Society has no bearing on rights. Nor does the number of people who exist. Our rights are the same regardless of how oppressive a government we happen to be living under. Our rights are the same even if we're the only person on earth. If you believe our rights have anything to do with the society in which we live, or you believe rights have anything to do with morality, you are clueless. Our unalienable rights are self-evident and are as real and tangible as gravity. If you deny that they are self-evident and tangible, you are just a 'tard and a childish little troll as we discovered during our last conversation. I don't believe in god. I don't believe in magic. I do believe in rights because they are very real and tangible as I've proven many times over. You come off as a pseudo-intellectual wannabe who is over compensating for your woefully pitiful understanding on the subject. Perhaps if you would actually read a few books, you'd have a better understanding of our very real, tangible, undeniable, and unalienable rights. Start off by reading these... Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do - Peter McWilliams The Law - Frederic Bastiat Natural Law - Lysander Spooner Libertarianism in One Lesson - David Bergland Restoring the American Dream - Robert Ringer The Discovery of Freedom - Rose Wilder Lane The Ethics of Liberty - Murray N. Rothbard On Liberty - John Stuart Mill Two Treatises of Government - John Locke Declaration of Independence - Thomas Jefferson Man vs. the State - Herbert Spencer Essays on Freedom & Power - Lord Acton Civil Disobedience - Henry David Thoreau Then you'll be partially qualified to have a conversation with me on the topic of human rights. Until you've read those all twice and let them sink in, you know less than nothing about the subject.
