becuz each and everyone is born with different parents, intellect, looks, beliefs, upbringing, and environment. and that s why we have to be more tolerant of one another because being different does not mean we are not equal.

(this is a history lesson, but has a valid point)A week or so Ago I was reading about U.S. History (specifically the beginning of colonization). Most of the countries that colonized (read: all except the British) the U.S. did so specifically to find profit from exploiting the resources.However, in England and the time, economic conditions were horrible, and chances are if you weren't born into a wealthy family, the chance would never come. So when England started to colonize the New World, the people who came here didn't come here just to exploit the resources. They came here to live. Land, in England, was a status symbol that few people had. That mindset however carried over into the colonies. Everyone who could (which ended up being most) tried to get their hands on a piece of land. So many people ended up with land that it upset the power balance between owner and worker. With everyone owning their own land, nobody had anyone to work for them. There was a shortage of labor. So what happened? the slave trade.

To make a long story short, because life was so equal, nobody was willing to work for another, and the people had to actually create a new class of workers in order to maintain the natural labor/power balance.

Because all humans are not equally willed or moral.

Even in nations like the US, all people have the same oppotunity, but many will not even finish high school, becaue of no desire, so they are not equal since they don't put the effort into it,

Awesome question. Let's say that when we were born, we were all given $10,000. Some would choose to take that money and sow seeds of success, create the world of their dreams. Some would take that money, and spend it. Some would complain that they didn't get more money because they could have gotten a house. If we focus on what we gifts we have been blessed with, be grateful, and use our gifts, our lives will be enriched in happiness. If we instead focus on getting what others have that we don't have, we will always be searching and trying to fill a void that is eternally growing.

If we were all equally privileged, there would be no competition, no reason for people to try to do better, no creative struggle.

Every person in the world is privileged over someone else in some way.

For example: I have lots of real estate, but I treat people with a whole lot more respect than Donald Trump. That is my privilege over him. He may have billions in real estate, but I value my relationships more than he does.

Because not all humans are equal in privilege. Work for justice, so they can be equal before law.

Who would clean the streets, pick up the trash, sloter animals and do all the other things you don't like to?

Somethime its good that some have more privileges, e.g. children, older, sick. But we live in a world that does not allow equal privileges.

Each person makes choices in their life that affect their life style. These choices regarding education, use of illegal drugs, sexual practices, illegal activity, and marriage will have positive or negative effects depending on the choices made. Many will argue that the environment during the early years will decide the future lifestyle. Many from very poor beginnings have made good choices and live very well and many from very rich beginnings end up in prison. It depends on the choices you make from an early age.

We arent created equal.

Also if everyone was equally privileged then no-one would be considered privileged, as there would be nothing to compare it to.

Our spirits are, and that is the only survival tool that beats the heart of heaven. What we experience here, keeps the memory of life flowing, thus allowing the universe,god, ourself, to live.
