Today, my son asked me if slavery was ever abolished. He's 19. FML
I agree, your life sucks 46 886
You deserved it 7 420

Say no and then make him do chores all week.

In his defense, there are still countless slaves in the world.

Someone let someone watch a bit too much tv growing up..

It's not that silly of a question. The state of Mississippi only finally completed the legal process of abolishing slavery in February 2013. Fact.

In the US no, but in countless countries slavery still exists.

Do you understand the meaning of "abolished"?

It is till I take over the world.

Give him a break, slavery is by no means restricted to forced labor and being in chains. Dr. King's civil rights movement is far from over which was made apparent in recent news over the Travon Martin controversy

correct me if I'm wrong but the trayvon Martin case was a huge thing on RACISM not slavery. very different

He probably meant a double meaning... Unless he is notoriously an idiot

don't even bother using your hard earned money to pay for his college, that dude is a lost cause..

more like FHL because his parents do not make sure he had a proper education

I think he thinks you are over working him...or he never paid attention in history class...
