Every human being is not equally worthy.(IMO).
« on: July 17, 2001, 09:10:42 AM »
Every person in Sweden learns from a very early age that everyone is equally worthy.
Nobody says anything against it.
That is very odd, how can we say that everyone is equally worthy?
I look at the TV-news and see that today 2300 people died in Africa, And I dont even care.
When we had this terrible accident in Ghothenburg when 63 young people died because of a fire at a disco I cried my eyes out.
I have 3 small girls that is more worthy than anything, I would give up anything for them.
If I had to choose between saving one of my daughters life and 6000 peoples life in India, I would have choosen my daughter. I dont think everyone is equally worthy.
Why do people keep saying that everyone is equally worthy when that is obviously not true?

of course you would choose and cry over people you know. But all people are equal in terms of individuality and freedom in America, which is why I love it.

To quote Mr. Spock of Star Trek "The good of the many, outweigh the good of the one."

It\'s natural to have personal preferences, but when the entire population of the Earth is considered, The Vulcan "proverb" holds true.

This issue is one of the main reasons why America still has debates between Liberal Democrats and Conservative Republicans.

Liberals basically say that everyone should be given an equal opportunity, so help the guys that aren\'t doing too well, and then let them develope their own lives.

While Conservatives basically say "tough luck" you were born with an equal chance, and that\'s all the equal opportunity you\'re gonna get.

I personally don\'t think that we are created genetically equal to one-another.  And selfish gains prohibit true equality among people.

liberal democrats = let\'s give them a free ride without having them work for it (welfare)

conservative republicans = work for your money like the rest of us.

Everyone is equally worthy of a chance. If you blow that chance, per say you rape and murder someone, you are not equally worthy as someone innocent. I don\'t believe you should suffer captical punishment, but I don\'t think you are equally worthy of freedom.

No one is really free. Not even in America. Racism and homophobia still hold alot of people back in America. Even though they are equally worthy.

You\'re analogy Boss is obvious. Of course, you would rather save one of your daughters then a hundred people. That is your daughter! It is perfectly natrual. Anyone in that situation would chose their daughter. Does that make it the best choice? Probably not. A hundred people are more value-able then one person. But, if you love and care for that person, it can distort your view.

Racism is a problem in every country that has the diversity that America has. But within the last 50 years, great gains have been made to give freedom and a chance to people of all races and religion.

The sad thing, is that in many of the southern state the KKK still survive to this day and thrive. They are a hate group that run around and blame blacks , Jews, and Catholics on all of the worlds problems. For the most part, and through the government, America is free.

part of our freedom is to be racist or not racist though, as we pleased, it is sad, but that is part of freedom.

IMO everyone human is equal. The reason you care more about your daughter than 6000 people is India is because shes your daughter, naturally you\'re going to care more about her. S
ame goes for all those people in India who died, their families care more about them than your daughter, because they\'re their relatives.

Hmm, What i have understand, Black people have it not to easy in states like Mississipi and others, and you say that every American is equally worthy? It does not make any sence.
The thing is that I just wonder why we keep saying that everyone is equally worthy when we do not act or belive so?

The problem with this is, to say everyone is equal and TRULY believe it - you would have to deattach yourself emotionally from everyone. View everyone as the same. It is impossible to do. You view your daughters as better then everyone. Thats perfectly normal. But, if you could step back and not view them as your daughters. You would see, that they are the equal of everyone else. Just human  life. Nothing more. Nothing less.
