- Your rights are natural, no man can give or take them .
- Your rights are eternal. You have the same rights the day you were born as the day you die.
- Rights are universal, no man has different right than you because of physical location or political affiliations.
- Rights can be violated they can be protected they can be ignored or they can be respected, but they cannot be taken or given.
Natural, yes
Universal, yes
Eternal, no
At what point does one receive or at what point do you loose your rights?
Morality is an emergent order phenomenon, not the eternal laws of an omnipotent deity.
You're thinking of this in very black and white terms. Nature is not black and white. It is a continuum.
i never said anything about an omnipotent deity, as i do not believe in one.
emergent order phenomenon? as in what the collective says is your right is what your right is? im gathering your answer is your right to .......... you fill in that blank with what ever you hold most dear, began when the collective decided that it was your right?
lol you still don't get it. That's not even close to what I was saying. Blatant strawman.
Try again
Have you heard the phrase "the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts" or is this also foreign to you?
have you heard the phrase 6 to one a half dozen to another? i could go around saying little catch phrases but you are just avoiding the question. when does one gain or lose right?
You said
"Decide" implies conscious thought and intention, the complete opposite of what I was talking about. What you are asking is a loaded question.
