Are rights objectively real?

Your info was merely claims made by other people that you repeated. That is still a claim, even if it dates back to the 1700s.

its dates back more then 2000 years ago.

you on the other hand only seek to deny, and that is not argument.

What is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

I actually gave an 'alternative' hypothesis with evidence in an exchange which you ignored. I don't have to but, I found it interesting.

Hearsay and claims don't become any more valid by adding a further 1700 years onto them.

Yet, for all that, you are unable to show that it is more than 'what people think about it', and 'how people think things ought to be'. How about that.

then you have nothing, because you produced noting but a denial of what i said, because i did produce.

i produced much, you and William, all you did was deny....you never produce anything because you never had anything,

Ultimately, it doesn't matter because you have failed to support the assertion that rights are objectively real.

The fact is that it wasn't up to me to provide an alternative hypothesis but, I did.

If you know it, then show it.

:lamo you produced nothing to counter my argument

i already showed rights are not created by government.

ancient history, founders history, and laws be they federal or constitutional speak of natural law and rights

now again..... what do you have, but just a denial of this

Like I said, you don't know it, if you can't show it.

Produce an objectively real right and explain why it is objective and real.

I will predict what you will produce...

1. A list of human abilities.
2. Documents where someone asserts that they exist, without showing that they do.
3. You will point at something and say, 'that' without showing that it it is.

again... you not going to make YOUR argument , but just deny what i said and posted from links.
 
i produced much, you and William, all you did was deny....you never produce anything because you never had anything,

Actually, you have not produced the one that that was requested.. and that is to show that 'rights exist no matter what people think of it'. You distort the term 'right' to such an extent it has no meaning, and then you produce opinions of people.. but, you have not shown that it is more than an opinion. That is the issue, and that is what you are unable to understand or acknowledge.

requested?...you and Haymarket seem to think i must serve you and what you want, and thats not how its works.

i provided info, and while i did that, all i got in return was denial of that info, and nothing in return.

First of all, it wasn't haymarket. Second of all, it wasn't what was asked for you to present. Do you understand the differnce between a dump of links, and having those links actually address the point/points being addressed???

No.

We all seem to think that when you make an assertion you support it with something more than hearsay and, 'well it's obvious'. You seem to think that claiming something makes it so, it doesn't in this forum section.

first of all you and haymarket requested from me as if i am to serve you....so get that correct.

your position is to deny what i have said, and nothing more, you have nothing at all.
 
No.

and as i said you and ramoss are here just deny what i have said, and present nothing yourself.

you have nothing to post, and you have not thru this whole exchange.

so thats where we are
 
first of all you and haymarket requested from me as if i am to see you....so get that correct.

Funny, I find your inability to even address what the points are is the denial. You aren't even addressing the points, but instead are going off on a tangent and answering something that is not even being discussed by others. You show instead what people thought, but that is not the subject of the OP.

i have addressed many , and you have denied the whole time.... because thats all you have.

i have history, i have law constitutional and federal, and i have LIFE meaning what i said is what we live by.

Thank you for proving my point, because your last point shows that you do not understand what the OP is about at all.

you have no point, and thats your problem.

you see you and the others only seek to deny what i have said and posted, yet you produce nothing for an argument.

an old tactic used on the form:- tell your opponent to produce something to prove you wrong, while you do nothing but just deny.

You can't show it, you don't know it. If you don't like it then don't make positive assertions for things that you cannot demonstrate.

You cannot use the law to show that rights do not come from the law. By attempting to do so you are doing the exact opposite

yes i can.... because the law recognizes RIGHTS, which i have said all along!...it does not grant rights

The constitution IS law
Doesn't matter what they claim they used to derive those laws from there are no rights without some form of govt be that as simple a form of govt as a village council of elders.
 
like i said, ... have nothing.

I've told you before, I am not interested in your constitution, federal law or history, these are literally all just claims that you claim. I don't know how to make you understand that unless you can demonstrate anything more than a claim made by someone then you have nothing.

You ignored it but, in previous posts I have already created a hypothesis for the origins of 'rights' based upon biology and evolution. I put forward evidence of our altruistic nature and our social instincts leading to the formation of laws that created what we acknowledge to be rights under certain circumstances. You have produced no rationale, no reason; All you have done is point and say, 'that'. I didn't have to put forward any hypothesis but, your constant assertion of claims as proof is dull so, I figured it might make a better conversation to talk about why laws come first and then rights.
