Should all things always be evil?

I think life would be very stagnant if all things were equal.

What I mean is that it's the inequalities in life that encourage us to strive for something better.

being deep fail is not equal.

This isn't equal either.

I think you should strive for something better.

Yeah...just like in Australia! (not)

My thoughts exactly because we're sooooooooooooooo egalitarian and everyone gets a fair go all the time.

Aliantha 06-06-2010 06:01 AM

Uhuh...now just wait a sec while I make my leg a bit more comfy. It's a bit sore from being pulled too much.

casimendocina 06-06-2010 08:37 AM

Really now, only republicans ask this question. It comes off as whiny.

No. We are by our nature unequal. Some excel, some fail, and most putter around in the middle. Education, particularly in the early grades, has suffered ever since they started teaching to the lowest common denominator, rather than stratifying classes/groups and teaching each group to the highest level of their ability, and working to push past that.

I keep thinking of Vonnegut and the weights, the clunky shoes, and the noiseboxes.
