We should strive for Equal Opportunity, not forced government attempts at equal outcome. This is why all Affirmative Action should be abolished, as it is Unconstitutional.
If we strived for equal opportunity then everyone should have their personal lobbyists along with a million dollars to shower politicians with.

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought the 3 simple questions were on the intellectual level of a 6 year old.
Should I rephrase them for you? How about I draw a picture?


Why do you want equal outcomes for all? There has to be a reason? Is it hard to give one? Are you being dishonest with us and yourself?

Do you agree, with the demographic box, equal outcomes has placed you into?
Just wondering?
What even do you mean by demographic box?

I already demonstrated that I have an external locus of control. Box, no box, put'down, discriminated against...it is what it is and I'm going to do whatever I have to do to take care of things. I'm sure as hell not looking to Obama or Trump to save me. I'm sure as hell not going to point the finger at the poor and cry about things because actually, I'm pretty charmed.

And, pretty much everyone has told you that they, in fact, don't because they realize that would be an impossible illusion.

Instead of hearing that and trying to understand it, you claimed they were "triggered."

Those politicians want equal outcome? What do they gain by that?

Are you counting "just wondering" as a question simply because you but a ? behind it?

Are there examples of people wanting equal outcome? I'm curious what the questions are based on.

mathematical it is just not possible, its like the election being held by hollywood script writers, build a conflict, raise the the univalent reaction, and then at the last moment, let our hero scrape by a minimal lead. the term hero apply to nobody on pertaineral.

so yes I feel our elections are corrupt and not with russia help but by those on the hill. Its already decided who wins.

think about that, what if those on the hill wanted donnie over hillary before the vote, and rigged it that way.

so on the equal outcome, is anything in life really equal
Excellent Post and agree whole heartedly.
If you follow the media circus between the right and the left along with the name calling, it might appear they are all different.

If you instead look at our foriegn policy with countries and the military industrial complex, along with the influence the finance industry has in DC along with the number of corporate and banking lobbyists, you will see they are all the same.

He's insulting himself. I personally try not to talk down to people because I screw up too. He doesn't even know how many questions he asked which makes what he said to you delightfully sublime just like 3 wolves claimed mind reading skills while calling people crazy. What a hot spectacular mess.
