Lol
Water is also wet
Rights are meant to imply an absolute nature to them.
freedom of speech is predicated on the service provided by law enforcement
and courts
Yet you also can remain silent.
Fundamentally and factually, healthcare and college are services. They become rights under an authoritarian govt decrying that one individual must provide services to another.
Anything that is given by the government can be taken away by the government.
The government can take away more than it can provide.
i don't see healthcare and college as being particularly different from something like private property rights
Well, one's a physical object that you've staked a claim to, protected by the government.
One is about ownership whereas the other is not.
The other's a service rendered by an individual.
They're pretty different concepts.
in both cases the "right" is predicated on certain actions taken with object legitimating some claim over it, to say that, if somebody makes used of x type of resources they must provide y type of service isn't really very different
the claim to the object is predicated on service
@Uksio wheres your hair?
Except you don't have a "right" to property.
i can see so much skin
what do you mean kizza
You aren't entitled to property.
Just as you aren't entitled to healthcare or college.
These must be exchanged for capital.
Exactly.
Thus, they're not rights.
Because if they were rights, then homelessness would be considered illegal.
yeah but surely you think being able to own property provided you perform the correct kind of service is a right, right
No.
Something which you earn is not a right.
It's a privilege.
In simple terms, No Niggerism.

what's this? entitled kids arguing about 'rights'?
so do you think it would be okay for the government to say nobody is allowed to own any private property
Debating the difference between rights and services.
That would be stupid because then nothing is owned.
hmm. rights and privileges. products and services
you pay for services
@ManAnimal You are entitled to your smol pp privilege.
