But just because I don't like something certainly doesn't make it immoral, or wrong.
Well what does then? I would of thought not liking something would be a prerequisite of believing it immoral or wrong.

Slavery would be wrong because it is an inefficent use of resources.
An unwilling worker will never perform to the best of their ability and may even go to the length of sabotaging any effort he is put to.
A slave is an unwilling worker as has been pointed out in your own OP and others posts.
Plus there is the added costs of security which is a drain on resources.

We enjoy the technological advantages we have because slavery was not an option and machinery was invented to replace there labour.
If we introduced slavery again the this would be to the detriment of technology. Why build a better tractor when you have a 100 slaves to pull the plows.
