What Constitutes a "Right?"

[Diuretic]

They Cooperate Because They Understand Natural Law better than You. You should spend more time at the Zoo.

The Understanding of Cause and Effect, in how it relates to You directly, is an understanding of Natural Law. The Feelings of Guilt, Loss Sadness, Inappropriateness, fear, Anger, Jealousy, are indicators and warning beacons. You get it and deny it in the same breath.

Actually I should nip down to the zoo, haven't been for years

Yes I feel emotions because my brain is working (it needs a bit of help at times but it's pretty functional) and my endocrine system is in tune with my brain, so I feel emotions.

Let Conscience Guide, All these years, and that is still the same.

Conscience does guide me indeed, I was properly socialised by my parents and developed a conscience. Without such guidance I wouldn't have a conscience, it doesn't come fully developed at birth.

Nothing "left", I guess.

Did Your Mommy drop you on your head again? This isn't about Left or Right, Unless You make it that. What does the brand of Tyranny matter to the Victim of it?

Take a chill pill dude, it was a joke.

A joke, comprende?

Your only flaw is in not recognizing the source of Conscience. Development comes from experience though, You are doing great. Just remember to choose Conscience over fitting in and you have another bridge crossed.

Now you need to be getting your mind out of the gutter americano.

Membership of any society confers rights. Being a member of a society means being aware of those socially confered rights. Any unreasonable infraction should be resisted.

Rights can't exist outside of society, therefore they aren't a prerequisite for society to be established.

The tiger doesn't have a concept of “rights”, merely instinct and learned behaviour. It acts on those. Those whom it acts against, other animals or humans, are simply being acted against, there is no violation of rights. A human defending themselves from attack from a tiger is not defending their right to stay alive and unharmed, they're actually trying to stay alive and unharmed.

I argue that real society is a result of us asserting our rights. Our difference may be irreconcilable. I don't think you're interested in convincing me (only in asserting your view without evidence and then offering limp refutation to my arguments), so I'm going to stop trying to convince you.

Yes, I agree that tigers have a more primitive reality than we do. No argument there. The person and the tiger may both be acting out of instinct, but the tiger would not seek vindication on the tiger if it survived the encounter. The person, on the other hand, feeling violated just might seek justice against the violator.

Awaiting your one sentence reply.

I hate to say this, I wish it weren't this way. I think a right is whatever you can claim. There is some validity to the thought that political power emanates from the barrel of a gun.....our own government does it to us everyday, and the only way they will stop doing it is if someone points a bigger gun at them. It's just not a part of human nature to recognize someone else's rights unless you have to.

So,

what about the divine right of kings?

Regarding the Gay Community, my advice is to come up with a different word of your own, come to agreement on it, and proceed from there.

I didn't realise a particular group of people owned the word "marriage"...

Don't straight people kind of own that one?

No. Why should they?

 

[The Rabbi]

Um, because its common usage has been between a man and a woman pretty much from the dawn of the English language.
Then again, "gay" has been corrupted too so maybe why not?

So. Things change. If they didn't, we'd still be living in caves rubbing sticks together.

Yes, language gets corrupted by the lowest elements in society. Why we should hasten that I don't know.
I did answer the question though.

OK. I have decided that the phrase "your stuff" now means my stuff.
