Being born, pretty much.

That's the one thing you can't control and the one thing that pretty much decides your life. (The first few years at least)

I think having your life planned out because you don't have to worry what you're going to do with the rest of your life if your parents\guardian already planned it out for you.

Born without some sort of disability, I've seen people who can't walk,speak,eat properly and have someone to shower them and go toilet with them every time.

And it's also one thing you can't control.

I don't believe any advantage or disadvantage is "unfair" I think it is what it is.

I didn't choose, and no one else chose. There are people better off than me and people worse off.

I find it unhealthy to view an advantage as unfair. You're better off to just deal with the fact that someone has it better than you and do what you can do to make your life what you want it to be.

Being born into a rich family with parents willing to spoil you until you die. I actually know a person who, after going to college, is living at home on his parents' dime. He has no job, doesn't plan on getting a job, doesn't pay rent, doesn't help out with chairs, and throws temper tantrums like a little kid every time things don't go his way.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

Basically anyone who wins that isn't me is being totally unfair.

Especially enemies in video games that automatically win because of plot.

appeal (looks, physical attributes)

being born into a rich family.

having a extroverted personality... (or just being able to socialize)

being femal.e

being a certain race or nationality.

having a up bringing were ur not limited by anyone, u can aspire to do what ever u want.

probably genetics is a huge thing... thats something i cant change no matter how hard i try.

Being born beautiful. It's something that you had no control over, but will impact your life majorly, for the better.

That depends in my opinion. Beauty can be a curse for some people. It can make you a target too. Little problems that can escalate fast in other words. A friend of my mothers was a model at one point. She was born beautiful and grew up in the same way but she would much rather have had average looks because of the problems she faced.

Having a natural talent for whatever they do. I envy people who don't have to try so hard. <<;
This usually ends up sucking for those people in the long run, because the going always gets tough, and if you've never had to struggle you'll get swept away with the tide.

Being born into a family with money is a good one. While it's true the child could end up going to spoiled, lazy route, they also at least have the opportunities, should they choose to seize them, to really thrive and develop as a person because their basic survival is covered. Many, many people struggle with the survival part and are unable to thrive. It sucks.

Being black, seems like you can really milk it these days.

Aye, I'm black but I couldn't give two shits about my race because I wasn't raised to be defensive about the colour of my skin. Can't say the same for others. A lot of blacks have a chip on their shoulder and I kind of get that because of the past but you can't blame the people of today because stuff that happened in the past. Have it in for racists, not races.

Wealth- it immediately gives you many more opportunities in life then middle class or poor people.

Health. I'd rather be healthy than rich and likely to die at anytime. Even though I agree money is a big advantage that we can absolutely call unfair.

Being born rich. You can just make a vacation of life while the others just fight every day to survive.
Second is being born a nice looking woman. You can just fuck with everybody, ether literally or metaphorically.

Your health pretty much depends on your money this days.
Poor man get sick with no money for big treatments. Fuck him, his poor no one cares. Rich guy gets sick? Whole fucking scientific community going up and down to save him.

Growing up in a village where there happen to be a large number of girls who you befriend throughout your childhood, who develop such deep rooted feelings for you that even when you move away only to return in your freshman year of high school, they all remember promises to marry, or become your girlfriend even if you have no recollection of it what so ever.

Maybe being born without a disability because you have no control when it comes to that stuff.

Money opens so many doors. Children raised in wealthy homes get so many more resources, can afford tutors, better schools, etc.

Wealth is always an unfair advantage when it comes to schooling.

And we are now in the process of entering the age of the gays.
True and true. Interesting to think about.

Yeah, its a shame really, because in the 70's, racism was really prevalent against minorities, the wounds are healing, but some unfortunately all those years of white oppression by a dwindling population of white supremacists has led to a backlash which is now out of place.

Still, the occasional story on police discrimination and brutality makes me kind of question all the white people talking about what it's like to be black.
