People Are Entitled To Equal Rights Not Equal Things
People complain about how they have their rights. So they somehow come up with the idea that everyone should have equal things. (Cars, TVs, Homes, Clothes, etc.) What do you think?

I agree, everyone is entitled to equal opportunity, to make what they will of their life. And I've always been a believe in the saying, "You reap what you sow."

Despite this, however, I also acknowledge that, unfortunately, the world is far from an ideal place and so many people in less developed countries have less opportunity than those from richer, developed countries. However, I still believe that "You reap what you sow" applies within all levels, whether rich or poor (though there will, of course, be a difference between the economic potential).

Of course, absolutely everyone is entitled to the same basic rights, in terms of human rights, etc. Though again, unfortunately, not everyone has these either in the world we live in today.

From the time my children were tiny tots, and i heard, " It's not fair! " followed by a big old wail..I am reminded of the generations-past AND present. Our kids need to understand that life is NOT Fair..and that nothing is even-steven out there..Work IS hard, Life IS what you make it..Choices-good or bad WILL come back to bite us in the behind if we aren't smart. Teach your children from the earliest age, and future generations will be more stable and able to cope with the realities of :what is to come tomorrow..

People are whiny:).
Yes every person is entitled to equal rights under the law, but if one person spends 10 years in college and one just goes to highschool. Who do you think should have more money and things?

People are fooled into believing that society grants
equal rights through it's government so it would not be so obvious that minorities do rule.

I disagree every one has the right to live comfortably, which means having a nice house cloths a car etc , but like it or not the world as a hole doesn't really care

 Says who? There's no reason why someone who works their butt off should get the same things as someone who does nothing. You get what you earn and if you refuse to work for it, then why should you have it?
