Could you be a slave/pet?

[Splashee 28,564]

It isn't interesting me to have or be.

[Flying Pencil 3,024]

I will resist and will not be treated like a slave

[Evil Pink One 13,507]

Very wise... One step to freedom is to know the truth and knowing that you are a slave.... How else would you brake out of slavery if you do not think you are a slave?

Any of you two wish to join me in a “Communist revolution”?

I would simply let the train do its thing.... A wise toddler once did: Took  the single person and placed it with the rest and trampled everyone with a train.

Yes if only we have that kind mercy.

This was phrased a bit interestingly enough, but I think I would fight back.

It's interesting to me how some people confuse my softness for weakness and have tried to make me into a pet/slave, only to result in their frustration that I have a lot of pride and only cater to those who show me basic human decency or respect. So, the answer to this question is automatically a no, much to the distress of the controlling/ego types.

First time I've ever heard this one 
Oh.. wait.. you brag about being a troll... Hmmmm.... I'll entertain you, then 
I can be a bit controlling of my projects as a perfectionist. It's unbearable sometimes. Or like when I had terror of flying in air planes cause I'm not the one in control of the machine -- "driving is more dangerous than flying," they say -- YEAH WELL AT LEAST I HAVE CONTROL OVER THE CAR D:

[Old Accnt. 3,149]

I will always fight back

humans are worth more than being pets/slaves

D:   me? Brag!? Of being a troll? Preposterous! I AM a troll... A king of their caliber actually

I like the transition you made from controlling.... To afraid of planes... Then connect it vaguely with control. Very confusing. I like it.

I give it a 7/10 though.

Note: also i fix your planes.... So its extra fun and thrilling now to fly in one.... You'd never know what will happen next

You, me and football players will always have control of the car

That is very poignant and true. We are all prisoners to the extent of the limitations of our consciousness.

The acceptance of our circumstances and our awareness of the current moment opens us up to freedom.

You can still be a slave and be free, you can still be free and be a slave. It depends on your awareness and acceptance.

Source of this anime please.

i watch a lot of anime mate, i can't remember what it was or it might not have even been anime.

I'm not the latter if I travel out of town.

Yes for an entity whose status is suitable for such a role, not for an entity whose status is insufficient for such a role (I think it was de La Boétie in his The Politics of Obedience: The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude who described a righteous ruler as a strong man with power whereas a tyrant is a weak man with power). However, the term servant is preferred as slave has rather negative connotations.

To elaborate further, I am of the mind that hierarchies are inherent aspects of ourselves. What we must be concerned about are good or perverse hierarchies. Assuming we speak of a good hierarchy, then it would be in my interest to adhere according to wherever it is I lie on said hiearchy which may mean being a servant of those who are higher up or to be worthy of being the one for whom others will be a servant (though if one lies in the middle, then one will be both a servant and be served to varying extent). One thing I on which I have become more doubtful is not only that many do not truly value freedom, but perhaps they should not be granted it. What comes to mind is a point made by Bertrand de Jouvenel from his On Power where the emancipation of people who are naturally submissive will eventually result in them, in effect, demand for the abolition of freedom for they fear it: they desire security. The types of people who truly do value freedom are those with the aristocratic mindset as they ultimately rely on themselves rather than being dependent on another entity. The aristocracy were not inclined to be submissive to the monarch; they struggled to maintain their independence. I seem to recall de Jouvenel making the point that the state of liberty should be available in general in the event that there is, so to speak, a servant with an aristocratic mindset. However, this is more likely to be the exception rather than the norm. What forcing liberty on all does is undermining those of the aristocratic mindset, as it were, from living in liberty by the masses who were never liberty minded in the first place.
