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

  • 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.
