  • You just gave a perfect explanation for why SJW's and socialist go wrong.

    "that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness….”

    Nowhere does this say all men remain equal or that they all get happiness. It states we start out equal and can pursue happiness, not the we remain equal and are guaranteed hapiness.

    In a race, all start at the same point, the fastest man still wins.

    Why is this so difficult to comprehend? The left want to give a head start to certain people and handicap others. That's what's wrong with their philosophy.

    • ^This^

      It's also why communism fails everywhere and only leaves a wake of destruction and tyranny. A garbage man is not equal to a brain surgeon. A truck driver is not equal to a rocket scientist...

      But try explaining that to someone who has a "safe space" to retire to whenever they face the harshness of the real world.

      Let's cower in our room full of stuffed animals, crayons and other stuff children over the age of 7 usually grow out of to pretend the world is this magical rainbowy place full of smiles and chipmunk laughter... It's not and we all know it XD

      What you make out of your life is up to you.

    • I agree with the majority of your statement. Though I think the more we understand about genetics and the role they play in our potential as human beings, the more the idea of "being created equal" falters. When you accept that some people have inherent advantages over others, you can either whine and complain about privilege (SJW route), or you can grow up and accept it (mature route).

      Though no particular person is equal to another, we should all be treated equally under the law. That sort of social contract is how civilizations can be made. Those laws over centuries become morals and form the foundation of conservative thought. It is by far the better ideology when it comes to dealing with reality.

      • You still don't comprehend the quote unfortunately. I'm not sure where language fails you but it's a shame.

        Your reasoning and understanding inevitably leads to the social handcapping of the left.

        • I can't be the first to have ever told you this, but you're a remarkably unlikeable person.

          • Well I live alone and have no friends, family or a significant other so no, I wouldn't be shocked.

            That's still a remarkably mean thing to say to someone, simply for pointing out you don't comprehend what a compound sentence is.

            You're unpleasant. Good day madame.
