Social justice : Comments

By Don Aitkin, published 17/5/2017

It seems to me that ‘social justice’ is best seen as an aspiration, and that we will never achieve it.

Your right. We, the children of the immediate post war period, were given great advantages over the children of today.
Sadly it appears to have been transformed into arrogance as its reward!

Joe..
I think you are looking at the problem of social injustice with one eye firmly shut, and the other up the chimney.
Cheers.

Hi ttbn,i think the right justice needs to be put in place, because things might still be the way it was if something is not done.

diver dan, i think you have a nice view about social justice, in my opinion no one should take advantage of the common any more and no one should be left behind.

Hi Rollyczar,

Yes, if people have put the effort in, they shouldn't be 'left behind'. But if they haven't, then frankly I don't give a toss about them, provided they are able-bodied and of reasonable mental competence.

If people don't make the effort, then they take the consequences. They are NOT owed anything. They can sit and wait all they like. History won't feel sorry for them, or wait for them, it will just keep rolling over, and their one-and-only lives will have meant nothing for the rest of eternity.

Joe
