Equal as far as human rights & opoortunities. We're not talking about looks.

In some ways yes and others no.
Are we equal in :
Size, no. Age, no. Awareness, no. Wealth, monitary or spiritual, no. Do we all have an equal opportunity to aspire to our dreams, supposedly yes. But do we really? Not always. Some people have a head start. Others have insurmountable obstacles to overcome.
The equality of all comes from belief and choice. We all have a right to choose, right or wrong, good or bad, we all have the choice, where that leads us may be different, so our results or consequences are different, but we all face the same moral choices in life.
We are all as human beings entitled to believe in what we want. No one can stop our thoughts. If we express them, there may be consequences, but we can all think and believe as we choose to.
In these two ways at least we are all equal.
Also the brotherhood of man is an ideal of belief that in God's world, all people have a choice of salvation and everlasting life and that after death we become as one with God in heaven. In this way we all have the same or equal opportunity for the afterlife, if we choose to seek it.
Again, Belief and Choice.

People are not equal. Anyone told you people are equal obviously does not know the suffering of people in some parts of the world where they never have a home, food or even a healthy body to live with. We are the lucky ones to be able to read, write, speak and type all these online...

Equality refers to the 'human being' state: every human being has the same rights and duties of another one, and deserves the same respect as any other one. Cultural or ethnic differences, don't change that state of equality of a human being.
The problem is that too many people (racists) believe to be superior and deny the state of equality among human beings. So....to answer your question: YES, I do believe all individuals are equal, but in facts unfortunately some individuals are vexated and demeant by racists.

No we're not equal. That's a myth. We're not "equal under the law", either. The law makes up for the shortcomings of some people by making them "special" in the eyes of the law.

Do I feel that all people are equal, no. Do I feel that all people should be treated equal, yes. Though we are different we should still be treated equally, fairly, and justly. But the only way that we can achieve any of that is to work together.

Of course all people are equal, as we are made of the same material and we are coming from the same source! Having a different character or appearance doesn't change the specie! Inside we are all the same!

No. The concept that all men are created equal just sounds pretty on paper. Some of us are born into wealth and power and some of us only have a cardboard box to go home to when we leave the hospital.

The principal behind equality is that all humans should have equal rights, as we are all the same species.

We are all different but we should have equal rights.
