Do you know what your 'rights' are?

It's disgusting to see how words that should be respected and revered in our society are thrown around like they have no meaning. In politics specifically, we constantly hear of our basic human rights, but far too many of these "rights" we have no right to at all.

You do not have the right to health care. Despite what the democratic candidates for president might be saying these days, God never gave us a right to the luxury of health care and comfort. John Kerry recently said in a campaign speech, "Health care will not be merely the rhetoric of a campaign, not a promise made and lost ... we will at long-last make health care available and affordable a right, not a privilege for every American in our country." Appealing to a sense of human rights is good politics, but not good sense – do not be fooled.

You do not have a right to education.

You do not have a right to good food, though welfare is attempting to take care of that.

In the midst of problems in the economy, we hear from politicians who speak of a "right" to employment. There is no right to a good job.

What is the common problem with all of these so-called "rights"? Each one requires that the government facilitate and provide for these "rights" – something that is not the government's role.

The issue is not that providing food, health care, employment and education is a problem, except for it being unconstitutional. The issue is that if a government were to provide these social services, it brings everyone down to the lowest common denominator in quality.

Just look at health care in Britain and Canada – it's a wreck. Looking at the quality of the rest of our government, I somehow don't see how food and government-funded nutrition would be any better.

Additionally, it's insane to say that we all have a right to employment unless you want to open up the possibility that everyone work for federal and state governments. FDR took a stab at it, but our government was never intended to create and retain programs that employ millions.

Lastly, America is already an example of what happens when we look at education as a human right – our government educational system is in shambles.

In a free society, responsible people are required to help those less fortunate through charity, but when government assumes the role of charity organizations, a dangerous road is ahead.

You do not have a right to spam-free e-mail. You do not have a right to a salesmen-free phone line. You do not have a right to employment, food, health care or education. These things can be provided through a free market and the generosity of others, but it's not the government's role to provide them, unless you want a full-blown United Socialist States of America.

Moreover, when society seriously claims that these are "rights," you trivialize real human rights like free speech, freedom of religion and freedom of association – three examples of human rights that are under threat daily in our nation.

The preamble to the Constitution speaks of securing the "blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity." Too many today whine for phony human rights and are thereby degrading the blessings of liberty to themselves, their peers and the generations who follow them.

The bottom line is this: Do the people of America plan on being selfish – demanding these social services – or will they be responsible by laying these things on the free market and charity. One system has worked in the past, the other doesn't work – you decide.

A stupid person? On planet Earth? Are you sure? We are all intelligent creaters created in Gods image last I heard, so we should all be the greatest creaters to grace Gods great Earth.

I can still make myself laugh.

Jean Cretien begs to differ.

Thats what a mixed economy is for, like Canada.

Any problems about Canadian health care (IE people in the waiting room for 6 hours) were several years ago, only applied to Ontario, and the premier of Ontario, Mike Harris, is no longer in office. Canadian health care is not a wreck. Its flawless.

The Government of a mixed economy, like Canada, actually does fund farming industries to keep the food prices level. Meaning if there is a heavy drought in wheat farming territory, the government will fund the farms to compensate for their losses, so they dont increase the price of their wheat.

Frankly, the only economy that I see as a wreck is the USA, however, most people can pay for health care and food and education there, so it isnt too much of a problem.

I do find the idea of my taxes going towards the treatment of smokers with lung cancer or COPD, drinkers with liver problems and fat people with age onset diabetes (etc.) somewhat annoying.

The NHS is a mess. It's either kind of f cked if Labour get in again or completely f cked if the Tories get in.

I actually think not having a free (-ish) universal health care system to fall back on might do the attitudes of people in this country some good. Then again, it might not. Americans don't seem to look after themselves very well.

Meh. It's not like any noticeable fraction of what you pay in taxes goes to anything specifically, except maybe the military and space programs if you live in the USA. Personally I don't give a ****.. I work not so I can horde money and buy fancy things to make my life appear to be a ****e side less miserable, but so I can contribute to society. Hell if the government simply took care of my living expenses, I'd work pro bono publico.

Well, unfortunately this worthless miscarriage seems to represent "the quintessential american," at least as we see it from Europe. (Remember, every time Dubya takes a Texas-king-size shite on his own boot on TV, he also represents every american standing there with a fresh streak of excrement down his calf.) And to most americans I've actually met (on this and other internet forums and in real life): you have my sympathy. When our own prime minister publicly bends over and french kisses the big, hairy ass of Ariel "the butcher" Sharon because he took half a day off from his return trip to the terrorist-ruled streak of shit he calls "home" to visit our P.M's bumfuck hometown I myself am hit with such a flash of national shame I nearly start talking Swedish. So I know more or less how you feel.

And remember, if we assume that every life form on the planet strives for its own survival, it's only natural to also assume that people who's existence is directly threatened by liberal abortion laws will make every effort to counteract such legislation. So if you look at societies where distrust in the goverment and marriage between close relatives are common (as seen in 1: northern Pakistan, and 2: you-know-where), occational wastes of perfecly good proteins like this are only to be expected.

Please bear with my pitiful excuse for a real political rant, but I just got home from a night of heavy metal (War Pigs* RULE!) and -drinking, so a certain lack of eloquancy is only to be expected.

Well, I suppose it makes sense since we're rapidly catching up to Americans in childhood obesity, diabetes, ignorance, sh*tty healthcare and education, gun-control, stomping of civil rights, a pathetic, gutless wimp of a leader who sucks off Bush, we may as well call ourselves an American state :rolleyes:

You do realise that news.com.au is sensationalist tabloid crap that should be called "The Sky Is Falling Weekly Daily Edition", right? It's the Daily Telegraph online, which is owned by our friend Rupert Murdoch, who happens to own (you guessed it), FOX NEWS! :rolleyes:

Society can kiss my ring piece.

I work to benefit me.

People that f ck themselves up and then need long term medical care at the NHS (i.e. my) expense are surely taking more than they contribute.

Looking at all the Government drives and targets to get people to take their health more seriously the % that is going towards looking after these wastes of space must be starting to be noticable.
