I'M dumb? At least I can read what Maggie wrote, shitforbrains.
" "...regardless of social class..." has zero to do with individual aspiration." Her fucking words, dimwit, not mine.
Yes, you're dumb. Even after it's been pointed out to you, you still don't understand that
"...regardless of social class..." has zero to do with individual aspiration
means ones' social class has nothing to do with ones' individual aspirations.
Nice attempt at hairsplitting, but though YOU don't remember the original quote after having it dragged this far out and cherrypicked, I do.
"In the American Dream, first expressed by James Truslow Adams in 1931, "life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement" regardless of social class or circumstances of birth."
The word "regardless" in that quote MAKES it about individual aspirations. That quote isn't about Maggie's bullshit whining about "oh, the rich people don't care about us".
The problem here is one of perspective (aside from the fact that you twats can't read). I see in that quote everyONE (individuals) working and getting ahead on their own. You twats see "opportunity: Oh, gosh, that means the government needs to create an entitlement."
What you fail to grasp in James Truslow's quote is that although that's certainly a noble statement, IT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE, which was MY point that was so clear a child could understand what I said! Maybe an example is in order, as I would to a child:
Consider that every just born baby has no prejudices, opinions, direction, or preferences other knowing when he/she is hungry or hurting. We ALL become who we are because of our familial environments foremost, and our personal and academic education/capabilities thereafter. So how is a child born in an inner city poverty pocket to illiterate parent(s), an environment infested with drug dealers and filthy tenements, crumbling schools full of rowdy kids with no intention of ever learning anything, ever expected to rise above that without help to show him the alternatives? If not from overworked and overwhelmed community sponsored projects, then from government aid to at least keep the child fed? By the time many such children reach adolescence, all they have ever known is what is seen around them. Are they just supposed to automatically ASSUME that if they stepped over the boundary into a better environment, they would be welcomed with open arms? Ironically, many have also tried, and have failed at that very attempt.
Once more:
"In the American Dream, first expressed by James Truslow Adams in 1931, "life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement" regardless of social class or circumstances of birth."
BUT...IT...ISN'T... What's not to comprehend?
