 What are basic human rights? I think that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness sum it up. So that would mean everyone deserves
Food
Clean water
Shelter of some sort
To be treated the same as everyone else
Some clothes
K-12 education
Treatment for illness
I don't think I missed anything?

Re: What are basic human rights? Oh, and the ability to do what you want as long as it hurts no one else.

Re: What are basic human rights? lol. "Human rights". Load of man-made bullshit. No human has rights as a matter of existence to be brought up as an argument for lack of anything. It should be called "First World Entitlement".

And you don't feel people should be treated unfairly? lol. Dude, the world would not work if people were treated fairly. I think you meant to say "mistreated", as in to be treated badly, but just to be treated unfairly shouldn't at all be a concern of yours. _________________STOP UIGHUR GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG

Re: What are basic human rights? Civilization's goal since Hammurabi's Code of Laws has been in an enteral quest to achieve a fair society.

Re: What are basic human rights? By keeping it vague, you get around being specific. That's what you guys do.

Re: What are basic human rights? Algren wrote: We also want to fly and to populate Mars, but some things are just impossible. Right, so why even try? What's the point of attempting to make the world better for our fellow human beings if we can't do it 100%? I mean, if we only make it somewhat better for most people, well, dammit, we've failed. Might as well give up. _________________Buy my books! http://michaelaventrella.com

Affordable access to healthcare. Tom Brady and Alex Smith are both Pro Bowl NFL quarterbacks that play 60 minutes once a week. They should be paid equally, right?

Re: What are basic human rights? Male pornstars are paid less than female pornstars. For heterosexual fucking, shouldn't they be paid equally?

Re: What are basic human rights? If the Dallas Cowboys had two starting QBs, that had the exact same stats, and played the exact same minutes, yes. They should be paid equally.
Arguing one person at one company performing at a higher rate than another person at another company should be paid the same is insane.
But if two people are hired, to do the exact same job, yes, they should make the same if they have the same qualifications.

Of course, this is assuming they are doing equal tasks, have the same screen time, etc etc. If the female/male is doing more, or is more sought after by consumers, then they should make more. _________________trixster wrote: shut the fuck up zwackerm, you're out of your fucking element trixster wrote: chippy is correct
