Well humans should remain in illegal but I think everything els including dogs cats and horses are fair game


That's speciesism.

Does being superior mean that we have the right to inflict torture on the other inhabitants of the planet?

^^^Hunting animals for food is one thing. But the torture that goes on in factory meat farms is another thing altogether. That's why I finally gave up eating meat last year after years of going back and forth.

Nature is savage. But as the most intelligent beings on the planet, I believe we have the capacity to improve on our natural instincts. We don't -- at least most of us -- accept the slaughter of people in criminal acts of war, but we're willing to turn a blind eye the slaughter of the other inhabitants of our planet.

That's my opinion anyway.

If we can't produce chocolate without slavery we don't deserve chocolate.

If a business or industry can't afford to pay all workers a living wage it doesn't deserve to exist.

I think slacking off at work in any way is stealing and wrong and sinful and you deserve to be fired if you dont work hard enough for your boss or McDonalds or Walmart or Starbucks or Amazon.I also think workers should listen to the Bible and be content with their wage.

I think that unpaid internships should be the bottom rung of the ladder for all and then they can work their way up to a paid gig or switch jobs for a better gig.

was referring to unpaid internships, but speaking of modding, is it soft-slavery in your view?

No, I find it "volunteer" in the positive sense - contributing to something you believe is worth it.
After all, at any moment, I can just walk away without any consequences. It wouldn't be possible in any form of slavery.
