What is the worlds biggest problem and why? Mark 2

Is true equality attainable or in fact desirable?

What is the worlds biggest problem and why?

Population.  As there are little controls.  

(Don't know if I was meant to stay with equality)

( Thank you poddster for volunteering, will keep you posted)

Para you are the one who is pointing the finger at groups, you may have noticed that I have not mentioned any person or group of people. I refer to all people who are not prepared to put effort into what they demand and consider as their right.

I say we should all embrace our differences that is what makes us individuals instead of being a homogenous mass of unthinking sheepies.

That's good and that's great. I agree equality gives us the right to choose to do things if we want. Inequality says that certain groups must comply within certain restrictions and no express their freedom of choice. So in this regard I agree with you.

[poddster]

Para there are certain restraints and constraints placed on all societies worldwide, its called the law of the land 🙂

Ok I'm not sure now if you are talking about personal achievement vs sense of privilege or social equity LOL. Eg - someone who strives for success and gets it or someone who just expects it or that some people will simply never get that success no matter how hard they try because of their race religion sexual orientation disability etc.

...... some people will simply never get that success no matter how hard they try because of their race religion sexual orientation disability etc.

In most of those situations they have a choice, excepting disability.

Life is a constant stream of choices from second to second.

Often you have to compromise between what you need/want and and what you have and would like to keep.

The saying about wanting a cake and eating it comes to mind

[para-gone]

True. If you have the options available and just expect something then you can't cry foul. But society must offer a slice of the cake to everyone, even if some refuse to share it. lol

[poddster]

That is being done as we speak. There are all manner of laws pertaining to equal rights

what is the point of this thread ?

[poddster]

Reading with comprehension might be a good place to start 🙂

[lakeland27]

there's nothing of substance here, just fanciful justification of a point of view. its also a repeat.
