As the title says... how does one measure equality? Will we ever truly be equal?

Equal opportunity. Get rid of Capitalism. Insert Socialism. Tax the rich. Get rid of welfare. Get rid of affirmative action. Focus on education. More police presence in inner cities(Martial law for all I care). I'm not serious.

We can't. Somebody gotta be a winner and somebody gotta be a loser. However one can't exist without the other.

equality = stop progress

How? Well the measurement would be based on a comparison of treatments between specific parties/individuals.

Will we ever be equal? Depends on the person's view of "equal". (Nice way of saying no)

What type of equality are you refering to?

Gender Equality or Race Equality.

I don't think we'll ever be equal. People have opinions letting them decided what they choose to believe. So as long as people think different things, I don't think we'll ever TRULY be equal. Maybe the idea could happen but I don't think it's likely.

If we have no rich, who will employ the poor? The government? Yeah ok. Lay off that bullshit

Who said have no rich?

You never answered the question. When would enough be enough and we just say "everyone has equal opportunity"?


If we can never truly say this, then all those fighting for a cause (gay rights, black rights, white rights etc.) are just racists that want their people to get on top.

so answer the question... how do we measure equal opportunity?

Equal opportunity: Get rid of Capitalism. Insert Socialism. Tax the rich. Get rid of welfare. Get rid of affirmative action. Focus on education. More police presence in inner cities(Martial law for all I care). I'm not serious.

If we truly had to feel like measuring it, then we really don't have true equality.

Equality does not exist, but if it did, it would mean everyone has the same rights and opportunities, and that everyone is treated the same everywhere. That can't really happen though.

All I have to say is, you're asking the wrong questions.
