I rarely start threads in this forum but over the years I have seen tons of posts talking about Rights. In interviews, you hear people telling us it's their RIGHT to do/have/say something. Is it? When is a so called Right actually a Privilege? Often, I think accidents of birth (usually where, but there are other considerations) determine what Privileges you are entitled to. So, my question (leaving the US Constitution aside) is what BASIC rights should ALL people have as opposed to what Privileges they enjoy based around such things as where they live?
I'm interested too to see if the European and perhaps Asian viewpoints differ from the Western (American) one.
