No, you sure didn't.

Differences in "levels of opportunity" are the accumulated result of voluntary decisions by individual human beings.

[/ QUOTE ] Are you suggesting that it doesn't matter where your born, who your parents are, etc. etc. etc.?? To quote the "philosopher" Everlast, "You know where it ends, it usually depends on where you start."

[/ QUOTE ]

No. Are you being deliberately obtuse? I made it explicitly clear that it does matter, which is why the idea that everyone "deserves equal opportunity," a physical impossibility, is meaningless.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think you are being deliberately obtuse. This stuff about receiving equal "opportunity" or whatever we want to call it being a physical impossibility is ridiculous,

[/ QUOTE ]

Great. Now show why.

and there probably aren't two people on this forum who can't see what sweetjazz tried to explain to you.

[/ QUOTE ]

A) Lol. Read it again. sweetjazz conceded the point, which is why he had to move to his idea of "levels of opportunity." Which is why I shifted to a new argument that addressed his new proposal.

B) Care to make a wager?

As to the rest, I'm not trying to "rebutt" it because it has nothing specifically to do with what I was talking about.
