The hammurabi code had different price values of life depending if you were a slave or not so it fully institutionalized slavery as an absolutely normal part of society.

It detailed even "half slaves", the Ardu, which were owned, but earned wages, could pay for their own freedom, and could own slaves of their own.

I don't think you have even the most basic idea of what you are talking about.

Holy ****ing Moses.

No opinion on thread, just noticed 30 straight posts and 40 out of 41 by people on block when I have prolly 5 people blocked?

Big yikes

Thou shalt not kill is violated when humans are killed during the quest for slavery, or defense of it.

So a good part of the H code spoke about how important it was for people to be able to gain their freedom. And there were mechanisms to do so.

If slavery was moral then why wouldn’t people want to stay in it?

there were mechanisms to gain freedom and mechanism to lose it.

freedom was associated with good human beings in society according to their values and viceversa


what was considered moral was to own, as you own farm animals, humans with low inherent human qualities (according to their assessment of those).

slavery is what you do instead of killing when you win a war, at those times lol

see this is what happens when you repeat the nonsense some other idiot told you instead of doing first hand research to confirm it

the code of hammurabi is primarily concerned with making ham seem pretty awesome, it has more time dedicated to how great he is and how anyone defacing this will be cursed than any actual laws

it deals heavily with marduk, perhaps you'd care to share your opinion on him

but most germane to this discussion, is that are the forefront of his laws is that people who harbor fugitive slaves will be punished - it also deals extensively with laying out rules over under what circumstances someone could marry a slave

it also ends with slavery dealing with how warranties on them work (no, that's not a troll sentence, it
s real), how purchasing slaves from abroad will work, and lastly, that any master is allowed to cut off the ear of any slave who gets lippy

nowhere whatsoever, does it say nor even imply what you are attributing to it

slavery was huge in the ancient world

the word comes from "slavs" as the vikings would capture them and then sell them so the word slav and slave became synonomous - every time you're talking about "slavery" you're just using another word for Pole or Russian

No I’m talking about being people enslaved by other people and the various levels of morality exposed by the societies of that time.


You’re telling me a 3000 year old code gave slaves more rights than they had in the US for hundreds of years


And yet you’re tellling me they didn’t have any moral qualms about slavery. Perhaps you’re getting white slave owners and slave owners under Ham confused?

You did just try to tell me that all slavery means is a Russian or a polish person, which everyone knows is a completely lie

Why do closet racists always try to down play their racism? One thing I liked about hanging out with white power guys is they are just racists and they don’t hide it.

Y’all closeted racists are funny.

David Harewood: Homeland star named new president of drama school Rada

Moreover, Cynthia Erivo will be vice president. Given the base rate of black people in the UK (just over 4%), the chances of two black people being chosen for these two positions is pretty remote (around 1 in 500).
