Harbal wrote: ↑Wed Dec 28, 2022 9:47 amThis is the point, henry. What you call rights are only rights when they are the subject of an agreement or pact between two or more people. Otherwise, they are merely personal principles.

Your natural right to your life, your liberty, your property exists in the same way fire exists.

That's not a bad analogy, henry. Fire only exists under certain circumstances.

Yes. And natural rights too only exist under certain conditions, within a certain context: personhood.

Don't get me wrong, henry, I don't begrudge you your rights. Grant as many of them to yourself as you like.

Why not, humanbeinghood?

I'll stick with just recognizin' and asserting the ones I have naturally.

Wasn't that story banned for being racist? No, wait. The insane Leftists want to ban the constitution for being racists.
Yeah, that's the ticket.

Cuz humans are persons, not persons are human.

There may be non-human persons.

Tricky.
Emanuel meets the Jacky.

Manny has a longer track record, so has to retain the title of Circumvention Queen, but as the year comes to a close this year's title might have to go to Jacky.

Awards season is hotting up.

I want Best Supporting Character in an Ignores List for my stirling work getting into VA's foes list not once but twice. Being in Henry's penalty box isn't exclusive enough, all you other bums are in there with me, even Age.

That big, bad, Leftist wolf again, Walker?

Belinda wrote: ↑Wed Dec 28, 2022 3:43 pm I feel uncomfortable reading your posts because I don't like videos, preferring texts. Also because you substitute what other people such as e.g. Camus, or French intellectuals, are saying, not what you yourself believe.One wonders what you are afraid of. .

The videos are texts.

But put that aside. Comment on what I did directly say about the French situation.

I asked that also respond in kind with your own views and ideas. What are they? Why do you have them?

I gave you what you asked for. I cooperated. Why won’t you reciprocate?

I gather that you would rather not engage with me in regard to the many ideas and comments I made in those last posts?

Nothing there of interest? No possibilities for exchange?

Oh my Grandma, what large whiskers you have, Walker must report you to DeSantis for not using the correct toilets as recorded on your birth certificate.

If God exists: surely He's a person, but not human, yes?

He refuses to wear a left shoe, you know.
