There's a scene from the Kevin Sorbo Hercules show, a bunch of men are angry at a Centaur getting the work of 6 men, Hercules asks if he's getting the pay of 6 men.
how come no one said anything about how awesome this is?

True genius is always ignored by the masses, you are unique to have understood my brilliance.
But in other news, that Ask Amon tumbler is the greatest thing I've seen so far.

I expect that people wouldn't answer that because it's not really a good analogy. Regardless of the centaur's pay, he or she is getting a job in order to feed themselves and their possible families, as well as provide their children with an education. As for the six men who are now unemployed, they don't have any means of suporting themselves or their possible families. The centaur would also probably have the ability to negotiate getting the pay of like three men though, because that would still save his or her employer the cost of three men.
There's a reason why employers are required to accomidate disabled people in a workplace, even though it would be more efficient and cost effective not to accomidate them.
A better analogy would be if the non benders were people without arms and the benders were born with arms. It's not a perfect analogy, but it demonstrates the physical disparity between the two groups.
They're actually pointing this out to you, though it is easy to miss. When Tenzin's wife is discussing her pregnancy, one of the reasons she mentions for the pregnancy is that she wants a non bender child. She then says she would like at least one child who doesn't use their bending on her. That's a family with a mature bender to keep things somewhat under control. How about a family of non benders except for one bender child? If they were lucky, they wouldn't have any trouble, but if the kid decided they were better than the parents because they were stronger, the situation could be quite different.
In addition, Tenzin's wife probably would want a non bender child so there would be someone in the family she could actually feel connected to. As the only non bender, she's basically an outsider to all the bending activities that the others share. How many times has she been made to feel that there are some things she just wouldn't undestand because she's not a bender?
It would be so easy for benders to say to non benders that something is bender business only and needs to be handled just by benders, not just on a personal level, but a societal level as well. And bender business can be mostly anything a bender decides it is because bending is so much an important part of their society. That's even something in the real world. How many times have you seen one person tell someone else "you wouldn't understand because you're not one of us", or words to that effect. When that thought becomes prevalent throughout, you're going to have a lot of unhappy people who feel disenfranchised.
Throw in a charismatic orator to give that feeling focus, and there's Amon's power base.

You can definitely see the MMA-style influence from Mako in that clip.
That really had more to do with this page than the show.
the answer is NO because then you'll probably accidentally spread the Random rule all over the damn place
