What, specifically, are these rights? If they are tangible, they can be listed, right? Whether you want to say "hold these truths to be self-evident" or "recognition", this is still denotes subjectivity - it is an opinion, since other people do not have the same view. |

I have a private family range and we have melons on the ranch.

You're just a touch far from Philadelphia, and the regulations for travelling with firearms by air are complex to the point that folks from the airlines don't typically know or follow them properly, from what I've heard from other's personal experience.

Radar, you are doing a fine job in this thread handling some pretty mystifying questions and addressing some baffling misconceptions.

The list is much shorter to say what are rights are not than what they are. Our rights aren't to be defined or limited by governments. In short, we have the right to do ANYTHING we want as long as our actions don't physically harm or endanger the person, property, or rights of non-consenting others. In other words, the only limitations on our rights are the equal rights of others. I don't know what country you are from, but here in America, the fact that we have human rights is axiomatic. It's a given. It is recognized not only in America, but throughout the vast majority of the world. All governments violate human rights to some degree including our own on an ever increasing basis, but nearly all of them also recognize the fact that humans are born with rights. |

Rights are not created by society, they are taken away by society. Is there a law that say you have the right to go to the Dairy Queen and get brain freeze? No, laws only take rights away, not give them. When a deer in the woods wakes up in the morning does it contemplate whether it can go here or there. No, it has the right to go where ever it wants until someone takes part of that right away by putting up a fence or something. It's the same for humans. When you wake up in the morning you can do anything you want unless someone has taken the right to do that away. Your rights are not like ethics, they are not analyzed and agreed upon. Laws are like ethics. Rights are natural and yours until they are taken away by society with it's laws/ethics. |
