Let me ask, when slavery was legal in the US, was it right?

This is a horrible, irrelevant, Godwin-like analogy and you are one of the dumbest people I have ever met on the wide open internets. I will explain this briefly and move on, ignoring any replies.

I would never smoke marijuana myself but I'd be glad to fight to the death for Jacks right to enjoy it. Note that I mentioned law nowhere in the previous sentence. I simply do not care if someone of below-average intelligence with no understanding of the subject matter was paid to say it is illegal. I am not impressed at all.

Jacks was concerned that a person could take his money on promise of goods and not deliver. He did not say he worried that their actions might contradict some pompous declaration.

To address your ridiculous analogy for a moment: No, slavery was never a good idea, even when it was legal. What a lovely illustration of the fact that legality does not imply a person should or should not do anything.

It makes me sad that you are alive.

Legal is not the same as right. That's a classic argument fallacy (not even including the straw man component). Google "postmodern ethics".

I never said slavery was right or wrong, merely noting that it was legal at one point in the US and asked if that status made it automatically "right" in that regard.

Don't mind him, he's just sad that slavery ended.
