    That's cause you're lazy.

    I guess things must be different in finland. If you can't afford classes that better you, you're not lazy. Most people who don't go to prep schools and colleges because the can't afford it work 50+ hours a week. That's not lazy in any dictionary I know.

      Emperor, I'm not getting into that with you, because you refuse to see what I meant.

      I said the ones who complain that they are in unequal position to the few who goes to these classes are lazy. They have as good chances as everyone, and instead of concentrating on how few people are prepping with pros, they could be reading the books. That reads lazy in my book.

        What does equal mean, Pekka?

        A having advantage over B means they are unequal, at least in the context where A has the advantage.

          Well if we really dig in there sure. But realistically I don't think it means that. There are always advantages and disadvatanges. In this case, case of classes, I think the word excuse instead of unequality.

          Person A and person B has the same amount of time to prepare, get the same books and have the same exam. It's as equal as it can get.
