Everyone is not equal but everyone deserves to be given the same opportunities. Nothing more, nothing less.

Deserves the same opportunities in what way?  Does that mean when an opportunity pops up, that there should be a lottery where everyone is drafted into that lottery and the winner is given the opportunity?  Don't people, who are offering opportunities, for reasons of needing things done, make discernment decisions on who they feel is the most qualified to succeed in the opportunity, for the benefit of the agenda of the person offering it?  Also, isn't there a reality basis also that opportunities end up not being put out there for just anyone, but other criterion and limits of a person's network?

"Deserve" is a dangerous word, because it ends up having people making presumptions of entitlement that aren't there.  It is often a reach for things that are seen as not correct, without being able to articulate why.

i think giving everybody having the same oppertunities is something illogical and pretty much impossible. there are so many variables its impossible. but everybody should have the same rights
