That’s not how extraordinary claims work. Nothing in that article says ‘all cultures’ it just lists the cultures that are known to have.

Cute though, nice try.

Okay, I change my claim to “almost all cultures”. I think there’s enough evidence here to support that.

Happy now?

  Why is it so important to you that “almost all cultures” practiced slavery? What does that do for you?
  
  It doesn’t absolve the inherent evil of the institution. No amount of “well billy and tommy did it too” makes it right, kiddo.

    At the risk of repeating myself: “they practiced slavery” isn’t an argument you can just throw at any race or nationality in particular without inflicting massive self-damage.

    I never claimed that. But I’m still waiting for you to find me a single example of a culture that never practiced slavery.

    So… Now that you have multiple examples, what then sport? Will you reevaluate your flawed premise and integrate new information that refutes your logic, or will you just piddle along with the flawed reasoning that got you here?
