they do. certain groups make up new ones and you promote them
no extra rights are essential.. it screws things up. The state and federal govt are up front about that. If you are the owner of a business and want a state or federal contract-you get preferential treatment if youre a minority owned company. If you are an african american applicant to college, you get preferential treatment on admission when admissions are limited. I have posted before about Asian american students who refuse to check the box that they are asian because it reduces their admittance chances. so THAT minority group is not given the same status as other minority groups. Pitting groups against one another and doling out favors to one group at the expense of another. evil, maph

which one do you recommend? the kids are here for christmas and we need a good movie tonight. excellent choice
merry christmas

actually, have I said that I HATE Monopoly? I like the game Cashflow much better. here's a link to play online

The point IS... life is what you make of it...everyone has there own shit in the closet that they have to over come...sometimes people have to overcome a rich childhood even... there are no guarantees in life and THAT is what you think making everything 'fair' and 'equal' will accomplish. It won't. It will steal from others' ability to succeed on their own merit... If you want to believe life is like a game of slanted monopoly you go right ahead.... but I won't play slanted, and I get to be the shoe, and I will kick your ass and not cheat while I do it.

aarrrggghhh. why would anyone play the game in the first place if they started off with less money? WHO decides who gets more or less to start the game? It's like saying before the game begins-one person gets to pick the winner. no one would play unless these were all children and one child was the bully.

actually it is not just an innocuous figure of speech. It is an insidious concept and plan to separate individuals into groups-force groups to pander for taking from other groups or pander for keeping what is theirs. IT is only accomplished by force. It is very easy and heady power to have the control of choosing which groups should take and which groups get to keep. It completely changes the real meaning of the word fair. It is a dangerous political concept that should be called stealing. It is immoral and the opposite of productive and makes government evil.

try not to look at her.

I just popped back in myself.
Good to see you back, kw.

kh is still staring at me.... is she staring at you too??

I JUST asked myself that. You and others are scarce these days! :( Maybe I'll be scarce to for a while...this brow beating is exhausting...it used to be funner in here :( I'm going to bed and dreaming of sugar plums and fair equal portions of stolen porridge.)

Because that defeats the whole purpose of the GAME. It's a GAME with rules. If I beat you 4 times in a row...are you going to cry that that's not faaaaair and punch me and steal my fake money?

Christ almighty, what has happened to the Gulch !

I know I brought up Anthem... I was being a smart ass...that the book I was suggesting you write has already been written and maybe you should read it, ye who's in favor of all things equal and fair.
Should a murder have the same rights as the average individual? "everyone should have the same rights" that's what you just said.
I'm not going down Drury lane with you again.

It was earned by someone and that someone has a right to choose who gets it if he/she dies. It's their choice...it's their money. If someone is willed money then the person who left it to them felt they deserved it, so in that sense they earned it. People get written into and out of wills all the time.
Do you think someone else has a right to someone's money when they die...it's suddenly up for grabs? And what's the beef with people inheriting money?...it doesn't make it any less THEIRS just because it was left to them. That money WAS earned...it didn't grow on a tree and it wasn't taken from someone else against their will..(ha..their will.) "Distribution of wealth" is NOT a figure of speech...is it a leftist crafted, feel good, guilt inducing phrase to make it sound like less than theft and some how fair for all. barf.

And Rand beat you to Anthem. Perhaps you should read it...and Glenn Beck's book too. It's shows the horrible outcomes of making everything equal for everyone... Unintended Consequences. (ha..another excellent book title... although I think the consequences are intended.)
