"a good many of the slaves were willing"
Slavery- Noun- the state of being under the control of another person.
The dictionary disagrees buddy.

Indentured servitude and slavery are NOT the same thing, jerk-off. One can lead to another, but not the same.

There is a slight difference between a slave and an indentured servant.

Not only were some of the slaves willing, but many of them were well paid with great benefit packages. These slaves were called "employees".

And by "a good many" he means to say 0.0000001% of slaves, ever.
Any other atrocities you'd like to try to justify, or is that it?

These sorts of people are called indentured servants.
As to why the Bible says "slave", I don't know. Perhaps there isn't a phrase in Hebrew for "indentured servant", or the phrase hadn't been invented when the Bible was first translated into English.
I'm not suggesting that Badfish is trying to use this to justify actual slavery, but there are many that would, and his comment is incredibly naive.
