[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You area all now seeing the problems with 'fairness'. Fairness actually means bringing those who did everything right, down, to equalize those who haven't. That's not actually fair, now is it?

There is an individual who did everything right - who worked hard, scrapped, saved - to ensure he/she would not continue the poverty cycle. Instead of lifting that person up as an example, the 'fairness advocates' did their best to demean that individual's accomplishments.

This type of progressive liberalism only works when the group buys into it or when it's forced on them. The pushback you see is not due to 'racism', 'bias', etc. It's due to INDIVIDUALS who do not want to participate in their own demise. This is not selfish or racist, or whatever other names you want to throw out there. It's due to the basic UNfairness of the program overall - the stripping away of individual rights for the 'common good'. If that sounds a bit like Communism? Well....it is....[/quote]

Love this line- "it's due to individuals who don't want to participate in their on demise."  God bless you, sir[/quote]

Thank you :)  See what a cup of coffee can do? LOL.

I'm tired of success being demeaned, and even worse, success that comes from one's own efforts. [/quote]

I don't understand.   How do you see a desire to help the homeless as demeaning your success?[/quote]

The placing of homeless shelters in wealthy areas in the name of 'diversity' will affect property values. [/quote]

OK, let's accept that this is true.   How does it "demean" your success?

The definition of "demean" is to "cause a severe loss in the dignity of and respect for (someone or something)."

When you say that a homeless shelter demeans your success, are you just saying that it diminish your financial well-being?  or are you trying to say something else?

It diminishes the importance of hard work as a factor in one's success. Note the way others in this thread treated the individual who worked his/her ass off to get out of poverty. [/quote]
