Your definition of constitutional has no boundaries, your definition allows the erosion of rights by its very nature.
Cultural values play some role but the basic human rights wont change much, if at all.
Actually the boundary is the US Constitution, what the legislative and executive branch see as its application to law, and what the Court says about it when they rule on cases regarding parts of it. That is the boundary.
Again, what does you directing this stuff about the Court rulings have to do with me or anything I have said?
I have not seen so much nitpicking since Ms. Broomflyer had me diagram a sentence in fourth grade. But fine, if this is the game you want to play - I can play that also.
Do cultural values play an important role in determining what behaviors a society wants as a right?
Lie. Because everyone on this board has seen your fake as hell "boundary" for the 2nd amendment. You accept any constriction of rights so long as it agrees with your political agenda. Dismissed.
Quit crying, no one cares.
As I stated already some minimal, most basic rights cross cultural boundaries.
Asia is a region with diverse cultures. This is coupled with the fact that political, social and economic situations of people in the region are equally varied. This situation raises a question on whether international concepts such as human rights can relate meaningfully to the cultural values present in the region. In recent years, there are reports of some governments arguing for an Asian concept of human rights. One major justification for this view is the culture factor.
HURIGHTS OSAKA took the opportunity of helping facilitate a more in-depth discussion on this matter through a research project that will identify and explain cultural values found in several countries in the region. The research project will analyze the relationship of cultural values to human rights to provide impartial bases for an appropriate appreciation of human rights in the context of Asia.
This initiative is deemed crucial in fashioning effective human rights education programs that present human rights as ideas that relate to the cultures of peoples in different parts of the region. HURIGHTS OSAKA sees the research project as an essential first step in developing its regional human rights education program. It will hopefully supply a sound basis for a need to have human rights education programs that put primacy to people's cultures.
You believe only a societal majority can decide rights, I am giving you examples where you are wrong.
Where did I state what you claim I supposedly said?
That's false and anyone that is not having a right recognized because a government is not accepting it knows it.
Minimal. Okay.
You really need to expand your education on this topic. This might help you

It is an excellent piece which demonstrates rather clearly just how important cultural values are in deterring rights according to many professional sociologists who have studied the issue across different cultures.
this is from the introduction
But do not stop here as the article is quite lengthy and that is only about 1% of it.
Why don't you take a few hours to read it and come back and we can discuss it?
Yep, typical. We are done, not playing your insipid circular games. Restate what you do believe and demonstrate how am I wrong, I am not playing this circular reasoning crap with you.
Where did I state what you claim I supposedly said?
You believe only a societal majority can decide rights, I am giving you examples where you are wrong.
Actually you were done in by your own tactics when you attempted to tell me what I believe rather than supply the evidence of me stating what I believe. That fatal flaw did you in.
Society has decided to limit the 2nd amendment so that freedom loving Americans can't carry around nuclear arms. Is this just sanity, or liberals getting those freedom loving conservative patriot Americans on the slippery slope to their ultimate vision of Stalinist totalitarianism?
You really need to quit pretending you have the most clever thing to say, again, no one cares.
Your own source speaks of negative rights, which you barely even recognize. Further its a study, its not conclusive. Considered as a data point, granted.
Just because you feel like you should have a right, does not mean that you actually have that right. I guess anyone in North Korea has the right to criticize their government, if only their government recognized that right - so, so, so ridiculous. Once again, rights are human constructs. Like any other human construct, it doesn't exist for you unless your culture and society / government recognizes it. Otherwise, its just in your head.

No the fatal flaw was engaging someone that doesn't debate honestly about what they believe.
I am saying if rights are not recognized, people eventually force government to recognize them or they throw out the current government.
Actually your fatal flaw is YOU telling ME what I believe and failing to provide the evidence that supports your claim.
Debate is not merely stating an opinion. That is but the first step... and the easiest in many ways. The hard part begins when you have to support your opinion with verifiable evidence. And you have failed to do that when you proclaim to the world what I believe but fail to supply my words stating just that.
I would say confiscating long rifles and any clips with more than 7 rounds in NY is a bit down the slope.
Sure. But what those rights should or should not be is determined by the society. In some societies, things like healthcare and a basic education are seen as human rights. If the government stops being able ot provide a basic safety net of these for their populace, they will throw their incompetent negligent behinds out.
