That mean as a society, like you individually have the same amount, but if you took a group of people this would be true

that assumes they're smart enough to wonder and too stupid to understand.

i reckon they're probably too stupid to wonder and smart enough to understand, though.

Agree!

I have way too much sex to deal with the cleanup so I just pee sitting down.

Gotta say, to me, this is one of the better ones I’ve come across on this sub

"Your spouse is the only family member that is acceptable to have sex with." - some law in Alabama.

"She's my sister! How could she cheat on me with my brother?" - typical Alabama court case, especially when child custody is being decided.

I've never paid any mind to qualifications. If you really want a job and you have relevant skills- go ahead and apply for it. Sometimes hiring managers don't even know who they're looking for.

"I understand how money can make things easier sometimes. That’s still far from a guarantee."

Our society and economic system is far from fair. That doesn't refute my original point though.

There are many examples as you lay out but the vast majority of billionaires came from money. Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg all came from wealthy families. For every Carnegie there dozens if not hundreds of JP Morgans. I think a good metaphor is a bow and arrows. The wealthier your family the better the bow and the more arrows you’re given to shoot a bullseye. Oprah had a busted ass bow and one arrow and somehow managed to hit it. Elon Musk had a fancy bow with dozens of arrows. He could shoot and miss until he made it.

He's not right, but he's not wrong. There is no solution in complaining about it, only in doing something about it - and often, that's harder than it looks.

Even so, you'll make infinitely more of a difference if you do than if you complain.

People are kind of lazy. They want to push conflict back to the point where it's inevitable, and they "have to," rather than making the changes that need to be done now - mostly inside their own hearts. ..not that they can help it - you are who you are until you change, and what it takes to change is different for each person.

and hitting someone else while smiling is weird, unless they're clapping.

You can know if they’d rather be pissed on or be the one pissing
