The Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany holds the principle of human dignity paramount, even above the right to life. (wiki)

Posted by StoicGoatPosted by NotYourAverageAquariusPosted by feby16aqua
We have the right to our 5 senses: to see, to feel, to hear, to taste and to touch. Some even believe in a 6th sense and even more than just 6 to be exact, proprioception is one of them.
Most of us attain and acquire knowledge due to our 5 senses. It is our way to collect data about our surroundings in order to process it and make decisions. With just any one of them missing we struggle, any loss is a handicap.
Technically if they couldn't be taken away I'd agree but definitely three of them can most certainly be ruined on purpose by tyrant government if they were to detain and choose to do so. The three main ones I'm thinking of that could easily be eviscerated from your body would be:
Sight - All one would have to do is simple gouge them at and presto no sight that you supposedly have an inalienable right to.
taste - Another easy one to get rid of just cut out someone ones tongue not only ripping from their body the source by which the taste but you also take away their ability to speak!
Hearing - This I'm guessing would be a little harder but I'm sure if playing really loud sound at high intensities did not do the job on your eardrum... they could always poke your ear with a nice point object till the dead was done
Scent - is possibly not easy to get rid of I'm not entirely sure if you care to argue that it never can be.... I'll be glad to look up away that it could ^.^
Honestly, the only sense I think you could honestly say everyone has an inalienable right to would be the sense of touch BUT even then if you wanna get extreme, an oppressive government that likes to torture individuals could intentionally break your neck without killing you so that you essentially loss all feeling below the neck...I would presume that feeling is still present above the neck if you are still alive lol.... SOOOOOO the sense of feeling above the neck I suppose you could get away with being inalienable until death true..THAT BEING THE ONLY ONE THOUGH and only being contingent because if it were taken you would be dead.
Don't you have a right to not have your senses taken from you?click to expand

And furthermore isn't this debate about Human Rights that do or do not transcend Government regulation? I mean I guess since I view that their are Human Rights that do transcend regulation... and from I understand so does Feb essentially the debate has sorta transformed into what Human Rights actually do transcend regulation and which ones don't.

If it's governed, then it's not a human right, it becomes a privileged right by the government, and vice versa.
Human rights would have to designate any and all rights that are not regulated. They belong to you.

But genetically modified crops effectively corrupt the entirety of similar food stocks. For all intents and purposes, there is no amount of money I can part with that will enable me to acquire corn, wheat, etc. that has not been genetically altered. Do I not have a right to purchase and consume food that has not been genetically modified to include resistance to Round-Up?
Yes, you have the right to grow your own food and live off the land, don't you?

That's for you to defend whichever way you choose. I'm just asking. 🙂

Posted by StoicGoat
But, say, I want to live off the land by hunting for deer or rabbit or turkey. Most countries regulate what you can hunt, when, and by what means, so even if this qualifies as a human right, I certainly don't see where I am free to exercise it.

Hey man all I'm asking is "Who's stopping you from breaking the LAW" If I wanted to I could break any regulation I saw fit right now.

NYAA, I didn't say, I asked.
What about education? I recall one of your posts quoting the UN something or other mentioning education as a right. Is it? Why/why not?
Posted by NotYourAverageAquarius
Article 26.
(1) Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory. Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit.
(3) Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children.
I only bold the part of (1) which does 'absolutely' apply to truly being inalienable. I don't mention section (2) becuase it falls under the area of regulations but I mention (3) becuase you can ultimately be teaching your kids w/e you want at home... no government is going to be able to stop you from doing that unless they take you and put you in jail or take your kids away from you. And what they don't know can't and won't hurt them... (well could maybe hurt them depending on what your teaching I suppose).

Do we really think this nation was created by a bunch of people who had no 'control', no free will, no inherent inalienable rights that no one can give you.... you just have no matter what the constitution or the UN defines them as?click to expand



Posted by StoicGoat
But education can't be free. Whether parents pay out of pocket or the funds are confiscated from tax payers, someone has to pay for it. Does a tax payer not have the right to not be compelled to pay for someone else's education?

Posted by feby16aqua
Self-education though, is a human right. No one can stop you from learning in even the smallest capacity.

Posted by NotYourAverageAquarius
I suppose to my purpose for mention that article on education Stoic was this reason ....but also that if you kid is at home and your the teacher, then you are the one who has the greatest control of what it is your kid learns.

