Of responsibility and resposibility

It is interesting that when we have have things we have things that belong to us and others have no right on them but when we don't have then its fair game to try to have ...

Well then comes responsibility....when you are born in a comfy place you are not responsible to what is happening in a non-comfy place and its the responsibility of those born there to make that a comfy place. But then according to this argument one is responsible for the crime of one's grand parents or parents it seems. Hence the descendants of slave masters should not be enjoying the riches that come from such crimes.... but then where do we stop and where do we start paying back dues.
Is it possible....is there a standard ?

Who pays the debt of one's fore-bearers and who pays back the crime or restitute the booty of thefts of others' fore-bearers ?

Is it possible .... or shall we wipe all the slates and say we are all citizen of the world and start afresh now...with equal opportunity to all.... sure its hard to say what an individual will do (or not) with an opportunity but we have to be better in letting the door open for every one ...where ever you are from and not doom any one because of one's accident of birth...

Patriotism is a crime against humanity just like racism or religious superioritism (you know what i mean) or political absolutism/supremacism.

And using too many "ism"s in one sentence is a sure sign of lack of brain mechanism.
