Slavery has many definitions and two that fit the scenario in the documentary include : 1. One who is forced to work for a master to whom he belongs. 2. One who has lost power to resist. (Chambers paperback dictionary). There are many more definitions but I want emphasize these two as per the documentary.

Now once again to justify your argument you always compare the DR to the US, which I feel, and I have said this numerous times to you, it makes no sense. This is a scenario that's happening in the DR and the documentary focused on the DR and not Southwestern Florida. Therefore, it's completely irrelevant to me.

Can you offer any solutions to the problem instead of using the US as an invalid comparison to justify a practice that is unacceptable in this day and age? If we were discussing a problem that were happening in the US I would say your argument is justified. If you don’t have any suggestions then I will end the discussion with you here because that's what I would like to hear are suggested solutions to the problem in the DR and not comparisons.
