[QUOTE="LibertyTurns, post: 692172, member: 789"] This is way outside the topic at hand so mods feel free to move: I understand the logic but: a. Not every GT grad outperforms every other grad. Most do though and that’s why we’re in high demand. b. Not every 5* athlete outplays every 3* athlete, but most do though that’s why 5*’s are in higher demand than 3*’s c. Not every hardest working person is successful more than the lazy bastard on the corner. Most of the time it’s the case and that’s why we try to hire hard working people. d. The honest and ethical person doesn’t always win. The criminal sometimes ends up being the richest. e. Occasionally an ugly, fat man gets the hot chick but usually that’s not the case. The smartest guy, the most talented, etc isn’t always the best. I understand there’s intangibles that make someone’s experiences or the road they traveled better than the competition. There’s plenty of life’s examples, however, if you want equal opportunity you have a standard scale and the person that performs best against that standard should be the winner. Takes the bias out of the system. Those people that have to take the hard road will figure out a way to win if the game’s not rigged like it is right now. We can’t eliminate every aspect of unfairness from everyone’s life, ie parents pass away at an early age, sickness, etc but we can make the test and the grading criteria fair, known and understandable to all and you get your shot.
