What do you consider the greatest social injustice in America today?

Answer 1

That men would rather sign up to be in the military and all its branches rather than work for NASA. I guess it's the macho thing to do, or they're falling right into a trap, from which we'll never be able to extricate ourselves. Another one bites the dust...and the galaxy waits...and waits.

Unless there is a Draft, no one is forcing anyone to go to war. People sign up of their own accord, whether for patriotic reasons, or whether they have this killer instinct in them, but they are not being forcibly drafted into a war, they choose to sign up for the military instead of NASA, for example.

Answer 2

Africa is the birthplace of ALL civilization. the Moors, and historic Egyptians have been black. returned sorry to show you how to already know. once you're making a misinformed assertion like this you lose all respectability. The Moors weren't black, they have been center jap. They got here from north africa to spain, yet they have been arabians who had extra Islam around the north of africa. Egyptians at the instant are not black! Egyptians that we see as we talk are a mixture of all the cultures that have conquered the section over the final 3000 years. most of the Pharaohs that all of us understand from history are Greek, having taken ability after Alexander took over the section. we've colour artwork on the partitions of tombs from in the past that and the Egyptians did no longer depict themselves as returned at that element, extra of a brown colour like all the different peoples of the jap Mediterranean on the time. ultimately, africa isn't the birthplace of civilization! It replaced into have been the human race began yet they did no longer get civilized till they have been given to the tremendous river valleys of the Nile, Tigris, Indus & Yangtze.

Answer 3

The inequality between the wealthy and unfortunate. The lack of support given to the hardworking non-english speaking emigres. The blacks in the southern states treated as a sub-species. The legal system which can be bought if wealthy enough, the political systems which above all else protects those in office, when the power they wield for the good of it's people is used against them, the lack of gun control. Take your pick. You are still a great country though

Answer 4

The towing and impounding of vehicles.
It is nothing less than legalized GRAND THEFT by local and state governments!
For most families, their vehicle(s) represent the second largest expense in their budget - right after housing.
The ownership and usage of a personal transportation device is, in most cases, an essential component of a decent quality of life in today's society. Yet, I have seen the statement many times in state drivers' manuals that driving a car is deemed a "priviledge" not a "right". It is a "priviledge" we have to buy and pay-for from the state governments throughout America.
While it may be a "priviledge" and not a "right" in most - if not ALL - states, it is certainly a NECESSITY for most households.
Yet if you park it in the wrong place or fail to pay the state enough for this "priviledge", they can take it from you and hold it for several hundred dollars in court fines, towing fees and storage fees which amount to nothing more than legalized ransom!

Several years ago, when I was living and working in Las Vegas, one of my fellow employees had his car stolen. The police apprehended the thief and recovered the car, but notified the rightful owner in the middle of the night when he could not get to where it was, to get it home. With the car gone in the first place, he had to rely on public transportation that did not run at that hour of the night.
By the time he was able to go to retreive his car, it had been towed and the towing company was already charging storage which he couldn't pay till his next payday - four days away. By the time that payday came around, the storage had built up till it took almost his entire paycheck to get his OWN car back. He had not even committed any offense - the car had been originally Stolen from HIM!
In my opinion, he was robbed TWICE! Once by the original thief and then again by the city of Las Vegas!
The mere idea that something that takes so much hard-earned money to purchase, and is needed so badly to maintain an acceptable standard of living, can be taken away and a family can be so financially crippled so easily in this way is unconscionable!

Of course safe-driving laws are necessary to lessen accidents, but the huge glut of unnecessary traffic laws in most states designed to do nothing more than fill the state's pockets at the motorist's expense are atrocious!

THINK about it! Remember your American history from school? If the British had imposed similar restrictions on the ownership and usage of horses and carriages, they would be prominently listed in those history books among the causes for the American Revolution!

Answer 5

The fact that people with disabilities (54 million citizens of this country) are still legally denied equality. I know about the Americans with Disabilities Act--but it is a failed promise--to the point of being a farce.

Here's a few examples of what I mean:
>Children with disabilities are often denied high school diplomas upon completing high sschool
>Employers who systematically ciscriminate against people with disabilities do so legally--and cannot be sued for damages even when discrimination in an individual case is proed in court
>it is still legal to involuntarily sterilize some persons with disabilities
>courts still allow people like "Dr. Dworkin" to get away with murder--or give them a slap on the wrist--as long as the victim is disabled and they claim it was "euthanasia."

I could list a dozen more problems--and dozens of examples of each.

And what is the public attitude? They chear and give an Oscar to a known anti-disability bigot like Clint Eastwood for making "Million Dollar Baby"--a film that not only sterotypes and degrades people with disabilities, but promotes murdering them to get them out of the way.

Answer 6

That the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
