A correct society grants Man his rights and protects them. They are deemed inalienable.Originally Posted by bad manners
What is the "human rights doctrine"? We may be arguing on different pages again. I support and am speaking from the viewpoint of laissez-faire Capitalism which is based around the rights of Man. I don't see how what you are saying about ignoring group relationships is part of that system.Originally Posted by bad manners
That is the roll of goverment. So, yes, I can see your point that society, the group, has power over the individual in this case. But only government is given that power by the people governed by it, that includes the criminals. If you do not wish to be governed by it, you are free to leave that nation.Originally Posted by bad manners
Within that society, no group has any more or less rights than any individual or other group.
