I don't care how many times it's been said, it's simply not true. I don't suppose you'd care to supply us with a source for that, would you? From a more or less objective source, not a rabidly socialist source, I mean.
Okay.
I don't think that I need to prove anything, it's plain to see that we have enough water. Have you actually seen how big the ocean is?
So you're making up facts to support your notion that people shouldn't be fairly compensated for their labor.
No at all, of course people should be compensated for labour but $1 per day is not fair under this system, a figure that many millions have to live on daily.
I just simply believe that there is a better and more fairer way out there to compensate people for their labour.
Maybe you have never seen first hand real poverty but I have and it quite simply does not need to happen. not with how clever Humans actually are!
I use to have very right wing views and still hold many to this day, and have never been accused of being a socialist! lol
In many ways I am playing devils advocate with my previous post. Plenty of poverty that does not need to exist through simple lack of drive, ambition, foresight from people and communities etc, that's another problem.
I didn't actually say that.
We, as humans, have one born right - the right to life. That naturally extends to the right to freedom from physical insult and captivity, and to lead our life as we wish - including the right to our own labour. They are contingent on our intelligence and our ability to recognise them.
I agree I was just adding to your point was not quoting you. :-)
We don't have the right to have anything handed to us as a result of this. We must pursue our own course. However our rights bear responsibilities. Our right to life means all other humans have right to life. Our right to freedom from physical insult and captivity as a result of that right to life means all other humans have that right. Our right to lead our lives as we wish means doing so without causing physical insult, killing, bestowing captivity on or taking the labour of another human.
Other species of animal - and "nature" - lack the intelligence to recognise these rights and this means they do not have the responsibility not to hold us captive, injure or kill us, while we do not have the responsibility to do the same to them.
Those are just legal rights. Governments cannot create or deny rights, only laws that recognise or fail to recognise them. Governments are not meant to be arbiters of rights, only protectors of them. The mess you go on to describe is as a result of too many people and too many governments thinking the exact opposite.
