What are Human Rights?

by Antonella Antonecchia Friday, Jun. 05, 2009 at 2:38 AM

Human Rights are the rights you have simply because you are human

It’s how you instinctively expect and deserve to be treated as a person.
Llike the right to live freely, to speak your mind and to be treated as an equal.
There are many kinds of rights. But the Human Rights are the only ones that apply absolutely to everyone, everywhere. That means kids, poor people, old people, basketball players, garbage men, rappers, teachers, Africans, Indians, Christians, Muslims, your mom, your dad, your neighbor and You.
All have the exact same Human Rights. In other words: they are universal.
But the question remains: What are they?
According to the United Nations there are a total of 30 Human Rights which are usually called together simply Human Rights. They are all listed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which is the world’s most widely accepted document on the subject.
But there’s one little problem.
If people have the right to food and shelter why are 16 thousand children dying of starvation every day? One every 5 seconds?
If people have the right to education why over a billion adults are unable to read?
If slavery has truly been abolished why are 27 million people still in slavery today?
The fact id the Universal Declaration of Human Rights did not have the force of law. So although every member nations signed it was little more than words on a page.
As humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard stated, "Human rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream".
So the question is: Who will make those words a reality?
The world needs leadership that works for all and not just for the few; that moves states from narrow self-interest to multilateral cooperation.
You can make a difference. Urge the world’s governments to fully implement the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Scientology crime syndicate

by Fredric L. Rice Saturday, Jun. 06, 2009 at 8:35 AM
frice@skeptictank.org

This is a known Scientology crime syndicate fraud. Scientology's notorious human rights and civil rights abuses are well documented on the Internet, and this fraudulent effort to try to depict themselves as anything other than a criminal enterprise that violates people's rights is the criminal enterprise's endless attempts to rook and swindle money out of people who don't know that they're actually Scientology.

was that swill written by Tom KKKruise?

by captive audience Saturday, Jun. 06, 2009 at 4:27 PM

I'm almost 13, and writing from the chain locker of the good ship Lollipop. Xenu is real, I swear, and you have the right to food, even though you live in a desert. You have the right to education, even though it'll cost somebody to educate you, no matter your enthusiasm or intelligence or ability to retain even the most basic knowledge.

And above all, the United Nations says it is so, so it must be so.

No blood for oil!

Scientology violates amost every civil rights of its adepts. So, we could wonder if it chosses its adepts only in Masochists!
