Well again I would say it's your only opinion that it's unfair. In some places if you are caught stealing you get your hands chopped off. Is this fair ?
Some people might say it is. Others might say it isn't. Some would say it is justice, others would say it's barbaric. In other places if you get caught stealing cars you get sent away on a mechanics' course. Is this fair ? Is this justice ? What is fair and what isn't again are all personal view points.
Basically when you say that something isn't fair you are saying I have my idea of what is fair and what isn't and the entire world/God should operate based on my idea of fair and noone else's as everyone elses' idea of fair is wrong and mine is right. If the world/God doesn't operate in the way that I think is fair then I want nothing to do with him/it. It's a very self-centred view.

I remember a story, I think it was one of Aesop's fable where some animal goes round asking if anyone wants to help him plough the field, harvest the grain etc etc etc. Everyone is like nah don't think so see ya later.
He does it all himself and eventually makes bread and then everyone wants to come and eat the bread. Where were they when he was ploughing the field ? Where were they when he asked them to harvest the field ? Where were they when he asked them to turn the mill stone ? Do you think people should get to enjoy the bread without putting any of the effort into making it ?



I would also say that if this is the point Slansky is trying to get across he isn't doing it very well at all. Perhaps it's my inability to grasp the point but it doesn't come across clearly at all to me. Also as Muze says if his point is that someone who is 95%+ sure about must be dumb cos they leave no possibility for the fact they could be wrong then I believe I can quite fairly call him a blatent hypocrite as in the thread Muze involving a discussion on NL Hod 'em Muze posted a few posts earlier for me Slansky seems unable to comprehend the fact that HE could be wrong about something and just refuses to back down and comes across as terribly arrogant and a twat in general. Is this not the exact same kind of behaviour he might be criticising in others ? Fancy that eh.
