I found this article where you could find out how many slaves you have based on the things you own.

http://www.slaveryfootprint.org

It seems like it bases a lot on assumptions and so on, but still kinda neat. I was at 67, most of which is attributed to the fact I have kids (and kids stuff seems to use a lot of slaves apparently)

What's the other kind of slavery? Robot slavery?

btw how is NOT buying this stuff supposed to help? i guess they would starve to death before having kids so the system doesnt get perpetuated, so thats helping i guess.

Wow, didn't know I employed so many slaves.

If anyone on RM wants to share slaves, PM me. I bet we can save a lot on overhead if we pool them together.

I bet an actual slave could take this quiz and it would say they have at least a dozen slaves.

27, and it's interesting that they peg the average at 25. It makes me think that the grand majority of people taking this survey are college students, since I came in pretty low on the things that I own compared to the scales that it had.

I think kids and home ownership did me in.

I think the actual slaves I have working for me in my home did it for me.

Home ownership was the big one for me, as well. I'm surprised I didn't get docked more for seafood, as it's a big part of my diet.

laziest post ever? maybe...

i would have actually gone sex before diamonds, buddy, but you know, that's the kind of date i tend to be.

can we just get down to discussing how human beings are totally okay with ANYthing happening to other human beings, so long as we don't have to read about it, think about it, or see a movie about it starring famous people? or are we still playing pretend?
