ok let it put it this way, everybody is born equal its the actions of a person that decides what he/she that detrmine his/her "worth"

Erm, people aren't born equal either.

Let's put this way; everyone is different. It doesn't mean everyone who is different is bad.

what? how is everybody born not equal?! please do explain

People are born with certain advantages and disadvantages.  If everyone was born equal (the same) then there would be no differentiating between people and everyone would be identical.

your taking equal too literally. by saying equal i mean that everybody should be born with the same rights without and discrimination about what race, sex or religion. everybody should have the same rights and nobody should have the right to take them away from you because he doesnt like what you look like

If you want to go the rights route, than you need to show why rights should not be based on attributes one are born with, and what actually qualifies as rights.  In addition, you can argue that rights is the best criterion for making ethical decisions.    And you are bringing out should now also, without explaining why the should is.
