All people are not created equal

Take me for instance, I prefer working late afternoon, evenings and nights over mornings. I don't like making decisions without having time to review the facts and numbers so I can make an informed decision. I don't like not having control, and I strongly dislike minute to minute changes to my schedule.
I tend to prefer redheads or brunettes over blondes, and black lingerie over red or white. While I do like breasts, I do think I'm more of an "ass-man" and a cute/pretty face is a must. I like blue or green eyes over brown, and tend to look for women with a sense of humor, who challenge me intellectually but are not "ballbusters".
I prefer to watch documentaries, comedies or crime shows, not always in that order. I enjoy reading philosophy, sociology, psychology, but also sleezy crime novels, and the works of Stephen King. I do also enjoy some of the classics, mostly Hemingway, Solzhenitsyn and various adventure based novels like "Treasure Island".
I'm not a huge fan of "rave" music, with a few exceptions naturally, mostly because I believe you can find something you like in every genre.

I don't like organized religion, both because I believe faith is a highly personal thing, and also because I believe faith is easy to corrupt. I also don't like people basing their choices on what they think an invisible man in the sky likes, especially not on something as outdated as bronze/iron age texts.
I don't like that the terms "liberal" and "progressive" are considered negative words in politics these days, because in my mind humanity moving forward should be our goal as a species shouldn't it?
I don't like the term "conservative" either, mostly because I think "backwoods moron" is more suitable. Conservative literally means "disposed to preserve existing conditions, institutions, etc., or to restore traditional ones, and to limit change."

If you just look at that definition it hardly seems like a good thing does it? So one wishes to preserve the status quo which means no healthcare for all citizens, no plumbing, no dismantling of institutions or programs that do not work. No changes to social freedoms and so on.

I prefer beef or pork to chicken or fish, and some form of starchy carbohydrate accompanying it, and I would prefer a heavy sauce to go with it. Oh and an ice cold beer.
I'm for the right to choose abortion, I'm for the death penalty, euthanasia. Abortion because I believe its a mothers choice if she wants to carry something within her for 9 months, now it shouldn't be used as a means of contraception but how to accomplish that is a different debate.
I like the death penalty, not in its current extreme expensive form, but only in cases where the question of guilt is absolute. I also would prefer just shooting the fuckers in public to be honest, right on the courthouse steps after the final appeal runs out.
Euthanasia is something I support because I think that in cases where patients are terminally ill, keeping them alive is torture and a waste of resources. If a person who is going to die anyway wants to die a little sooner to spare him/herself some pain I don't see a problem with that.

On the same note I don't believe that living a long life should be the absolute goal. Sometimes its worth giving up a year or two to enjoy life. Sure you may live to be a 100 if you eat well, keep yourself in shape and so on, and even if you do get hit by a bus while out jogging at least those years living completely healthy felt a lot longer.

These are just a few of the many opinions I have, just because we are the same species doesn't mean we all think alike, want the same things or even remotely understand each other, like the guy at work who can't believe I only want late shifts. We may be created from the same matter, but still when we don't think and feel alike, assuming we are all equal just creates a world where everyone who doesn't share certain values are pushed down.

We can never have gender equality

Purely because it doesn't work in the favor of anyone. In my native country of Norway, feminism has nearly eradicated the feminine in women. The women here tend to curse, drink and fight just as much as their male counterparts while still holding the crown in psychological bullying.
We cannot have equality because to most men, women will never be truly equal. Do I mean in terms of salaries and career? No, I mean in the day to day life. I've had women tell me to my face things that would make me break a man in half, I've taken shit from women that I would never do from a man purely because I was raised never to raise my hand to a woman.
However "bitches" know that this is the case with most western men, so they keep exploiting it over and over again. A woman can get away with calling a man a dickless, useless piece of shit, but I had to take a sensitivity seminar and make a public appology for telling a woman "Stop being such a whiny bitch" now why did I say it? Because she was being a whiny bitch.

You see it used to be that women and men were not equal, and as a result women had certain benefits. Chivalry comes to mind, the instinct from a man to protect a woman, and countless others. Now as women have gotten more rights, men have gotten less, women have also adopted more "male" behavior. Drinking, smoking, cursing and sexual promiscuity.

Most of the women I do meet here in Norway represent more male values than feminine values. I'm a better cook than most of them, I can do all kinds of domestic tasks from simple laundry to ironing, in short I'm better suited to take care of people than they are. Now am I saying that taking care of men is a woman's job? No, I'm quite happy taking care of myself, however the values I feel deserve chivalry are gone. So chivalry is dead because women killed it.

If you read love poetry from the days of chivalry women are referred to as delicate flowers, angels, dolls, this hardly fits the women I know. For some reason screaming "Fuck off you motherfucking cocksucker" while swilling cheap beer is not the kind of behavior I feel should be rewarded with chivalry.
The same thing goes for who pays for a date, my rule tends to be if I ask you out, I'll pay, but I also pick where and what we are going on said date. If you ask me out then you pay, and you pick the restaurant.

I don't want some servant, but I do want a woman not one of my guy friends with tits.

Self-preservation

It's rather interesting how Anti-social personality disorder, I'll say psychopath, psychopathy or ASPD mainly in this text even though they aren't 100% correct in describing what I'm speaking of. What I'm thinking of is the human urge of self preservation, or rather preservatation of our genetic code. As the old people used to call it "passing on their legacy" or in an almost poetically literal sense; Their blood.
Whenever a new serial killer or spree killer pops onto the headlines people are shocked and appalled at what went on, they can't believe that a person could commit such atrocious acts. To me its as simple as self preservation at all costs combined with a predisposition of having no empathy.

Most of us have wanted to take "unethical" steps to get that promotion, that girl, the car or whatever we were after in that moment, but few of us act on those impulses. Sure we might want to put sugar in a gas tank, or kill that bloody mutt that keeps barking when you need to get up in 3 hours. The question is, what holds us back? What stops Jane and John from Acting on their impulses is it Law, a sense of right and wrong, empathy or is it fear?
