People talk about fairness and equality, but it's really the last thing they are interested in. What they really want is to fir things to go the way they demand.
When someone says they want things to be fair are they really open to a "fair" outcome? "Fair" would mean everyone gets exactly what we deserve. I tell you here and now, I'm glad I haven't gotten some of the punishments I deserved. If you're being honest with yourself, you are too.

Before you talk about what is "fair" and/or "equality", it's parameters must first be define. A fair process does not necessarily result in a fair result. Leveling the playing field also does not take into consideration individual abilities.

To level anything you have to take fro one side and give to another side. Is that fair to the people losing out?

@ParaTed2k _You take nothing away from either side. Leveling the playing field means everyone plays by the same rules. Consider the game of Basketball. The rules apply to both team but who wins would depend on their abilities.

Behave what way? We have all done things we can be punished for.

True, but then people complain that someone got something they didn't.
