When you say everyone has the "right" to...

When you say everyone has the "right" to college and the "right" to welfare because they "can't work" and the "right" to whatever they want because they feel entitled to it Just remember that sure everyone [u][i][b]created[/b][/i][/u] equal, that means at the start of the race everyone is equal but as life goes on the party separates and some become higher and some become lower. If you don't want this to happen to you, you have to get up and change the way things are for you, it may be hard and it may seem impossible but just remember George Washington - almost died of a disease, was a simple farmer from Virginia Booker T. Washington - Slave Abraham Lincoln - grew up in a small house and had to struggle just to read Hitler - was rejected from an art school, mocked all his life The French people of the revolution - simple commoner who couldn't amount to anything serious Martin Luther - a stutterer and anxious man All these people (yes some may have been bad) were almost worthless and they rose up and changed they world to what they wanted, all it takes is the power of one person to change the course of history forever, so next time you think that you're just a kid from bad part of town and can't do anything and just need someone to carry you through life will your next welfare check, I want you to realize that you can stand up, you can make a difference and you can conquer all

        • I concur. Seeing people like you with the ability to truly see and digest a thought or idea brings me great hope for society. I thank you for refreshing this weary heart.

          • Equality means equal opportunity. A fair chance. When that meaning gets redefined as equal outcome is where you run into problems. Not everybody who studies medicine deserves to be a brain surgeon. Not everybody who attends flight school deserves to be an astronaut. A student who studies hard and aces tests deserves to be on the honor roll. Put the student who blew off studying to party and did poorly on tests on the honor roll and it loses its value. Egalitarianism isn't Communism, socialism or any kind of Marxism.

                        • Welfare for those of who cant work and wont work are different. Before my uncle died of stage 4 lung cancer, He had a stroke. Lost 60% of his brain. Couldn't move left side of his body. And only could move parts of his head and right arm and torso. Took him almost 2 years to get disability. Now i work in a hospital. A 21 year old came in. Had disability. Seemed fine. I straight asked him what his disability was. He stated he was a alcoholic. That is all.

                          • Kid born into royalty is equal with a kid born in Africa, yea dude. This is the most exaggerated situation but it still has meaning. Not everyone is born equal nor are most equal throughout their lives to some others. It is true that enough work can get places but life is to short and there isn't enough time to work your way up super high unless you get lucky. Where you are born plays a huge part in this. It is the ground work for your future. In my opinion no one is born equal, where you start is based on where your parents are at that point in your life.

                            • It's easier to take up a moral position about this kind of thing. "Human rights," like the human right to a home, or healthcare, or education, are just empty promises from the state. The simple fact is that these things need to be provided by other people. If the state promises you a right to a home, then it then has to violate somebody else's property rights by coercing them into building/funding that home. Human rights are a contradiction. Natural rights are your only rights. Marxism has poisoned the ideological well, in a way. There's this prevailing idea that we somehow live in post-scarcity world, and that we can employ force to shift resources around and end social ills. That isn't the case. Not only does it fail spectacularly, but it's immoral in the first place. Everything in this world must be worked for. That is a fundamental truth. You don't necessarily have to work to get it (charity can morally exist, and it isn't worked for), but resources come from somewhere. If a man is starving, we can very well employ force to secure some bread from someone else. However, let's remove everybody else from society. Nobody else is around to produce bread. We can no longer use force to secure an outcome. In order to survive, that man would have to work. The sooner we realize that it's immoral to initiate force against other people and their property, the sooner we can start alleviating these social ills legitimately.

                                • Why is it always asumed that people want to actually have a life? In my 38 years on the shit hole of a planet not a single one of its filthy money grabbing inhabitants has shown me why we deserve anything at all. Humans disgust me on a level that makes me want to puke.
