Might be an Eye Opener. I think the Greeks invented slavery like everything else.
No they didn't invent it, but they did abandon it as a bad idea thousands of years ago.
So, what made the Turks think it was a good idea to resurrect it? .... after everyone else, also, decided it was a bad idea!
Read what Plato said about slavery. If it was good for the Greeks its damn well good for the others.
I was only responding to Yialoussa response. 'Seek and ye shall find'.
Yes, Plato ... some 2,300 years ago.
How does your name-dropping, justify those who practice slavery to this day?
When it suits you, you always quote the ancient Greeks. so..............
whats good for the goose...............
No, not when it "suits" me, but when it is justified, I would quote the ancient Greeks, or any other authority.
So Deniz, how does your quote justify what is practiced by Turks, so recently?
... or did you just make an error in simply attempting justification?
I do not justify it at all. I was pointing out to Yialoussa that it has been going on for eons.
Do you know the circumstances of these girls being 'sold'? or was it merely the 'dowry' system which makes it look like 'slave trade'. It needs to be researched. At least we know that modern (ok 16th Century- 19th Century) was meant to be a profitable venture en masse. 'The TCs girls' perhaps you could count them with the gigits of one hand. How widespread was it? any ideas?
Still trying to justify this practice ....
