  • Get this through your head!
    So-called 'rights' are EARNED through RESPONSIBLE behaviour!!!
    Should you wish to continue to spew these so-called 'human rights' all over the planet, then I will invite you to live in the mass starvation camps in Sub-Saharan Africa. There, you can tell all the people, who have little more than a food bowl, a water bowl, a tent and absolutely no hope for the future, all about their 'human rights'.
    The convicts themselves, have often (but not always) acted Unethically and Irresponsibly. They are a burden on society. It is not Unethical for an Ethical creature to make possible a condition where two or more Unethical creatures wish to continue to act Unethically. I am therefore in agreement (in principle) with the poster.
    Both imprisonment and capital punishment are Unethical, period. Perhaps, you might have some brilliant ideas as to how to correct this?

    In future, please do not use -ists or -isms.

    • Rights are not earned. I think that's pretty much the definition of the term "rights".

      Human rights: "The basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled". Note: ALL humans. ALL. Even convicts, even murderers, even rapists, even paedophiles. Even people who don't "deserve" them.

      Sorry, but you have GOT to be trolling.

      • So you don't you think a person can ever squander their rights, no matter how they behave?

        • For the purposes of this idea, yes. I think rights are rights, and rights apply to absolutely everyone. It's a lot more complicated in reality, but for the purposes of this idea that's all I'll say.

          • Rape offenders, perpetrators of rape, people who commit rape, etc.
            Rape is not an ideal.
            Please try to use your brain.

    • And who desides what RESPONSIBLE behaviour is? Society? The Government? What if you live somewhere where it's considered irresponsible for a woman to drive a car - Is it then okay for an "ethical creature" to kill such a woman because she has not earned her rights?
      Human right are for every human being and thats the point!

      • WE ALL DECIDE! THAT IS WHAT TRUE DEMOCRACY IS ALL ABOUT.
        WE NOW HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS TO IMPROVE OUR COMMUNICATION NETWORKS, SUCH THAT THE PEOPLE OF EARTH HAVE A REAL SAY IN DECISION MAKING.
