Is it important? If so, why?
Don't confuse equality with respect, please.

The rest is all about losers complaining all the time.
Which includes you Mr. 100% P.
A retard who'll never amount to anything in his life will get about 20times the support given to a smart, interesting, and curious kid.
How does that even make sense.
Might makes right. The zeitgeist just makes it taste democratish at the time.
The obsession with pure equality is not even applicable to fundamental particles for gods sake.
It's just for people who are so afraid they suck they want to pull everybody else down to their level.
I say the economical, social and political structures + the zeitgeist (values , freedom, bla bla) are already offering enough equal chances or maybe too much.
And let's face it, what most people say and don't even realise they say is 'equality by dragging people down' and pushing the masses up.

Equality is a limiting belief. To say that you can't be less than someone else is to also say that you can't be more.
It doesn't make sense, but it seems fair... and therefore somehow right. In some weird cosmic sense.
By giving to everybody, you feed nobody.It doesn't make sense, but it seems fair... and therefore somehow right. In some weird cosmic sense.
Give someone the option of being more than what they are. Let them prove it. Veil of ignorance is a beautiful thing.
Isn't this exactly what I'm saying? Or are you implying that people are only equal until they prove otherwise?
Equality does not mean making everyone the same. It refers giving everyone a subjectively equal opportunity to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
A democratic society cannot function without at least an illusion of equality.
Yes, but there's no telling whether you will be the carrier or the carried. Suppose you suffer a debilitating accident?In theory. In practice this equates to some carrying others.
