Otherwise, without equality, we would be advocating certain combinations of thought and gender would be okay to discriminate against.
As human beings we are all born with the right to live with some shred of dignity. All humans are equal. Otherwise we will have some form of slavery.
I've always had the strongest feelings against slavery. Based on the Golden Rule of morality, slavery is the antithesis of everything that is good. So I've been fascinated with this scene from one of the Avengers movies. In the scene, Loki says kneeling to authority is our natural state. And we will always kneel to some sadistic bully leader. Here is the clip:
Personally, I will always refuse to bend the knee.
So I disagree with Loki. Bending a knee is NOT our natural state. Defying authority is our natural state!

You do realize the majority of the world's population does not live in Nations that permit freedom of speech and ''equality''?
Women are descriminated against in the majority of the world, with thousands of Indian women being raped and killed every year, women being forced to marry the men their fathers chose for them in Iran, women having to breed like the world is going to end in Africa etc.

No, we aren't. Human beings don't have the inherent right to live with some dignity. Have you never seen the movie Spartacus? High status men have always enslaved and dominated those they could do so, and it will always be like that. The Middle-class's only purpose in life is to either make a few men and women rich, or to keep the ones who are rich, rich.
It's true that the quality of life in the western world for middle-class people has increased massively, but that's because they realized that healthy, relatively happy people are far more productive.

No, bro. If you had been born 2000 years ago as the heir to the Roman Empire you wouldn't be having strong feelings against slavery, and we are not equal, for if we we're equal I'd be playing for Juventus F.C wouldn't I?
Personally, I will always refuse to bend the knee.
Is that so? Then move to Iran, and start preaching against the govt. and their traditions and let's see how long it takes for you to ''bend the knee'', Ned Starkk LOOL.

Our natural state is a few men having absolute rule over the many. Our natural state is a few men having access to every resource and luxury. You live a pampered life, and if you were living in any other Country other than the 1st world nation you live in, your major concern wouldn't be equality amongst men, but ''not dying of starvation before the day is over.''

Slavery with real auction blocks is going on today just like it has been since the dawn of human history.
All people are not created equal just ask a Mullah or a bible thumper who considers everyone not of their ilk will be going to hell..
Also all you have to do is a bit of traveling to a few garden spots of this world to realize the only created equal is the way the human body is put together and even then there are huge variables.
Stay around or in a country where the average IQ is below 70 or even 80 and you will realize not all humans are created equal unless you are talking body parts which I will say again; even though it is not a PC statement just observed fact.
Wow 48 nations out of 195 if you count Palestine and the Holy See (Rome) 193 if they do not count as neither are a member of the U.N...chr0naut we have a different idea of a majority !

dude, your knees are permanently bent. Its not like your actively fighting the system at one of the many points of contact around the world. That is for the likes of the revolutionaries and terrorists. Pretty much everyone in the Western world has been on its knees for generations. It is happening in Asia too, but they won't get like us until at least after 2050.
Just enjoy all the fun gadgets and luxuries they provide us, like VR and reef fish tanks, and paintball! How about a trip to the movies, don't you like movies??? Ahh yes, how about racing drones, you like racing drones right?
If you are paying your taxes and not fighting TPTB you are on them knees boy! Oh wait, how about do the one #ing things that you can actually do as a regular person to combat the system, and stop using electronic funds transfers to pay for things in your life? Oh #, thats too damn revolutionary, and inconvenient.
Better just stay on them knees boy!

However, eagle-eyed viewers have spotted Trump did in fact give a subtle bow of his head when he stepped out his Range Rover and locked eyes with the Queen.
Many people missed it because the car door was blocking the TV cameras showing the nod in full effect - but it's there in the video footage to view (see above).
