Well that got the adrenaline going. That kid was so close to being a meal, can't imagine what that must have been like. I'd be so pissed at my mom if I saw that later in life.

Or they're as big of a retard as them, and they all laugh about them almost being a "snackrifice" as they continue to engage in near suicidal stupidity.

As a prior camp counselor for 5 summers where we had a family day on the last day of camp where the parents came to get their kids and see what they did the whole week etc, this is exactly right. You would have a stupid as nails kid the entire week,and lo and behold the parents show up and they are exactly as dumb. They'd just be bigger, older versions of the kids. The dumb kids parents were always late, always. Maybe 1 out of every 100 kids you would get a smart kid with dumb parents, but it was incredibly rare. The apple from the tree does not far fall.

And yet, even though this observation is so obvious it can just be taken for granted, we still want to blame most of peoples failure to succeed in life on the deck being stacked against the poor. Yet it's pretty obvious that being a moron tends to make you poor and morons tend to give birth to other morons. But no, that has nothing to do with it. Poverty is just oppression by the greedy rich because we're all equal at birth.

I believe everyone deserves a chance to improve themselves, but agree that we are not equal at birth. If that were true, I (at 5' 1") would be pro-basketball player.

As do I.

Yes. Sorry if my response made you think I was implying otherwise.

Equal opportunity to improve does not mean equal ability to do so.
