You don't have any "rights" - what you have is power. You have the "right" to do anything you can do without someone else stopping you from doing it. Calling it a "right" just gives a sort of fabricated dignity to the act of asserting your will.

So, no power, no rights.

The more power you have, the more rights you have.

That sounds about right to me.

Aliantha · 11-14-2008, 12:58 AM

(if you're wondering what I'm talking about, just do a search using the words Radar and rights) lol...again.

Juniper · 11-14-2008, 01:09 AM

It's OK. I love debating poli sci.

Aliantha · 11-14-2008, 01:13 AM

Uhuh...lol That's great.

Have fun with it.

Juniper · 11-14-2008, 01:14 AM

OK, have searched, now see what you're saying. Something about having a battle of wits with the unarmed?

Nothing could be further from the truth. Radar is an ideologue, and a fundamentalist, and he and I frequently disagree, but he is not witless. Strap in.

Aliantha · 11-14-2008, 01:15 AM

Well, let's just say that it's one of Radars favourite subjects, and he likes repeating himself. Most of us have given up getting involved in it.

I would liken it more to arguing with a deaf man.

No offense intended, Radar, that was just my impression.

Aliantha · 11-14-2008, 03:12 AM

If Radar wants to be offended, that's his right.

It's your right not to care.

Aliantha · 11-14-2008, 03:12 AM

Oh...and it's my right to be amused.

I got my first Cellar ass-kickin' arguing inalienable rights, iirc.

Aliens should have the same rights as anyone else. Only, I don't like the way things started out in MARS ATTACKS! Not very friendly, if you ask me.
