Your figures are probably off. Katrina took all my stuff.

Looks like they’re ignoring the string of boating accidents losses over the last few years.

The Constitution is a human document that grants rights to humans as dictated by humans. Duty and obligation , however, always proceed rights. Rights mean nothing without them.

Love this little gem from Weil:

The notion of obligations comes before that of rights, which is subordinate and relative to the former. A right is not effectual by itself, but only in relation to the obligation to which it corresponds, the effective exercise of a right springing not from the individual who possesses it, but from other men who consider themselves as being under a certain obligation towards him. Recognition of an obligation makes it effectual. An obligation which goes unrecognized by anybody loses none of the full force of its existence. A right which goes unrecognized by anybody is not worth very much.

It makes nonsense to say that men have, on the one hand, rights, and on the other hand, obligations. Such words only express differences in point of view. The actual relationship between the two is as between object and subject. A man, considered in isolation, only has duties, amongst which are certain duties towards himself. A man left alone in the universe would have no rights whatever, but he would have obligations.

By the way, why bring such a charged subject to the OT, a place of pilgrimage to the Prince of Peace. It’s clear you want a fight, which isn’t surprising since you’re likely handling and cleaning your instrument as though it were an extension of your sex defining organ.

My family didn’t help found this great nation so entitled victims like you could abuse its laws and liberties. You would do well to spend the rest of the day dwelling on your duties and obligations to this world.

Wrong. The rights inherent in the Bill of Rights are either natural rights or God given (depending on your preference). Everyone is born with them. Inalienable.
Our Founding documents simply attempt to keep government from unnaturally depriving us of those rights.

Read a book (A fact based one. With honest and accurate citations)

The contemporaneous bodies of work surrounding those documents are far more intelligent and better written than any of the academic gibberish written in the last 30 or so years.

You may want to read the document you are talking about.

The rights enumerated in the founding documents are "Natural rights" they are yours no matter what. They are not provided by the government they are PROTECTED by the government.



"Natural rights are rights granted to all people by nature or God that cannot be denied or restricted by any government or individual. Natural rights are often said to be granted to people by “natural law.”

You are referencing "legal rights". These are completely different.

Legal rights are rights granted by governments or legal systems. As such, they can also be modified, restricted or repealed. In the United States, legal rights are granted by the legislative bodies of the federal, state and local governments.

The rights listed in the Bill of Rights are not legal rights, they are Natural Rights.

Who is the sanctimonious one now? Might want to read a little bit before you preach to us knuckle draggers about freedom.

This is why I always felt like The Walking Dead was BS. Ammo and gun shortage? Come on. Once you figure out a head shot kills a zombie, everyone alive would wipe out the zombies with a quickness. But hey let’s not overthink it.
