  • I do, though I know others don't. Many things, such are voting, are often treated as privileges when they should be rights.

    They mean different things, depending on where you live. In many countries, healthcare is a right afforded to all who live there. Not so in the US.

    You have a Right to healthcare in the US. You do NOT have a Right to force someone else to pay for your healthcare.

    It's like you're stalking me, dude. WTF? Get a life, FFS! 

    You're right. I misspoke/typed. In many countries, FREE access to healthcare is one of the basic rights provided by the government merely by being a citizen. Just like, for example, in the US, military protection is afforded to citizens by the government at zero cost to citizens (other than taxes). Police protection would be another basic right in the US. (if you're the right color, that is). 

    Did you honestly not understand what I was saying? Or do you just get some sort of strange satisfaction picking people apart who disagree with you?

    Right to vote. Privilege to drive.

    Yeppers. Priviledges are granted, rights are innate. However, if you prevail, my innate rights can become priviledges...yes/no???
