A kid in Africa living in some slum where he may not even receive an education or kno whow to read/write may not have much of a decision when he needs to pitch in to keep his family fed and clothed. I see what your saying, but for some people, the have a stacked deck to the fullest.

i agree with that man but anybody not living in a 3rd world country has the same chance as all the rich people to make it.

Yeah, lol on the news tonight, they started with this tagline "A local town turns off the light of God"


I mean, could you TRY and make a more negative tagline than that? 

Hey, I got an idea, lets do Trauma's usual 'Go jack the headlines from CNN.com and see if there's any GOOD news" day.

Haven't done this in a while, but just to prove the point.

Top story is about the bombings in London - NEGATIVE
"Emily arrives in Winward Islands - story about a hurricane - NEGATIVE
"Beware Hurricane Cars" - story about how people sell cars that have been flooded - NEGATIVE
"NASA scrubs launch" - story about how the shuttle fell apart - NEGATIVE
"Ebbers gets long sentence" - story about some rich guy fucking over poor people - NEGATIVE
"Bush: No comment on Rove" - this one strangely has been on there for 4 days.  story about Carl Rove leaking classified info and ruining some woman's career - NEGATIVE
"Chief Justice Rehnquist hospitalized" - story about supreme court justice who's apparently dying - NEGATIVE
"Poll shows support for new female justice" - POSITIVE! YAY!
"Mostly Children killed in Iraq bombing" - NEGATIVE (and then, hilariously, next to it, "GALLERY")
"Brad Pitt treated for Menangitis" - Story about Pitt being sick.  - NEGATIVE


There ya have it folks, 90% of the world is falling apart. 

Compton Casanova:
The people with a dream, faith in Allah (or any other god/gods you belive in) and the right directions in life will most-certainly be destined for greatness. But the you have the people with the "middle class state of mind", who's life goal is to work two-three jobs, by the knew hummer, get a house and follow a daily rutine for the rest of their llife. There is nothing wrong with that if that is your goal, but it is these people who are always counting the small things such as wealth, or simple materials you do, or do not possess.

Short answer without getting deep: No.

Real talk. I guess 50 Cent described it right with "get rich or die trying".

Fuck no, I didn't just bring 50 into this thread.  :monkey_piss:

But on the real, I don't really believe in a stated destiny, but I do think anyone who REALLY wants to archieve something, should be able to get it. Of course unless you're talking about running the olympic 100m in 9 seconds, when you only have one leg. Not gonna happen. Other than that, you should pretty much be able to do anything you really put your mind to.

So what are you waiting for! Get moving, people!
