It is obvious that some do not have a clue about what you are asking. Therefore, all I can say is that some on here have the mentality that if they can't dazzle you with brilliance, then they will baffle you with bull****!!

It seems to me that a great many people are talking about social justice without really knowing what the term means. Just to make sure you know what it means, here is a link to the Wikpedia definition for "social justice";
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_justice
Now that you KNOW what it means, you can argue for or against much more credibly and knowledgeably.
Personally, I think true social justice would be a good thing, IF it could be achieved. That it will ever be achieved is highly unlikely simply because there are far too many people, both in finance and in government, who have a vested interest in making sure that society remains unjust.
I hope this clears the matter up for you.

I believe in social justice as a way to make a better world, but I don't believe that there will ever be complete social justice...

I don't know.
Social justice is used by the left in the same way that political correctness is used by the right. I'm not sure that anybody really knows what either mean.
If you're asking whether I believe that everybody should equal rights and access to the necessities of life, then yes, I believe in social justice.
But if you're asking if I believe in an ill-defined catch-phrase, then the answer is no.

No, it is an oxymoron. Justice is a thing that can only be experienced by individuals. If an individual is culpable for a crime, it is justice that he be punished for it, for instance. It is /not/ justice that others of the same demographic be punished for it, as well as, or instead of the guilty party - but that is /exactly/ the sort of thing that 'social justice' espouses.

Not personally. It is as close to vigilante justice as it comes.
The innocent go to jail, and the guilty walk free.

perfect justice? no, because guilty people will always be let go, and innocent people always be wrongly convicted
