As the old retort goes, fair means everyone has equal opportunity, not equal outcome, or even guarantees of any kind.

“BOY! What liar promised you ‘fair?’”

My mom taught me that “fair” was a place where you ride the merry~go~round. Life isn’t fair - it’s brutal, arbitrary, indifferent, and cruel.

Sack up libs!

Fair to a liberal means that your rights end at their feelings.

If our federal welfare, healthcare and Social Security ONLY provided what assistance was really NEEDED (for survival), there would be a lot of very unhappy democrats. Oh, wait! That’s right! According to Dems, we are not paying out enough because the dependents aren’t even getting what they need, like condoms, birth control, abortion, cell phones, etc.

Dogfood provides enough nutition for survival. A tent and some tools on federal land provids for some shelter. Throw in a military grade wardrobe for all seasons and you have the basics for survival. We can afford that for the needy. But then, I’ll bet a lot of those needy people would become more self reliant. They’d either get jobs or turn to crime. We may need to use some of the savings to build more prisons in Alaska and West Texas.

I hate the word “fair” as much as I hate the phrase “for the common good.” Fair is what is fair in the eye of the beholder. It is totally subjective. What is fair to you is not fair to me. When the word “fair” is used somebody is getting screwed.

People who use this definition of “fair” usually see themselves as being the ones who get to decide what others need.

Their definition means everyone gets what the government decides what they need, regardless whether they earn it or not.

Parents: You better rise up and get rid of these unions in our schools; otherwise, they are going to totally indoctrinate them with learning how to be Islamic.

Yes, you heard me .. that’s exactly what’s starting to happen in our schools.

This is the Islamazation of AMERICA. How much longer are parents going to put up with this CRAP ..!!!!!

Parents: You better get organized and get this junk out of our schools. Remember, the schools ARE TERRIFIED OF INFORMED PARENTS. If students are removed from the schools, the schools lose most of their money .. and since they worship money .. they are terrified you will remove your children.

I’m serious .. Islam is already being taught ..!!!!!!

Parents: Never forget that UNIONS DONATE THE MAJORITY OF THEIR FUNDS TO THE DEMOCRAT PARTY .. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS NEW TREND TO TEACH ISLAM IN THE SCHOOLS. THE TAKEOVER OF AMERICA HAS BEGUN .. TIME TO STOP THEM .. N O W !!!!

fair: getting what one deserves.

Sit on your ass or make bad decisions, then one deserves a bad outcome.

charity: getting what you need.

Fair means that everyone gets what they need.

I need a hot Italian wife, a Bentley Arnage, and a few other things.

It isn’t fair that we pay these communist government employee so much. They do not “need” such money, therefore it isn’t fair by their own definition.

Ah, yes, “need.” Such a nebulous concept.
