The freedom of equality works better for me!. Should adults be free from parenthood!? The unequally being in children!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

it is one of the great intellectual heists of our age that intellectual cranks with a political agenda have successfully convinced people that freedom and equality are in conflict with one another!.

The truth is that they are corollaries!. You can't have one without the other!. You'd may as well ask a person if they'd rather have food or water for the rest of their lives, because it is logically the same kind of question!.

Freedom without equality is slavery!. Equality without freedom is slavery!. One is the enslavement of the few by the many, the other is the enslavement of the many by the few!.

Of course, extremists in the left-wing have hijacked the term "equality" to mean that every human being should get the exact same amount of money as every other human being!. But I hardly call equal pay for unequal work "equality"!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think you get one without the other!.

Freedom is a privilege that comes with responsibilities and without equality there is not freedom!.

Those who go on about "special" rights for those who've not had certain rights are afraid that giving equality will mean they have to give up their own special rights!. They won't, but those rights they've had won't be special anymore just equal!.

But inequality is a partial prison, a chain, that no amount of responsibility will blow up to get that privilege of freedom equality gives!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Freedome and equality are two matrixes that form the delicate balacne of a civilized life!. I cannot prefere one over other since one makes the other and vice versa!. From other point of view equality is not realy a domain that can exist with some pre-set standard giving us the so called equality measuer!. We are all different and if I dont have a same DNA as a multilingual genious I can hardly long for some equality!. As for freedome it is one of the human rights to make free decisions, but lets face it, We cant run away from problems!. So we are hardly free to make decision for our selfs all the time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Neither truly exist!. While a balance between the two would be preferable, both are simply concepts humans have come up with to give us hope!. Our systems do not allow for such concepts to be realities however!. You are under the scrutiny of everyone around you, limiting your freedom!. Based on your lack of freedom, you are not equal to others!. Www@QuestionHome@Com


Answering freely, i make it;

Equality= one answerer!.
Freedom=four answerers!.

Concluding equaly, i make it "Freedom" the winner!

(p!.s!. my own preferance is-let me toss this coin first-hey presto,i believe its "Equality" for me! Doh!)Www@QuestionHome@Com

freedom of living your life the way you prefer will help ones' to achieve the equality according to their' inner thoughts!.!.(as the definition of equality might be different among others as for their own desires while freedom lays as it is!.!.)

It is impossible in this society for all members to be equally free!.!.!. The rich can do as they like and the poor have to spend a lot of their lives working, or their family will starve!.

So I prefer equality!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Equality is utopian crap!.
Nobody wishes to be like everybody else!.
We all long to be different or better than the person next door!.
