"slavery, while far from ideal, is not itself immoral."
Anybody who claims this, should be asked how his opinion would change if he himself would be the slave.
It worked for Plato.

Quote
Meno's slave is a character in the Socratic dialogue, Meno, which was written by Plato.

Socrates demonstrates his method of questioning and recollection by questioning a slave boy who works in Meno's house. This house slave is ignorant of geometry. The subsequent discussion shows the slave capable of learning a complicated geometry problem. In this way, Socrates shows Meno that learning is possible. Indeed, the dialogue earlier demonstrated Meno's failure to benefit from Socratic teaching.

"All those who didn't claim to take delivery of a BFL miner after midnight, the self-imposed deadline of a promise, then later was learnt that said delivery was still at BFL's office in KC to forgo further testing, may enter. Not so fast, Luke Jr. Drop your drawers and give me 1,000 masturbation strokes while procreating with this here goat."
