2018-11-03 23:46:58 UTC  

shame

2018-11-03 23:47:04 UTC  

🤣

2018-11-03 23:47:05 UTC  

Cetronius was a man, cough cough ** robot ** cough cough, ahead of his time.

2018-11-03 23:47:24 UTC  

But seriously, positive and negative rights

2018-11-03 23:47:29 UTC  

^^

2018-11-03 23:47:47 UTC  

if you cant get it on your own, it's not a right, change my mind

2018-11-03 23:48:09 UTC  

The only rights you have, are those you take for yourself

2018-11-03 23:48:11 UTC  

I remember he’d rant to me about the mods at like 2am

2018-11-03 23:48:57 UTC  

There are only 3 rights, @Deleted User

2018-11-03 23:49:07 UTC  

This is what I got

2018-11-03 23:49:36 UTC  

Rights are something you protect with a gun

2018-11-03 23:49:40 UTC  

if it requires someone else to do it for you, it's not a right

2018-11-03 23:49:47 UTC

Rights, Privileges, and necessities are not the same things

2018-11-03 23:51:21 UTC  

“While education may not be a "fundamental right" under the Constitution, the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment requires that when a state establishes a public school system (as in Texas), no child living in that state may be denied equal access to schooling.”

2018-11-03 23:51:21 UTC  

(and not privilege in the social justice sense)

2018-11-03 23:51:32 UTC  

It's a privilege

2018-11-03 23:51:52 UTC  

Just like citizens are not denied equal access to any other public service.

2018-11-03 23:52:05 UTC  

But that isn't to say you can't be expelled from a public school.

2018-11-03 23:52:10 UTC  

kids should work in the mines if they want education

2018-11-03 23:52:33 UTC  

>when a state establishes a public school system
So don't establish one

Private schools are costly, less kids would be in school

2018-11-03 23:53:23 UTC  

You just can't think of any new ways of doing the same thing, @Deleted User

2018-11-03 23:53:30 UTC  

Not if everyone paid into them.

2018-11-03 23:53:41 UTC  

And there was free market competition.

2018-11-03 23:53:54 UTC  

Education used to be done by charities as well

2018-11-03 23:54:10 UTC  

and it used to be cheaper

2018-11-03 23:54:23 UTC  

Public education in the United States wasn't supposed to become the bemouth that it is.

2018-11-03 23:54:38 UTC  

@Deleted User How is it, that most of our founding father had middle school educations?

2018-11-03 23:54:48 UTC  

isn't there a case that government assistance made college more expensive?

2018-11-03 23:54:54 UTC  

there is

2018-11-03 23:54:59 UTC  

Where?

2018-11-03 23:55:00 UTC  

and it is very economically sound

2018-11-03 23:55:07 UTC  

The basics of the argument are

2018-11-03 23:55:10 UTC  

as follows

2018-11-03 23:55:27 UTC  

@Fitzydog a number of different factors

2018-11-03 23:56:23 UTC  

And why are kids less educated today, than similar ages decades ago?
