Equal opportunity Quote by Jeremy Limn
“''The Government tell us to lift, okay then if that is the case is there 23 million jobs in Australia minus those locked up, available for every human being? Should we lift you? No we shouldn't lift you if you won't lift us up at the same time.'' ''Materialism is the downfall of the human species, you speak of equality and equal opportunity.'' ''The thing is that we're mammals and we can't be contained forever we have impulses and instinctual drives.'' ''The sad thing is that we're our own predator that we contain each other control each other.'' ''In nature there is always a predator eating other animals but we will be gone one day because that is the way nature works.'' ''Because we eat each other and we also eat other animals.'' ''It is okay to deny the science, because in biology an ecosystem must maintain an equilibrium or the ecosystem dies out.''”
