![[Image: Screenshot_20170105_104949.png]](https://s23.postimg.org/5xkq3owbv/Screenshot_20170105_104949.png) The illustration is pretty self-explanatory. Which are you more supportive of? and why? 
which of the 3 kids is paying for all the boxes ?
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

My answer: tear down that fence
 
The illustration combined with the question is incredibly misleading.
But if we're just talking about the kids on the boxes then I'm all for the option where they all get to look over the fence. Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them. Impersonation is treason.
It's a theft of services situation. Whoever brought the boxes is contributing to the delinquency of minors.
Additionally, the boxes are not equipped with handrails, safety restraints, or tipping preventers. The children, if/when injured would have cause to sue the provider of the boxes, and the owners of the facility for allowing an unsafe condition to exist on their property. That $20 million dollar salary of the 2d baseman ain't going to pay for life time care of a kid in a wheel chair. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
the fence is also an attractive nuisance
Lawyers take note! $$$ Ka-ching $$$ The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Well from what I can gather the illustration combined with the question is basically asking which is better, to share things out so everyone is equal or to have it so everyone has an equal share of something even though they aren't genetically equal which results in one person being left out. Obviously the right answer is objectively that equity is better, if that's how you define equity vs equality. The illustration is basically making that statement, it's not even really a question, it's pretty much rhetorical. Obviously looking at that picture equity is better. But in reality a situation relating to that sort of question has way more nuances than just some kids looking over a fence. Some people are hard done by, some people are . disabled, some people are lazy, some people are criminals, some people are blessed or cursed based on their parents good or bad decisions. (Not meaning blessed or cursed literally.) So in my opinion the question being asked is decent enough, but the picture doesn't just innocently explain the difference between equality and equity, it gives the answer which is better but in my opinion it's a simplistic outlook at the answer. Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them. Impersonation is treason. 
I think equity is what to strive for, but it gets complicated without making things unfair for certain folks. What we call "reverse discrimination".
