All of your rights are basically provided solely by the labor of others. Everything that you consider a right is provided and maintained by someone else. You expect, as a citizen, that any infringement on your rights will be rectified by the labor of police, judges, politicians, and the entirety of the administrative staffs that keep those bodies running. That idea that people’s rights exist actually required that new forms of labor be developed. Government is a form of labor that you’re entitled to.
Human rights are a recognition of a human's ability to defend themselves combined with mutually assured destruction. If you attack one's right to live, own property and live a prosperous life, they will have no choice but defend themselves, as the alternative is death. Even the weakest person will have no choice but oppose even the strongest attacker. And no matter how weak they are, they can still do harm. In the end, if people fight like this they kill off more and more of each other, at which point any neighbouring group will kill them all, the strongest and the weakest together, because they are much stronger without the internal fighting. Civilizations without laws and traditions that uphold the rights of individuals simply go extinct.
Who’s idea was it to coin the phrase “human rights”? Does it mean our leaders/government are not humans but non human species who decided to allow us exhibit our innate God given humanity rights when they decided to rule/control our lives, so they could withdraw those rights at a given period if/when they decide to infringe on them at their whims? Humanity currently have rights, except the ridiculous dictatorial, totalitarian & tyrannical coercive laws from those off planet entities passing themselves off as world leaders...
The Heritage Foundation serves the interest of the wealthy and the powerful. Every word spoken here is disingenuous, self-serving, and opposed to the the public good. We live in the wealthiest country in human history. We can and absolutely should have a government that provides for high-quality public education, universal healthcare, affordable housing, a clean and health environment, equitable wages, etc. Those will remain out of reach while the Heritage Foundation runs cover for the insatiable greed of billionaires. The Heritage Foundation is utterly uninterested in you and your well-being.
@@angelozachos8777 Heritage is ONLY interested in wealthy donors. They are almost as bad as Heartland, another shill organization. ALL far right-wing orgs are for the wealthy but prey on the weak minded. Wake up.
Human rights only exist within those willing and able to defend them.
So healthcare cannot be a human right, because one cannot have a right to the labor of another
Should GENDER-REASSIGNMENT be a health-care human right provided by government? 🤔

A brilliant man.
Is there a link to the the whole talk?

You have no rights - George Carlin
All Rights come from Natural Law. Many philosophers including this guy neglects this.
Out of curiosity, how would you contrast that with what he's saying?
I'm curious. What are natural laws? I mean, what is your interpretation of them?

This is nonsense. And of course by "government" you actually mean "tax payer".
