Just my views, but thought I'd share.

No. Everyone has a potential value. Even the total wasters and sponges who contribute absolutely nothing to society still have a potential to do something worthwhile (Even if forced). Then of course, there is their worth for raw materials.

There is always a flaw in something, do we ignore them if we can't control them?

Depends on what the flaw is, and exactly how detrimental it is to the [insert whatever the flawed thing is].

Then there is the issue of the intelligence factor. If somebody is not as smart as somebody else, are they less valuable?
|
In general, yes. People of above-average intelligence are rarer than those of low intelligence. It is these people who advance the sciences, do the highly skilled work, etc. While it is important to have unskilled workers as well, the pool for these is much deeper, therefore they are less valuable.

Do they deserve less chances than the person that is given the smarts?
|
No. They deserve equal chances for education, etc. If able to progress, they should be allowed to. If not, however, they shouldn't be put forward along with those who can, solely for the cause of 'equal oppurtunities'.

Is it honestly fair considering some peoples upbringing and how it determines the rest of their lives.

Not really, but hey. That's life. You can offer someone education, but if they've been brought up to ignore it, that's their problem.

I have a kid in my school who in 5 years will get 1 million dollars out of his savings and another 5 mill in ten. He doesn't care about school and goes out and drinks himself practically dead. I work my ass off and haven't touched a drop. Where's the justice? He's gonna live/inherit a life of luxury and im gonna have to work my ass off to get anything. My family is just above poverty level, and it's unfair! We barely got this computer when he owns a fucking Ferrari Where's the justice?

There isn't any. Justice is just a concept, it doesn't naturally happen.
