38. Laws regarding rights have changed

Mon Jun 6, 2016, 12:37 PM

Jun 2016

Do you believe that rights are created (or destroyed) by laws?

So if yes, how many votes does it take to eliminate the right of free speech?
If I go to Syria, is it okay if I'm killed or jailed because an official thinks my hair is too long or too short?
Does a right not exist if I cross a border?
Or, if it's the wrong border, do I still have a right to life but might contend with criminals and tyrants who have no respect for my rights?

Rights determine good and evil. Laws are written to reflect rights that good may flourish and evil be discouraged.
