That's pretty ignorant to say, if you ever talked to a real slave they'd be offended I'm sure. I see what you're saying but I heavily disagree as it's pretty offensive and taking the matter very lightly.
I'm sorry, do you know a lot of slaves? I think you're looking for offense. Much of society is owned by the bank, indebted to them with no hope of gaining freedom. And since the idea of purchasing a person isn't an idea I would entertain, or a reality of where I live, I looked at is in the way that I actually see slavery in the world. Do you see people the way you are describing slavery frequently? Because I see lots of people who live like drones with no hope of escaping who are brainwashed into thinking they have a choice.
I do not take it lightly. My heart goes out to people in that situation. Especially children forced into prostitution. But do not call me ignorant because I don't want to play your game of "who wants a servant to do their chores?" I am not lazy and if I need to hire someone to do work for me I will pay them fair wages. If you were truly concerned about human bondage in the world you probably should have phrased the options a bit differently.
No, I see what you're saying but there's just no comparison, and it's really offensive to even try to compare it.
I've personally been forced to work, and also bought into 'work' for things I wanted and consciously signed on for. Totally different. And totally offensive to compare the two.
I ran away from home and went to New York City at 15, you can imagine the rest of the story. Yes, I know 'slavery' and knew many 'slaves'. true slaves, Not people who were paying off a Prada bag, but paying off a beating and worse.
I know of many children who had been treated this way by their own families. It may go by a different term, but it holds the same merit. "I'd better do the dishes or he'll hit me." "I'd better make dinner or he'll hit me." "I gotta keep my brother from crying", you get the point. The thing is, it can all be compared. I've known a lot of horrific pain; scary, strange, and downright creepy.. It's all vaguely familiar to the pain I see on the faces of everyday people.
If it was legal to own a slave, would you?

That's a tad dramatic, no?
I was just gonna post this, we are all slaves to the workforce in some way or another, however real slaves had it way worse.
