nemu 06/17/20 7:04:16 PM #7:	marc55 posted... why not ? isnt this how the UN called it ? The core of human rights is basically just to exist as an independent entity without having the government inhibit you, up to a point. There are various branches from that, but you don't really have an inherent right to physical things or services from others. You have the right to pursue them without being impeded, up to a point. Those are separate rights come from the collective foundation of a government. <cite>nemu posted [p:940827212] in Should acc...

wackyteen 06/17/20 7:29:18 PM #13:	Questionmarktarius posted... How is that forbidding? Not forbidding but pretty telling when the company that strives to control all access to all the major fresh water sources in the world, doesn't believe you should have free access to drinking water. They'd sooner let you die of thirst than give you free water if they thought they could get away with it without the public knowing --- The name is wackyteen for a reason.
