-DVD Version: P1. The Nature and Origin of Human Rights

The True Debate of Our Time

***NEW DVD Version***

An animated series exploring the substance behind the political terminology used in contemporary debates.

The research of Mr. Edward G Griffin reveals how all viewpoints can be stripped down to 2 basic positions.

Discover how the different approaches of Collectivism and Individualism impact on all aspects of our lives, from human rights, governmental authority and the use of force.

Part 1 of this series will show where rights are derived from. Does an individual have rights simply because a law gaurantees them? It is important to determine where rights originate from, both for governments and individuals because the universal rule is: A rights source determines their nature. Where does the justification for protecting those rights come from and where does an individual or government claim their authority from when they exert force over others in protecting those rights?

@zonsb sorry i miss read you.

@CASLUVR Circles = squares?

[CASLUVR]

@zonsb agreements = arguments?

[zonsb]

Rights are a product of reason. Go into a jungle and try to reason with a tiger or a virus and see if you can get them to agree with you.

Why don't animals have agreements? Because they don't have the ability to reason.

“I’ve often wondered whether the difference between mankind and animals is not so much the ability to reason as it is the ability to rationalize.” -- Milton Friedman

@zonsb If the source of rights is by mutual agreements then whose agreements. In the jungle rights, even the rights of tigers and viruses, are there honed to its fines point. Every creature has the right to survive the question is do they have the ability.

[WinsomeVagabond]

@WinsomeVagabond The specifics are finalized by interesting discussion and ability.

[WinsomeVagabond]

Definitions:

Responsibility = That which an individual must do to survive.

Right = something and individual can do for themselves without the aid of another.

Duty = Is the choice and individual makes to support, aid, and/or protect another individual's responsibilities and rights.

You have a responsibility to eat but not a right to food without effort. You have a right to produce and gather food for yourself. You may choose through your efforts to feed another.

[zonsb]

The source of rights are agreements/contracts among men and women. Go into the jungle and see if tigers,snakes and viruses acknowledge rights. Agreements are the source of rights, not battles and wars. Wars are for ruling class elites that start wars and dupe people to fight the wars.

If you own yourself then you can say no thanks to ANY offer. People in government and the lame-stream media refuse to acknowledge that.Government is men and women providing services at the barrel of agun.
