[QUOTE="essentialsaltes, post: 73669206, member: 294566"] It can't be [I][B]objectively[/B][/I] right or wrong, no. That's not the kind of statement that moral statements are. It is enough for me that I believe it is wrong. (Getting back to the question of rights. If rights were objective then they wouldn't change with society. So assuming that everyone has the right to be free, they always had that right. Nobody freed the slaves; they were free all along, because no one could grant them the right of freedom. If a slave actually had an objective right to be free, while she was born in slavery, lived in slavery, and died in slavery, then it is an objective thing not worth having.) [/QUOTE]
