how do you know that? maybe they arent as strong as you, maybe they arent as fast as you, they cant help that, its genetics, why shouldnt you help the less able?

Why are you so willing to assume that, 100% of the time, that the person cannot help their predicament?

I'll give you a little life-tip: People aren't created equal. But people also do not put equal effort into their life or lifestyle. If a man decides to not work out of laziness, should you provide food for him? If a man smokes, uses heavy drugs, and develops complications from that, should you pay extra (while living healthy yourself) to ensure the sick man that lived poorly is taken care of?

If you live smartly, invest your money wisely, and have a good job because your motivated, should someone forcefully take from you to give to someone that lives stupidly, blows their money on useless goods, has no job 'just cuz'? I don't see life that way. That's why there are some like Mafoo, and myself that believe that all men are created equal, but not everyone puts the same effort into their life and lifestyle, and should not expect to recieve the same reward. If a man works hard, gets promotions - should he not benefit from it? Shouldn't a person that lives dangerously be punished by the reprocussions of his bad actions?

 

humans are imperfect, do thoose imperfections make them less human, the answer is no, therefore they deserve what i deserve or what you deserve, we are all human, therefore we all have human rights
