    All men have the same physical capacity: A big no-no.

    I think they meant it in a methodological way - no? I for one am not on par with, say, Zlatan, nor Messi or Ronaldo - when it comes to soccer.


    What I mean with that is that physically handicapped children obviously have the same rights to reach their physical limits when, say, going to school and having PE class...

    Retarded children don't have the same rights to go for A-grades (in fact it would be horrible to expect it of them, or judge them by it!!). They DO however still have the right to reach THEIR full capacity, just like any other child.

    It is not saying that anyone is as good as any other. They just have the right to reach THEIR limit, they are not however in their right to get an Olympic medal. Nor the Nobel Prize.


    As to how the dice are rolled in what sub groups of humanitys DNA code... It's either the will of some God, if you are into that.

    Alternatively a matter of science.

    Democracy should not shut science up - for the well being of you know... Society?

    *not to mention science at large*
