depends on what you consider slavery....
in ancient greece slaves were better educated than some of their owners....they were the teachers
they were often well treated and considered part of the family
in other parts of the world however...they were the dirt beneath ones feet
but please keep in mind....all the greatest wonders man has created from the wall of china to the pyramids would not exist without slavery
Now during the night you control all you wish from your surroundings to the people who you wish to be yours.Freewill is in everything especially people,you may claim them as slaves at night but if they decide to turn you are theirs during the day.Point blank i'd rather have a willing subserviant then a slave.
I agre with Pandora...otherwise you hold a two faced Blade ...
Should Vampires Treat humans as slaves? Well, if you wanted to go by RPG aspect, they were slaves before they were free. Cattle, live stock, there for their masters will to live only.
Yet at a more Realistic and True Vampire POV. I think Humans were more like Commoners and those born into the blood was more like Nobles.
As for now, No need for Slavery, everyone has a slave in some way, shape or form. Willing Admits to being a slave, or perhaps the person that you love and vice versa, they tend, in a sense to be a slave as well.

There are more humans than vampires. Vampires are stronger, but people could eradicate them, if they knew about them.
No slavery is wrong whatever the case and absolute power corrupts absolutely so no even if its tempting no way
I feel the initial response that Krush had to his own question was rather disturbing.
However, I granted Niles the title of being my Master and I, his pet. It works for -us- because it's based souly out of love first. Even though he -does- hold the title however, I find myself more in control when it comes to a certain, realistic goals and visions we share.
SO, there is my rather long-winded answer that slavery is a 2-way street of sorts, and it depends on the 'contract' of sorts between the Dom and sub.
they may have the advantage of day roaming,but we could lock them up or even have them in a building during day and have vampires switch off in the day to keep watch inside buildings. think about it!
no imagine it was the other way around think Salem witch trials imagine that to us
I think the idea is absolutley ridicoulous. What gives any creature the right to hold another against their will.
I agree with Tonya and Chaos....the idea is pretty nutty. Nothing good ever came out of the slave thing in general. Why demoralize someone like that?
I don't think so. I've never really believed in the concept, i think we should not befriend them, but not treat them as slaves. just use them for food, and blood bonds (if you're like that) otherwise humans are merely fellow inhabitants on this planet.
unless its consensual ;) thats okay i think..but as far as being held against your will i disagree with that!
why not show them what they do? they wiould kill us or inslave us the first chance they got! or at least most of them would.
humans fear what they can not comprehand. they fear what they do not understand!
just because humans in general fear what we do not understand doesnt mean that we should be enslaved. I dont' believe vampires should be enslaved either. I agree to the extent that vampired would be persecuted if they all came out at once......maybe it would have to be a process with alot of learning involved or something..*shrug*
