So.. some people are more important than others?

FYI: to those who live in ghetto's or the projects and claim to have it hard...go live in a 3rd world country and try to compare.

Aswering the original question, some people are more important than others. People impacting the country or world by curing diseases, entertaining people and inventing new things to make everyones life easier are better than the crack dealer, 14 year old mom and drop outs that are living in the ghetto.

There are smart people that are in the ghetto, but if they are really smart or motivated they will work hard and make something happen so they dont have to spend thier whole life there.

Simple reason bub. Some people do more with there lives, so they are more important. **** your logic on all people are = because they arent. Your Grandmother wasnt on the front page news because she was a Grandmother and nothing else. Just like mine.

- everyone is created equal, and wealth does put you in your place here in society, but just because of wealth doesn't mean you are a better person because of that. if you think that it's people like you who need to be murdered rather than the innocent people tryin' to get by.
and first, i'm not claiming that living in pittsburgh is some "hard life" or some shit, i never have claimed that. people take what you say here wayy too literally. i know there arent TWO murders a DAY here. but in a given week, seeing 1-2 people murdered over STUPID shit isn't uncommon.

second, i'm proud of where i came from. i came from nothing. i live in a part of town where houses can range in the 60-100k range. the poor neighborhoods / crime neighborhoods, the houses normally range 5-25/30k.

we are moving to the country and building a house, i might get an apartment in pittsburgh, or rent this house out. i dont know, but there are A LOT of parts of pittsburgh with a ton of violence

ive been to the hood. ive been to "traps", and its some disgusting *** shit to be honest. in my short time alive ive seen some shit now.... walkin in to see a chick givin 2 dudes head, drugs all over the table, guns laying out, money everywhere, scales, the smell of crack.. i did some stupid shit when i was younger, i wasnt involved in any of it but i was present there - not something i really wanted to do.

people make choices in this life... some choices make people "better off financially" than others, but all in all, we all are the same thing. and equal.

and to the prick *****es who think they're "better" than someone because of their wealth, tell me, how much better would you be staring down the barrell of a gun? at that point, you have nothing. nothing else matters. try having your life in danger some time, you'll have a different perspective after that. ive been there already.

Link to $5,000 home please.

I'll pay you $20 cash for every $5,000 home you find me. If they are on adjacent properties, I'll give you $30.

If you find me a city block, I'll give you $1,000.

Watch how fast an investor flush with cash can turn a neighborhood around.

What's the point in having your life in danger. That doesn't tell how much of a man you are. Only an idiot would hang around where fools do such a thing.

And I won't even visit this block of yours. I'll call my local credit union, buy the properties....bulldoze them to the ground and set up shop with some condos.

Have you ever read Animal Farm?

We are all equal, just some of us are more equal than others.

But I know as soon as I level a couple city blocks, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would be calling me racist because the poor blacks have no where to go.

However, I have the ace.

By virtue of being white, I am automatically racist. I might as well enjoy it.

I am not as important as I should be in my own mind. Sucks when you think you are not as smart and you believe you are. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
