Why not? You said truth is based on use and context.
Right. And?

So I can keep slaves if truth is based on use and context.
What do those words mean to you?
Yakuda

Nothing because you didnt explain what you meant by them and truth isnt the same as morals.
"Context" means a social or political environment. So slavery is illegal, therefore you cannot have slaves.

why is it illegal? Simply because people dont like it? Thats asinine
That's law. The basis for any society.

Thats not the question here morals are. Youre suggesting that if enough people agreed thate slavery okie dokie it could be legal and would be perfectly ok to engage in.
That is the history of our country.

Irrelevant to the question. Was slavery moral when it was legal?
I do not find the question relavent.

LOL i bet you dont but according to what you've said, the only answer to that question which would maintain any intellectual integrity you might have would be "Yes".
