Universal Declaration #1
1. No one is inferior to anyone else based on gender
2. No one is inferior to anyone else based on religious beliefs
3. No one is inferior to anyone else based on skin color
4. No one is inferior to anyone else based on nationality
All humans are humans and should be treated as such, equally.
Hurt no one. Take nothing belonging to anyone else. Respect others regardless of their (possible) differences from yourself.
No one has the right to "first strike" anyone else, nor should they. Treat everyone fairly, and well. Treat everyone else as you would treat yourself.
We're all human, and we're all on this Earth because we were born here, and all of us have the equal right to live here.
Support the advancement of human people.
That is all.

What if a religious belief dictates that one gender or race is inferior to another (I'm not saying any religions actually do this, although some might)

I am superior to women.
I am superior to anyone believing the church and/or beeing a member of Scientology, or beeing Jewish.
I am superior to any frenchman.
In other words:
Fuck the Universal Declaration #1.

Simply take Gardener's concepts about Multiple Intelligences. According to him all kids(and, as such, adults) are *equally* intelligent. They are simply so in different modes of information assimilation.
Apparently, he believes that while people *can* have biological performance deltas physically, mentally all brains are "created equal".
Any of you that have seen morons and stupid bastards and said "well at least I'm *smarter* than him" better watch out because the M.I. philosophy is starting to creep into schools(much to my disgust).
It basically teaches smart, academic book worms that they're less valuable than a jock peer because even though the jock sounds like an ass and is dumb as a brick, he's still as "smart". So technically, the errudite has *nothing* going for him.
This has been bothering a lot of my academic kids when they heard about it in school and I'm NOT using this philosophy in class. I refuse.
While I don't compare childrens' intelligences in class and I do encourage all kids to push pas their limitations, every child should have ONE quality that makes them feel they do better than everyone else. Some assholes like Gardener would take that away from them.

I am superior to any frenchman.
I think that's a universal given. ;)
Is this like a more-mature version of "Everything I Ever Need To Know, I Learned in Kindergarden?"
All in all, it seems worthy and should be common sense. However, we know how "common" that is... :angryfire:
