Damn dude, are you going to answer any of my questions?
And again I ask to what end? Because if that end is 99%, it's still pretty damned bad.
And if equity isn't the answer, why go there?
So you're disagreeing with this premise: "there comes a point where equity can only be achieved at the expense of fairness, justice, freedom or...
It might be impossible, doesn't mean everybody thinks so. And it's worth noting that if a state cannot achieve 100% equity, then by the standards...
You can't even be consistent on the same page of the same forum. You disagreed with this comment: Now you're claiming that because I won't agree...
I reject that premise, and you demanding that I accept that premise is not exactly a prelude to a good faith discussion.
It's not worth anything. It's like measuring a hitter by how hard the ball comes off the bat. It might be interesting, but if he's hitting...

It's still an important reminder, however. If fairness and justice are the end goals, when people treat equity as the preferred means to that...
At the end of the day, there is no meaningful human endeavor in existence where circumstances, experience, and natural ability play no factor in...
"Marxism is a theory that believes that capitalist society is based on inequalities between the bourgeoisie (ruling capitalist class) and the...
My family fled Marxism. I think I know a thing or two about Marxism. I've been hearing about it since I was like five years old.
[img] Statistics and "rankings" are data points and slivers of evidence. They specifically fail to paint the entire picture. They're important,...
Clearly, my ranking is superior. It actually followed the precise science of "ranking the best states for teachers." Also, I don't care if UF is...
