What is the purpose of this article? People still carry things everywhere in the world, not just Sumer and the third world. Porters are available at any airport or good hotel. And are we supposed toi beleive women were enslaved only to carry things in Sumer? --rmhermenissue
- Like any occupation, this one has a history that is worth examining more closely. At the moment it is barely a stub, so your reaction is understandable, but one issue this article should some day explore is that being a porter is not merely a matter of carrying a burden. I intend to add a section dealing with the fascinating history of Pre-Meiji porters in Japan. But all in good time... Pinkville 00:58, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Yes, such is the life of a porter, carrying things from place to place. Why should you believe women were only enslaved to be porters? I reccomend you read Sumer, enslavement as a porter was only one of many tasks that Sumerian women were occupied with.
This page will one day contain information on porters throughout the world and all of history! If you'd like something to do you should expand the article in relation to porters & the Ho Chi Minh trail! Lir 15:01 Oct 28, 2002 (UTC)