I like this, but it has nothing to do with whether education is a human right. 😛

I suppose I could see how IF there was a regulation abolishing home-schooling. But I mean still, unless they are like keeping accurate records of attendance for who does and does not attend school, whose gonna stop you from keeping your kid home and homeschooling them... especially if you don't live in a big city?

Posted by feby16aqua
A human right is entirely yours in its capacity. No one can tell you how to use it or regulate it for you.

b... all articles of human rights I posted where those that required you to make a choice. Implying that the one who actually has the power is you, not the regulator. They just try to keep your power in check.
Any other article mentioned that did not involve you making a decision to submit or rebel is then honestly an absolute human right that cannot even be remotely restrained. Not even incarceration can restrain your exercising of the right such as the following:

Article 15.
(1) Everyone has the right to a nationality.
(2) No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality.
I don't know why but this just seems stupid to me... like you can actually tell me where I did and did not come from as if it never happened or something.
Only you can can accept someone's decision to tell you that you are not from where you are originally from... they don't have the power to do that. They cannot control your brain.
Posted by NotYourAverageAquarius
Article 18.
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.
Thanks United Nations I had no Idea I could keep my thoughts from you and everyone else in this world. -_-click to expand
I mean obviously this all resides in the mind of the of the oppressed, you and you alone can control your mind and what it is you want to think.

Posted by NotYourAverageAquarius
Article 19.
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
The idea that a government could opress you with laws and regulations about what you can and cannot have opinions about is ludicrious. Even if you hypothetically followed there laws as in.... you never at least expressed your opinion, there is no way for them to rob you of that opinion. That opinion is and will always exist and it will always be yours till the day you die. Your opinion is created by your brain that no one but you have control over. Logically speaking, it is your right as a human to have the control of your own brain till you are killed or seriosuly subjected to trauma of the skull that rendors you a vegetable.... but are you even a human anymore at that point? In a vegetable state does anyone actually have intelligent thoughts? I mean technically speaking almost all MD's consider that to be brain dead is as good as dead. If you have to kill something to have control of it how can you say you ever had control of it? Furthermore any government thinking they can control society to not express their opinions is just retarded.....expressing an opinion is an action that cannot be controlled without incarcarating the entire population which inturn trumps that governments power because, all of their so called 'power' is incarcarated. LOL think about it jeez

But a law or regulation can be made about anything, though.
yes, and as long as it is not regulated by law, it is a human right within this discussion, no?click to expand

Posted by feby16aquaPosted by NotYourAverageAquarius
Also I never quite got a confirmation from you Feb on whether you thought the 'right to life' was a Human Right that transcended Government regulation and is inalienable.....
I do think it is a human right. But at the same time, shouldn't it be regulated to ensure sanctity of the right?

But Stoic, please tell me, why do guys ignore the girls they like?

I should have made one of the debate topics something to do with dating!
That is a difficult question. They could be afraid the girl doesn't reciprocate their attraction or afraid of general ridicule for liking a particular girl their peers hold in disdain. It is possible they are idiots and don't realise that communication is one of the more successful means be which boys have historically established relationships with girls they fancy. It's possible that the girl being ignored by the guy she thinks likes her has entirely fabricated his attraction to her. Or any of a nearly limitless number of possibilities that are lost in the discussion between love and reason.
Inexplicably, I have noticed that a boy who ignores a girl generally appears to have a significantly greater chance of engendering her interest in him than he would have had he openly pursued her. Now I'm going to turn the table on you: why is this the case?click to expand

Funny if you consider what the criteria for an Anarchist to consider you or themselves to be human:
The more enlightened man will become, the less he will employ compulsion and coercion. The really civilized man will divest himself of all fear and authority. He will rise from the dust and stand erect: he will bow to no tsar either in heaven or on earth. He will become fully human when he will scorn to rule and refuse to be ruled. He will be truly free only when there shall be no more masters.
Interesting.

I can tell you how it goes with me.
If I like someone and they give me a little, but mostly ignore me it drives me crazy, but it's not an instant cray, just gradual until I explode or get what I am looking for: it's always attention (and I think I can speak for women here, but they may not admit it).
If he doesn't pay me as much mind as I'd like him to I'm wondering: "why is he doing this?" "how can he not like me?" "wtf f yo life I hate you but why don't you pay attention to me?" The more intrigue a man has about him, the more women will be curious about him, about unlocking that vault of manly secrets.click to expand

Okay so then....... you don't think that the 'right to life' is a human right that 'transcends' government regulation?
