Officially. mountain hare Posted at 8:39 pm on July 5, 2008 I'm a slave to eating and shitting. Emancipate me!

I'd love to hear about the traumatic experiences they suffered under the whip of the white man. I've been telling you MH, it'll be something along the lines of this... Quote: from Anonymous at 7:51 pm on July 5, 2008 i'm mexican but i've been a slave to like white ppl ... well i was maid but they treated me like a slave and i couldnt do any thing cuz i need the money to help feed my sisters and save up for collage It's funny how the very word "slavery" itself is broad enough to be used in such a manner. mountain hare Posted at 8:15 pm on July 5, 2008 Wow, some of the posters here must be downright ancient.
