Re: \"Everything in life is luck\"
[ QUOTE ]
Everything I wrote in that post is true.
American children being born into a more affluent country isn't luck. It happened because of the hard work and accomplishments of previous generations.
It's not as if you (or anyone else) could have been born somewhere else. It's not like there was some kind of lottery to be determine where you would be born.

Ok a couple questions
1) Can you choose where you are born?
2) Do you consider yourself lucky to be born in the united states as opposed to sudan or zaire?
3) Do you think the little boy in the picture considering himself unlucky to be born into a family that cannot afford to feed him?
You weren't born into the united states because of your own personal hard work. I understand you think that the people who were able to move to the united states and prosper are smarter than the people who still live in africa, but it has nothing to do with an unborn child.
