There is nothing more frustrating than someone asserting that they have rights, when in reality they're just jerks who like to hurt others. I grew up in an extremely patriotic family. There have been at least two members of my family serving in a branch of the mility every generation all the way back to the American Revolution. I truly believe every human being has the right to their beliefs, feelings, and access to human necessities. But here's the thing, there are lots of issues where you DON'T have rights. You have NO right to another person's body. I can't tell you how many people make the worst comments about other peoples bodies, and then try and excuse themselves by saying they have a "right" to speak up about that person for various reasons. I care about their health, I care about their safety, I care about their future. Cut the crap! You're calling them fat, because you're rude, you're Calli g them a slut because you're judgmental, and you're calling them lazy, or selfish, or naive because they aren't living their life the way you think they should. Here's another one that drives me up the wall. You have NO right to parade your opinion as fact. You have every right to be ignorant and stupid, but you do not have the right to endanger other people because you believe you have all the answers. It's not okay to hurt children by not vaccinating them, by giving them crappy educations because the rich need their tax breaks, or poor nutrition because it's cheaper to trust paid off "scientists" who let government run places serve garbage, to hurt women with misogynistic laws, unsafe work environments, and street harassers who feel they have a "right" to women's time, attention, and bodies. And it is not OK to hurt men by constantly upholding toxic masculinity ideals, and assuming they can't be good parents, that they can't control themselves around women, and that they are incapable of being victems, or having emotional problems. Why can't people try upholding each other's rights to living happy lives instead of ranting and raving about rights being violated that they never had to begin with. Quit being so hateful and hurtful!!!!!

End rant

This should probably go in the bitch it out thread, rather than its own thread.
But, salient points, and all things we can definitely agree on. Very little more obnoxious than than someone who "knows" they're right, and decides everyone else should agree :rolleyes:

Preach it! I totally understand where you are coming from. I have become quite frustrated lately with the fact that eople dont understand their "privilage" dosent and should not interfere with the will, body, or mind of another individual.


You have NO right to parade your opinion as fact.
THIS. Yes, people are so lofty they forget that they are human, and with that can be very wrong.
