you can. They're called books.

Pretty cool invention. Puts you right in the life of the characters.

 

[USCDoom]

If she chooses to be a hooker, yep.

So if a Slave Chooses to be a Slave they are not Really a Slave...

 

[USCDoom]

Sure you can. They're called books.

Pretty cool invention. Puts you right in the life of the characters.

So you could learn enough about me to Rule My Politics through a Book........

 

[chf]

I have gone into this at length, and if you cannot see the Moral Flaw in your opinion then I can no longer Help...

Just curious, but how old are you?

 

[chf]

So if a Slave Chooses to be a Slave they are not Really a Slave...

That's what choice is. 'CHOICE' is also the choice to make bad choices. Like me choosing to get married twice. No-one held a gun to my head.

 

[chf]

So you could learn enough about me to Rule My Politics through a Book........

Or by you know, using words and talking to you, sure.

We're humans, we have language, we have empathy. Empathy is why Dany got sidetracked from her mission to regain Westeros and went tilting at windmills freeing slaves.

Silly rabbit.

 

[USCDoom]

Just curious, but how old are you?

That is a Complicated Answer...
The Body is 41
The Mind is 1,341
The Soul is Existence...

 

[USCDoom]

Silly rabbit.

Do not confuse Empathy with Compassion....

 

[chf]

That is a Complicated Answer...
The Body is 41
The Mind is 1,341
The Soul is Existence...

So you're 41 going on 17.

I give you props for maintaining your somewhat adorable wide-eyed innocence.

 

[chf]

Do not confuse Empathy with Compassion....

Heh. It's all there in the books that you probably didn't read, and in the shows too, but you have to pay attention. Dany was SOLD by her own brother.

She was, a slave, albeit a really pampered one.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

I have gone into this at length, and if you cannot see the Moral Flaw in your opinion then I can no longer Help...

Yeah, it's not you. It's everyone else. . .

 

[USCDoom]

Self Haters are the Most Evil...
