The word deserve is thrown around a lot. I love how you constantly hear about how much random strangers deserve something. Like they just deserve it for existing. Especially kids. What has any kid done to deserve anything? Life isn't fair but when you starting telling people they deserve something it makes it look like it is when it's really not. I call things like they are and I tell people they "get" stuff not deserve. This is why we need a pure communist government so people actually do get what they "deserve". And end the lottery. I can't think of anyone less deserving of anything than the average lottery winner.
