No one believes in equality, no matter what they claim. To be totally equal, people would have to be totally identical, the way two quarters or two nickels are identical. And being identical, they’d be interchangeable. The closest to total equality and total identicalness in nature are bees and ants, but even they are not identical and still have a division of labor, so they’re not interchangeable. On TV and in the movies, the closest were the Borg from “Star Trek.” Even they’re not equal and identical. Close, though, for humans. Let’s do a thought experiment and imagine if people were totally equal. We’d be clones, meaning we’d have to take over our evolution, an idea which has made science-fiction writers salivate for decades, even before even H.G. Wells and his “The Island of Dr. Moreau.” We’d either be hermaphrodites or else sexless clones, with babies grown in artificial wombs. Loveless, sexless clones, since love and lust are too upsetting to a well-ordered society. Aldous Huxley came close to such a society in “Brave New World,” but even he didn’t go all the way. All of us would look exactly alike to avoid envy, unless we can rid ourselves of envy. We’d have to edit our genes and change our brains and get rid of families and religion and other primitive things we wouldn’t need anymore. We’d have to think exactly alike. Isn’t that the goal of Political Correctness, anyway? The only way that could happen is if we were a hive mind, such as the one Orson Scott Card wrote about in “Ender’s Game.” We’d have no individuality whatsoever. What an awful world! It wouldn’t be a Heaven on Earth; it’d be a Hell. Why would anyone want it? Don’t the supporters of “equality” ever think it though to its logical end? If they did, they’d be horrified. I suppose a few lunatics, probably some man-hating atheistic nihilistic socialist/radical feminist New York lesbians, fantasize about such a world, but the mentally-ill hallucinations of one out of every 50 million people don’t exactly count. We don’t believe in equality in sports. You’ll never see Affirmative Action there. Yet we do believe in it economically, even though it’s a brake on wages and the creation of jobs. Michelle Obama had a job at a Chicago hospital making some $300,000 a year. When she left they eliminated her job. It was a make-work job because she was (is) an incompetent Affirmative Action baby. We don’t believe in Affirmative Action for romantic relationships. I’ve pointed out to people they should imagine if there were laws enforcing such equality, and think about the trouble it would cause. Imagine if women were required by law to ask out a certain number of men a week, keep track of it, and report every week to the Federal Affirmative Actions Bureau of Dating and Romance. And then the bureaucrats would call the men to make sure the women weren’t lying. Then there would have to be re-education classes to change the mentality of resentful, recalcitrant women, the way men at corporations are required to attend “sensitivity” classes about workplace sexual harassment, etc. Nonsense? Of course. But it’s not so much more nonsensical than businesses that have to file reams of paperwork to the federal government to make sure they hire they right number of women, blacks, Hispanics and whoever else is the minority de jure. If “equality” is not about equality, what is it about? Ultimately it’s about special rights. It always is. It’s about money/political power, one of the worst banes of human existence. Since we are not going to have equality, being that it is impossible, what we will end up with is what we always end up with until revolts overturn it: a vanishingly small minority of extremely wealthy and politically powerful people, who crush everyone else with the power of the State and try to force equality and poverty on them. It’s why we end up with loons like the multimillionaire Al Gore, who thinks everyone else should make crushing sacrifices while he lives in a mansion that uses the energy of ten houses. “Equality” itself is a fraud, even if unwittingly. It doesn’t lead to equality at all, just wealth and power for a handful and poverty for nearly everyone else. I’ve heard this called “the tyranny of a clique in the name of the equality of all.” There are people who believe they are intellectually and morally superior to everyone else, and who are convinced they can “rationally” plan society and move people around like chess pieces (Michael Oakeshott called these people “rationalists” and Thomas Sowell sneered at them as “the Anointed”). I don’t really understand the mentality, being that it is so alien to me, but it certainly exists. It’s a tribute to the empathic power of the human imagination that I can comprehend at all the mentality of such people. Still, I find it nearly impossible to understand their blindness and hypocrisy. It doesn’t matter what their names are – Ralph Nader, Michael Moore, Barbra Streisand, Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Noam Chomsky, the Clintons, the Obamas, the Kennedys, Nancy Pelosi, Cornel West – all of them believe they are better than the unwashed masses, and should rule ever them. As long, of course, as long as they are extremely wealthy and politically powerful -- and everyone else is not. Our public schools, from beginning to end, have failed to educate children about the nature of the State, and the tyranny of the clique and the poverty of the many. Churches have failed, too, being that so many are busy with their Tribulation/ Rapture fantasies or else supporting open borders to increase their congregations. What to do? As always, it is up to individuals to educate themselves. What other choice is there?

