are we all equal?

Question

The belief that we are all equal is moronic equal means the same as and how can you be the same and different. If we were all equal then you are saying you are the same as child molester murderers and other vile forms of humanity i am superior to many and find the idea we are all equal retarted.. There are many afraid of the truth if you say you think there are differences you are called racist etc but i ask you to use logic are all makes of cars equal is not a ferrari better than a ford so using the same logic just because we are people difference automatically makes some better than others

Answer 1

I have no equal.

Answer 2

How do you mean you are superior? In what way? Do you mean that if you can beat someone up, are smarter than them,have more money and generally consider yourself better than them then you are superior? Do you mean you are morally superior? Because child-molesters and murderers aren't too concerned with morality.

This is all subjective. I mean by that everyone can go around thinking that they are best. As far as I can tell you are posing this question about individuals and its not some eugenic argument about racial superiority or anything. You're saying that you feel you are better than some other people.

If that's the case feel free to feel superior. Just don't be surprised if not everyone agrees with you or some people laugh at you.

And the Ferrari/Ford thing is an extremely pat analogy. What the hell use would a Ferrari be in an off-road environment? Or for transporting a group of people? You need to be able to distinguish between equality and diversity - just because people are not the same doesn't make them inferior

Answer 3

Yes and no. In the most basic of senses -- that we are alive human beings -- yes we are equal. And there it ends.

People do things to make themselves unequal to others. These things can be intentional or otherwise, but they all add up to making one 'better' or 'worse' than whatever is considered average or normal.

People can also posess certain characteristics they can't control, such as beautiful looks or a mental disability, and these things too will also figure into the equation. Like or lump.

However people can have equal rights in terms of civil law. Which is a right and fair construct of society that indicates each person holds equal value as a member of society. But that's not the same thing as saying every individual is equal in a personal sense -- clearly that'd be untrue.

Answer 4

We cant possibly all be equal in every way. If we are normal law abiding citizens we are equal under the law and entitled to the same rights but if we are not then some of those rights can be lawfully taken away.

Some unfortunates are not "equal" because they are not very intelligent through no fault of theirs.

Others are not "equal" because they are sick.

Unfortunately equality depends on what you are, who you are and where you are and not least how wealthy you are.

Answer 5

We are all equal in the sense that we are all human beings, but we are individuals and should be treated that way. Stereotypes like women are gentel in nature and men are more masculine exist. You can not deny there is a difference but both are equally valid and important. Religion too. Just because a particular religion isn't for you, you it might be for others.

Answer 6

I do believe that the context in which you are using the word equal is in a judgemental way.
Equality among people refers only to their being equal in the way laws, rights and opportunities apply to them in any particular country.
It by no way implies that we must all be, by right , of equal intelligence, speed, fitness or ability to reason.
When people are accused of racism it is often because they wrongly think one race, often their own, is in some way more able than another.
As with cars some people have by design higher abilities than others,being able to move faster or carry heavier loads. For example there are outstanding sportspeople, outstanding mathematicians and outstanding idiots from all races, tribes and nationalities.
As for logic your question displays none.

Answer 7

I think communism is a good idea, but very unrealistic. Communism is the idea that everyone is equal in different ways, like, every doctor is equal to other doctors, every sales person is equal to other sales people, etc... but great question! I totally agree.

Answer 8

No one is better than anyone.....some people just choose to do the wrong things that makes them different! But we all have hearts, blood, and bones and many other things that make up a human body! The same for cars........they all have engines to run..........

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

My friend, we are all equal. We all have the same basic needs in order to continue living. And the most important ! Even though life is sometimes unfair, nature is fair in one thing. Death. It's the same destiny for all of us. Either for kings or servants. For rich or poor. For black or white people. For beautiful or ugly. For famous or common people.

Answer 11

HELL NO! This is just a myth pushed down our throats by the "politically correct" leftist crowd! Even a child knows this to be true. If we are all equal, why are some countries desirable to live in (U.S.) and others not so desirable (any country in Africa) ??????
