Every human being is not equally worthy.(IMO).

The thing is that I can still make a choise of the most worthy. I would propably chosen the best loking women in the crowd.

Just to clear up steriotypes.  I live in Georgia.  I haven\'t heard about any KKK activity in a long time (about a year, but those church burnings a year ago turned out to not be members of the KKK, but just some jerks with nothing better to do, so really it\'s been longer than that).

And I have to say that minorities are growing r=greatly in number and holding top positions in businesses around here.

I\'m not saying that Georgia is cleansed of racists, but it\'s not as bad as the television makes it seem.

Like LIC said, everyone is worthy of a chance. \'Nuff said. That\'s what\'s meant by the saying of" everyone is equally worthy". It\'s not very difficult to understand. Worthy of what? Worthy of a chance. That\'s how I see this. Though I am getting confused myself here... :sconf:

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.

So your saying the black people down there aren\'t equally worthy?

*cough* racist *cough*

What have they\'ve done wrong? It\'s those damn white people who aren\'t equally worthy.

But I don\'t think everyone is equal. Hence, I\'m more valuable than a bum on the road, but he\'s still equally worthy of a chance.

Bah, this is getting too confusing for me. Everyone is equal...everyone is not eqaul... No one is equally worthy of anything than the next person. Let\'s just leave it at that.

*stops writing before brain explodes*

Right now I just want to point out that in California, WHITE PEOPLE are the minority...seriously. Now I\'m off on a mystical journey to relocate my intelligence/sanity.

It won\'t be long until the entire nation has a white minority.  Just 10-or-so years I think.

I don´t understand one word of this! Go get some sleep Jumpman.

Dude that was slaverly and it was like 150 years ago.

All people are equal, but your emotions won\'t be shared equally - it\'s human nature. Nobody can love every human being equally much. If we believe in the message of the Bible, we believe that Jesus could.

You care more about your daughter, than those humans in india, as you have emotions towards your daughter. Love is a feeling wich can\'t even be compared with unknowness.  To you, the 6000 people in india are numbers, names on a list perhaps, but your daughter to you is a living being with emotions and feelings towards you.

It would be completely natural thing to do, your choice, bossie, but as a human being you\'d blame yourself for the death of those 6000 people for the rest of your life, deny them now or not.

He\'s right.
I live in California (LA to be exact) and there are only like 3 white guys in my class, most of the people are asian. Same applies for most of the school.
But you know what? I don\'t give a d4mn. I\'m not racist, and like I said, everyone is equal IMO. Most of my friends are either Filipino or Korean.

And yeah, I\'m white. And if you don\'t like that then blow me a$$hole. :rpissed: (not directed at you Jumpman, just at racist scum in general)

Yeah this thread has became messed up with Bossieman quoting me before i\'d had posted (according to the thread order).

Anyway this is tricky one. Its obvious that Bossieman prefers his daughters over say a stranger he has never met. No need to state the obvious.

It depends what you mean by the words equal. Some people are born with "problems". Prehaps being deformed in someway. This no doubt will hinder them in some form of life, maybe learning might be more of a challenge, hindering their education. So them people don\'t unfortunatly have the same equal chance as we have, since having the ability to read and write is important to be successful in this world.

However when I first read the post I read it as though Bossieman ment that some people are better and more deserving than others. This I think is wrong. Everyone should have the same equal rights in this world. Everyone should be allowed to have freedom of speech etc. No one is better than anyone else. In a sense its what racism is about, for example people saying that white people are better than black people or visa versa because of skin colour, well I don\'t agree with any of it. I don\'t have a racist bone in my body and therefore feel that we are all equally deserving and that no one should be treated worse than anyone else.

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

correction:

liberal democrats: let\'s act like we give a damn about equality and take oodles of money to pass laws for the entertainment industry.

conservative: let\'s act like we give a damn about equality and take oodles of money to pass laws for big business.

Either way you look at it they are all corrupt.

Because he is homeless he is less valuable to society? There are some VERY intelligent people living on the street not to mention the war veterans. What have you contributed to society that makes you more valuable than someone else?

I\'m not trying to start an argument. I\'m just trying to understand your train of though.

No one is equal. Because all human beings are unique in our own way, we can never be equal. We will always have certain attachments (or detachments) that will skew our opinions on things. Why do those 2300 dead Africans not bother you as much? They\'re halfway around the world. You don\'t know them, you never saw them, you never were around anyone like them. You really cannot sympathize with them because, simply, you are too detached. Your daughters on the other hand, you have been very involved with their entire lives since the day they were born. They are very close to you every second of your life. You have extreme attraction to them, because if you lost a daughter, that loss would make itself obvious for the rest of your life. You would always know someone you know very intimately is no longer around. Whereas, the Africans, you never saw them in the first place, so you don\'t notice they\'re gone. It\'s nearly impossible to detach yourself completely from a child or familty member.

Doctors have it worst, I imagine. They have to know their patients very well to treat them properly, and there will be times when they lose a patient in surgery. Doctors have to be close to a patient and at the same time develop an incredible detatchment from them (if they are in a risky sugical field), because if a doctor was attached to too many people that he sees die, he would go insane.

The fact that u care more bout the people in Gothenburg than in Africa only proves that every human being is not equally worthy to YOU. But it\'s only good that we don\'t feel the same way about everyone. It would be too much to bear.

Those people who die in Africa also have someone who\'s gonna mourn over them, to whom they are the most important person in the world.

Yeah, what she said:)

I do know this, but why do we keep on saying that everyone is equally worthy? We dont act or belive it in anywaw, but when I ask people the just say, of course everyone is equally worthy.

Ok, lets put it this way, of the 100 fasters persons on this planet (100m) 95 of them are black.
Could you even imagine 3000 meter steepleachasing and a white man win? Never gona happen, the etiopian and Nigeria people always wins this. 10 000 meters too, is it wrong to say that black people are superior white in running?