#24. To: Turtle (#19)
This is understandable, de women have to enmbelish a great deal to keep up with turtle. ; ) An MA isn't difficult to attain, I graduate next semester with a 4.0.
"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ... We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of." Edward Bernays, Father of Public Relations
Turtle can tell if a woman is smart or not. Sometimes, with five seconds.
“How many Sex and the City fans have funneled all their maternal instincts into their Chinese bulldog without even noticing their ovaries have expired?”
Are you married to each other or something? Pull up some popcorn and mellow out! "Every Person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons. And which "large" organ are you using for that?

Here is Equality: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWHEcIbhDiw My last "Goil" friend said she wanted "Equality", I responded; "Honey, we aren't equal and never will be". She kept trying, till I showed her the curb ;)
^^^^This.

Turtle is an Uber-Man! As of course all know.
"Society is, always has been and always will be a structure for the exploitation and oppression of the majority through systems of political force dictated by an élite, enforced by thugs, uniformed or not, and upheld by a willful ignorance and stupidity on the part of the very majority whom the system oppresses." -- Richard K. Morgan
Uber? No, turtle is a GOOBER and should never be in the same sentence as a superlative. ; )

Inequality, not equality, is a mass belief. The idea of being unequal or oppressed relative to some counterpart is a defining characteristic of Diversity people. Diversity people are the vast majority of voters, both in the US and Israel.
A goober is a peanut.

Specifically it is a chocolate covered peanut put out by Nestle.

When I was 21 and working in a nursing home I went into a room one night and found a 250-pound senile black woman in bed with a 100-pound white woman. When I asked her what she was doing, she said, "I'm looking for goobers." When I asked her what a goober was, she said, "Peanuts." I told her there were no goobers in the bed and put her back in hers.

I was referring to the urban dictionary: basically a goober is just a kindhearted, rather oblivious goofball. It's term of endearment really. it comes from the ancient scottish verb "to goub", which has to do with doing a dance and smiling sheepishly while doing so, exposing the goubs in one's teeth. "That Turtle is such a goober," said Jane as Turtle danced his Junior Prom away.

There is an error regarding the noun in that sentence....let me help you. Turtle is always wrong. There, fixed it.

No, you messed up again. Let me help you with the correct proper noun. Abraxas is always right, and cute and smart and witty. There, now the sentence is accurate.

AA and other "equality" legislation are nothing but modern day Nuremberg Laws.
Well I would say we were at my hotel but that draws a different picture. So yes, let's go with the bar.

Thanks FF. : ) Neener-Neener Turtle!! All that Abraxas has said is true. Now, who will vouch for you? We cannot take your word for it, we must have independent confirmation for your claims. Who will vouch for Turtle? Pull out the cot and gather some supplies FF, this could be a very long wait for confirmation. : )

That is because you've caught them on their hypocrisy. Most of the advocates of "equality" are not in favor of equality they are in favor of special rights for "their group" whatever they conceive that group to be whether it be women, men, or Martian Hermaphrodites. Diversity is another buzzword with much the same meaning. The problem is though that some of the complaints and cavils raised by the Diversity/Equality mongers are true, it is just that their solutions are never really aimed at solving the underlying problems which are not really amenable to political deck chair rearranging. The problem lies with peoples attitudes toward other people and in a free society organized by voluntary cooperation among free individuals you are going to have "inequality" as people tend to choose to be with people they feel comfortable with and whom they voluntarily identify, based upon their own prejudices, as members of their own group. A strict meritocracy would be an honest equality, giving to each equal opportunity, but the Diversity Mongers do not like that because it would be unequal favoring the most able. So, in the end they are not for "equality" but uniformity and conformance with their own personal prejudices.
"One of the least understood strategies of the world revolution now moving rapidly toward its goal is the use of mind control as a major means of obtaining the consent of the people who will be subjects of the New World Order." K.M. Heaton, The National Educator
You got that right. Equality is just a code word for prejudice.
That dog would vouch for Obama, Pelosi and/or Barney Frank for a Scooby Snack. So, we can't trust your dog......even if it is really cute.

No, she wouldn't, being almost as smart as Turtle. She prefers braunswager, anyway.

My favorite argument against "equality" is taking the person asking for it to task. I'll state, simply, "Ok, let's eliminate women's sports altogether, and make competition between individuals, not genders" or "let's eliminate gender/race based hiring and let the market decide on its own who is best qualified for a job". Suddenly, especially if I'm talking to a woman, the topic gets quickly changed.
