Do you think...

every human should be given certain basic rights?
And how far should we take that?

isn't freedom from discrimination part of justice?

partly, however things like hate crimes laws sometimes end up with unjust outcomes....I put those up there like that for a reason, which I will tend to later.

I can't imagine living in a place without at least 3 of the 4. On second thought, my idea of justice may not be the same as someone else's. I'd have to say freedom of speech. At least then, you could really tell someone what you thought of them.

my preferred definition of justice is "Conformity to truth, fact, or sound reason", and i'll choose that.

The founding fathers didn't set a poll as to which "god given rights" that Americans should be entitled to.

Freedom of speech is necessary even now to debate these things.

Freedom from discrimination is something that everyone should be entitled to, without option.

Justice is the outcome when all civil rights of all people are respected and defended.


PS Poll is very cool option! (as long as we don't get carried away)

None of you should have rights, you are all truly destined simply to be my slaves. Kneel.
