Why don't Americans fight for human rights and liberty here at home instead forcing "freedom" on others?
Q. Patriot Act, income tax, property tax, asset forfeiture, endless regulations that no one can comprehend. We have been losing freedom here so why are our dear leaders and the lapdog press so worried about elections and women's rights half way around the globe?

A. I agree. I was just thinking about that this morning. Why did Americans send money by the millions to Indonesia for the Tsunami? Our government sent double what we sent, but Katrina victims, those also in Galveston, Texas from their hurricane, only got their insurance people, a handful of volunteers, and the Army corp of Engineers and SOME federal aid to help them recover.

How can human rights really exist if they are just made up by humans?
Q. if God is out of the equation...why should anyone have rights...where did the concept of human rights even originate if not from Christian thought... "Christianity and nothing else is the ultimate foundation of liberty, conscience, human rights and democracy, the benchmarks of Western civilization. We continue to nourish ourselves from this source."' Jurgen Habermas, "A Time of Transition" Another Christian concept, no less crazy: the concept of equality of souls before God.

A. You are right and wrong at the same time. The concept of human rights is Humanist, not Christian. However, Humanism is basically Christianity secularised. In Christian-Platonic terms, Christianity believes in a God and an Idea of the Good. In other words, its answer to the Euthyphro dilemma is that what is morally good is commanded by God because it is morally good. Compare Spinoza: "I confess that the theory which subjects all things to the will of an indifferent deity, and asserts that they are all dependent on his fiat, is less far from the truth than the theory of those, who maintain that God acts in all things with a view of promoting what is good.

The Christian vilification of gay relationships as alleged sin (Christian dogma) is one area where Christians deny gay people their dignity and try to enforce their Christian beliefs through legislation.

So I need an example of where this human right is violated. Like in a country,city,continent. Or in a government, media of a country, etc. Does anybody have a current day example of this. Also, I need an example of where it is used. I was going to say the US, but the freedom of expression and opinion isn't guaranteed by the human rights declaration, it is guaranteed by the Constitution. So what is another present day example of where this right is protected other than the US. Long detail, sorry. And please give me correct info as this is for school. Thanks, I know it… [cont.]

Do you think that when China eclipse the US, the world's standards of human rights will devolve?
Q. Do you think that China's ascendancy will spark a "race to the bottom," with other nations having to shed liberties to keep up? Or is it more likely that once Chinese citizens become more affluent, they will become more vocal and demand their natural rights? Yes, China may not engage in the wholesale slaughter of its citizens Pol Pot style, but that's just good business. Any freedoms that are even slightly harmful to the bottom line are shunned. What about freedom of the press, freedom of religion (theirs is a joke), freedom from unreasonable search and seizure, etc?

A. If China will become the next superpower, their shady and oftentimes brutal dealings with its own citizens will be more observed by other nations. I dont think the world will be more receptive of let us say, Chinese soldiers having their bases all around the world, acting as "world policemen" like what the US military is right now. Their communist ideology will make them look like a force that is always trying to convert a host country into their way of life.

Terrorists who do not give a hoot for human rights and who murder and rape innocent?
Q. women and children, are afforded all the civil niceties and privileges of our ultra liberal bleeding heart society. Even to the extent that it is preferable to endanger innocent civilians rather than hurt a terrorist or use torture to find out their dastardly cowardly plans. Is this what our veterans wanted when they died in various wars to protect our civil liberties. Is it moral that we value their feelings(the terrorists) over our lives, they who feel no remorse and live only to die and murder and harm others who do not share their fanatical beliefs.?

A. For shame, you are not being politically correct and might make one of those terrorists cry. Look at the way most of the media has treated the Ft. Hood shooter. Poor man, was stressed and had been bullied. Boo Hoo. Only a Liberal can turn a terrorist into a victim. Now Obama has given them a world stage, putting us more at risk, just so they can spew their hatred. We had all better wise up and stop giving into all this PC dung before it destroys us all.

Has america lost respect for HUMAN rights?
Q. It seems to me that America is facing two big problems, and both have to do with the evolving way we view human rights: 1. Middle east policy (the senseless deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent arabs); and 2. Immigration. It seems to me those who advocate that arab blood is less valuable than american blood and those who oppose immigration are the same people- those who do not beleive that ALL individuals have the same rights. It seems people either feel for Iraqis because you know they're people too, or you think they're all terrorists with no rights... It seems people either support an immigrants right to work and live where he pleases, or feel that people should have to jump through "hoops" to have the basic human right of… [cont.]

A. I don't think America EVER had respect for human rights. Remember the slaughter of the Native Americans?! That was America's first human rights atrocity, and it has continued right through to this day. America's policy in the Middle East is simply what they did to the Natives writ large.
