Equlity. Good thing or not?

[poddster]

This is a simple poll (or is it );-)B-)]:)

The question is:-

Should all people be equal?

Give ita bit of thought before you answer.

If you answer Yes

Why did you answer in the affirmative?

Describe the :"equal" person that everyone should modeled on

If you answer No

Why did you answer in he negative?

[freakiness]

Voted yes - the model would be the 18-64 year heterosexual Caucasian male born to wealth with no disabilities or known dubious background etc 

You can be sure of one thing, they won't be so hetero for long.

[para-gone]

They are neither too young nor too old  - they would both have opportunities that others would not...

[poddster]

I voted equal....... in the eyes of the law i.e.

Gill doesn't that amount to conditional equality?

Is it ok to have inequality in other matters besides "in the eyes of the law"?

[para-gone]

You can be sure of one thing, they won't be so hetero for long.

LOL why is that?

[poddster]

in what context, sport.   

in/ability to type, per'aps      B-)  

I note that you have not graced us with your wisdom yet.

If there was equality there would be no need for opertunities everyone would be equal.

Opertunities are only sought  if a person wants to be unequal and individualistic

[para-gone]

That's why I voted YES - because there should be. Schooling, medical, law, work etc. Even in my scenario you could throw in "looks" as I'm sure there would be some preference with that too LOL

What person would you like to be equal to LL?

And ahould EVERY person be equal to that person?

i don't have a specific person i'd like to be equal to. i don't follow that reasoning at all.. we should endeavour/ strive to rid the place of disadvantage/ injustice. not 'aspire' to be someone else.

[poddster]

Ummm.... read the opening post LL

Should all people be equal?

And if you have answered Yes, then you have agreed that everyone should be the same.

My question to you is who would you like to be the same as?

Perhaps you are thinking along the lines that everyone should be like you 🙂

The thing is that inequality exists were some think that there is an 'ideal human' 

What selfish people want the same opportunities as say ..a blind person ?

Do you they get to take their dog everywhere including to work ?

Do you feel disadvantaged because you can't do the same ?

Do you really want what they are having .....ALL of it ?
