You are not entitled to oxygen

You are not entitled to oxygen, in the same way that you are not entitled to food, shelter, healthcare, education, or any of those other things that people who get hot under the collar for "human rights," bray about. You want any of the aforementioned things, you work for them, or you sit on your bum looking sorry for yourself with your hand extended until some bleeding heart gives it to you. You are entitled to what you work for and nothing else, if development causes more pollution and climate change to happen? Tough shit, you'll just have to shuck out the dough for a gas mask or otherwise purchase your own space with clean air.

I own the oxygen on my property, I can do with it as I please. If I don't want you breathing it or exhaling in my presence, I am allowed to take measures to remove you from my presence. When you eat something stinky and displeasing to me, or you fail to demonstrate proper hygiene, what you are doing is violating the sanctity of my airways, forcing me to breathe in some piece of you against my will. This should rightly be seen as the violation of my right to privacy and property that it is, there is a slippery slope (a road to serfdom, if you will) in the socialistic doctrine that oxygen is something one is entitled to.

    I just farted, put that in your tank, and breathe it!

    • That's in your tank. You'd be the one to know how it smells.

    So where are these places where people are receiving free food, water, healthcare, and housing? You make it sound like it's so common everywhere else and that the only reason we don't have it is out of stubbornness and devotion to evil. You sound kind of retarded

      People who get more upset about the needy getting necessaries to survive instead of the disgustingly wealthy elites sucking the wealth out of the country and the average working people have an incredibly warped view on the world.

      A welfare queen in a mansion is still a welfare queen even if they go by Senator. I'd rather my taxes go help the struggling single mom on the verge of homelessness, like it's supposed to.

      My city got rid of a place called The Jesus Center to build luxury condos after a conservative takeover of the city council. It still exists technically but with way less resources than before. Not to get into a conservative/liberal debate, I just think it's interesting conservatives got rid of The Jesus Center for financial gain.

    So what? I'm not entitled to oxygen, but you are?! Did you make the planet? Did you invent oxygen and air? No, it's been on this planet for millions of years, so you can STFU! If you want to be a decent human being and increase the oxygen, go plant a tree. Man, you sound like one of those idiots that put on a mask when they drive alone in the car.

    So if you walk by my house, or business, are you gonna hold your breath? Because the air around my house/ property is mine...
    If yes - you're a moron.
    If no - you're a moron, but also a hypocrite.

    Man, I would love it if I had a neighbor like you. I'd park all of the vehicles I own on the street and idle them every day for 5 minutes just to piss you off, knowing some of "your air" is being burned by my vehicles for no reason. Maybe do some jogging too up and down the street, lots of nice deep breaths! And you can't do shit - because legally you can idle a vehicle up to 5 minutes in Europe and nobody can stop you from jogging.

    Also... quick science fact - You may not know this, but air moves about, so even if you "owned" the air on your property, the slightest breeze will take it somewhere else, outside of your property, replaced by air from somewhere else. Someone else's air.
    So "your air" is gone. Because it isn't yours!

    This is pure nonsense, it's like saying you own sunlight. You can't own that either, it's radiation and light emitted by a star!

      I think that the person's general point is that they don't care about climate change and pollution because "the poors aren't entitled to living". It's why they gave the gas mask example.

      "Oh, you don't have enough money to *not* breath toxic gas? Too bad. Die like those that can't afford food!." the OP screams from the rooftops before laughing maniacally.

      It's a stupid point, but the point nonetheless.

    I had my two bottom wisdom teeth removed because I fell off a horse and then busted my jaw twice and I blew my stitches out by vomiting too hard and then I threw up 4 more times and I can’t eat anything and my jaw hurts and I keep bleeding and when they put me under anesthesia I had a dream that an Ankylosaurus and a Nodosaur turned into the crumbly base of a cheesecake and when I came to I told my surgeon and he told me to stop talking so I insulted him by calling him a hotshot and when I did the wound cleansing mouthwash it hurt so I panicked and swallowed it like a shot and I made my wife stay home so she can watch me moan and groan dramatically all day

    • If you wasted good oxygen like that in front of me with all your dramatic noises and senseless ejaculations, I would bill you until you'd learn the value of silence (you are not entitled to silence, by the way).

        You'll bill him? What, you're gonna write "You owe ME X-amount of money for X-amount of oxygen" on a piece of paper and give it to him???

        Who do you think you are? King of the world? You don't have the power, or authority to do that. What Kholat can do with your piece of paper is wipe his ass with it.

        • I am King of the corner that I presently find myself situated in, that being, "my property." On my turf, I make the rules, including who shall be allowed to breathe in my presence. If there is some form of contract between me and other parties under my roof that all who use oxygen shall be charged proportionally, then any who do not leave the premises immediately will be assumed to be bound by said agreement. All oxygen should, effectively speaking, be privatized - privatization would lead to cleaner air, as one would be responsible for their own air, and have little reason to pollute their private air space. Those who want premium quality oxygen and have made the requisite contributions to society that would result in one having the sort of money necessary for the purchase of such oxygen would purchase it from a merchant or a firm, which would have the impact of creating jobs.

    • You are not entitled to breathe air, basically, and there happens to be some nitrogen that you have inhaled, you are not entitled to that either. You are not entitled to anything in the air that you breathe that you yourself didn't will about, including the very air itself.

    *takes deep breath* well, I'm happy God disagrees with you, at least for now.

    Humans want to be Gods so much. We are so much closer to the insects we squish under our feet than any God. Learn humility.

    What a weird perspective.

    Are babies not entitled to oxygen when they're born? Are you going to start going into hospitals where newborn babies are and smothering them?

    "You have done nothing to earn this."

    I do like your perspective though because it will quickly lead to the extermination of the entire human race if we all took that asinine mentality and it's probably better for the earth and other living creatures regardless.

      Did you just ask if babies should breathe? Of course babies shouldn't breathe! A baby breathing air is the most outrageous and disgusting thing I have ever heard. Everyone should just start going into hospitals and suffocate the little shits. No baby deserves the oxygen that other people have purchased.
