1984 and now

[al-onestare]

Let me guess this straight.

You think all cultures are equal.
And you think that women can become men, and men can become women.

Is that right?

We are one. And that's all there is.

 

[synchronicity]

That's 1984 thinking.

All animals are equal, and some are even more equal

 

[al-onestare]

That's 1984 thinking.

Through you lens perhaps.

 

[synchronicity]

The fact is that countries are not equal.
Cultures are not equal.
Languages are not equal.
People are not equal (everyone has different values).

Keep shovlin'

Do you expect me to believe that the Taliban and ISIS think the same as leftists?
People are very different indeed.

I suspect that you may be using an unsuitable definition of "equal". While I agree that not all people are the same, I think that "equal", with regards to the statements you appear to be disagreeing with, is intended to mean of equivalent value.

Hope this helps.

Carry on.

Was anybody stating that? I don't remember

Err, what?
So you're going to resort to arguing about semantics, about the definition of 'equal'.
You and I don't even have equivalent DNA.

Even so, people can have similar DNA profiles, or even the same DNA, but ultimately, different cultural traits and experiences will over-ride a person's behaviour.

People are arguing here that everyone is the same, everyone should be treated the same and given the exact same opportunities blah blah blah blah blah blah.

I'd go far as to say the exact opposite. That far from everyone being equal, no two people are alike.
Even dogs of the same breed are different from one another.
