Sorry if you think I'm heated. I'll tone it down. I really tend to overuse expletives for emphasis. I want to be clear that I understand you. However, I think that "equality in it's highest form" is some kind of platonic magic that doesn't exist in the reality we live in and is completely irrelevant to any of this. Like, it's pretty ridiculous to remove context from a situation and just blanket "equality" on something. Your version is some really thoughtless black and white stuff that could use maybe a minute of consideration. Like treating someone without legs the same as someone who can walk and forgoing ramps because that's equality in the highest form. "With no negatives" would require the legless fella to have legs. And would that require giving them legs to achieve equality? What about the legged people who didn't get a hugely expensive surgery? Is equality giving them cash to equal that out? I'm saying it's actually always complicated. Equality with context (and even really really simple thought) concludes that treating everyone equally means treating some people differently. Because, y'know, you can't ask a paraplegic to use the stairs in most cases.

But I'm mostly just responding to inform and explain in case there's any chance of education or open mindedness and it seems like we're not getting anywhere.

I'm in no need of informing, and your analogies fall short of making a point. I don't mind if you want to focus on what separates us, but this has been a waste of my time, and there is no conclusion when met with ignorance.

Hey let's drop it. I didn't mean to touch a nerve. I'm sorry for wasting your time friend. Hope you have a nice night.
