a) most of that is your own extrapolation, not shown in the text moratcorlm Send a noteboard - 23/01/2011 04:56:14 PM
It does not mean that their owner can't decide to have them strapped or maimed or simply killed.

b) it's hardly unique to property, as the plight of the ostensibly free working class in Randland shows. There is evidence in the text of Randland servants being starved, beaten, and raped without any furor. These are brutish pre-Enlightenment societies one and all.

There are plenty of good arguments against the Seanchan, but as they say, you are entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts. Lies don't help your case.

Seanchan Takeover of Randland Mordie01 - 22/01/2011 11:25:36 PM 2521 Views
I would be mostly okay with it if they abolished slavery first Deadsy - 23/01/2011 12:19:48 AM 1435 Views
Hopefully the Dragon's Peace (not the one Avi saw the effects of) those concerns. *NM* Japhy - 23/01/2011 03:21:04 AM 686 Views
You mean utter anarchy and a dangerously stratified society? Ghavrel - 23/01/2011 07:24:48 AM 1202 Views
The situation in Seanchan isn't that unique ranagrande - 23/01/2011 07:49:28 AM 1273 Views
Except with continous rebellion. Chas - 23/01/2011 12:13:17 PM 1272 Views
That's to be expected. ranagrande - 23/01/2011 12:56:07 PM 1206 Views
there's tons of problems there, but 20+ leaders/royals killed? Disaster anywhere... *NM* newyorkersedai - 23/01/2011 11:38:57 AM 638 Views
Funny; Caemlyn's succession crises aren't nearly as bad. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/01/2011 11:00:45 PM 622 Views
Rand deserves some credit, he did get involved early and held the Lion Throne for Elayne. *NM* Libby - 24/01/2011 08:47:42 AM 644 Views
The anarchy is what happens in the absence of Seanchan power. Cannoli - 27/01/2011 01:10:56 PM 1293 Views
Yes. That is a flaw of Seanchan governance. Ghavrel - 28/01/2011 01:54:00 AM 1128 Views
It's not the Empire's fault, and that flaw is not being duplicated in the wetlands Cannoli - 28/01/2011 11:24:00 PM 1424 Views
Wait... the indegenous Seanchan haven't changed in a thousand years? fionwe1987 - 29/01/2011 02:09:05 AM 1140 Views

It's like you don't even read anything when you post. My posts, the books themselves... Cannoli - 02/02/2011 06:41:10 PM 1252 Views
They treat channelers like DOGS! so, No. *NM* Evil_Monkey - 23/01/2011 07:56:22 AM 622 Views
I treat my dog better *NM* Voscaia Sedai - 23/01/2011 10:28:08 AM 600 Views
Good point. *NM* Evil_Monkey - 24/01/2011 01:47:29 AM 620 Views
Dogs never broke the world or created Shadowspawn, so they have it coming *NM* Cannoli - 27/01/2011 01:07:32 PM 606 Views
The Pattern certainly has some plan or purpose for the Seanchan. Libby - 23/01/2011 10:59:33 AM 1314 Views
That's what's scary. In many ways, the Seanchan embody the goals of the Pattern Lord Haart - 23/01/2011 11:41:35 PM 1129 Views
If we're going to personify things, we should be personifying the Wheel, not the Pattern. Ghavrel - 24/01/2011 12:13:49 AM 1174 Views
I think it's interesting Libby - 24/01/2011 09:23:40 AM 1194 Views

"We" don't know of the One Power existing, so obviously it disappears. *NM* Deadsy - 26/01/2011 12:14:19 AM 640 Views
Lack of knowledge doesn't mean the One Power vanishes or is destroyed. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 26/01/2011 04:03:22 PM 1110 Views
If OP still existed, you'd still have sparkers even "today". *NM* Myrdhyn - 26/01/2011 06:34:50 PM 614 Views
Not exactly; genetics are more complicated. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 27/01/2011 09:48:48 PM 1241 Views
