In My Opinion in front of it then at least you would be arguing from some sort of starting point.

Natural rights are an asinine concept because there is nothing to support their existence. I can claim anything as a natural right with the simple argument of 'because it is'. That is exactly what you have done here. Rights are whatever the people decide they are.

Free speech, assembly and religion are all rights here in the US. They are not rights in many other parts of the world. They are rights here because the American people have decided that they are rights. Without the backing of the people there are NO rights.

     Irony is TB posters crying about Obamacare and Health - 90Tiger MU - 12/16 09:56:01
          I didn't argue that education is a right because - Spanky KU - 12/16 11:14:04
               That doesn't explain anything (nm) - pickle MU - 12/16 11:36:03
                    Because you didn't get an education, apparently. - Spanky KU - 12/16 12:19:05
                         Because that is not the purpose of the article - pickle MU - 12/16 13:50:27
          I am a constitutionalist. education is mentioned by name - DHighlander KC - 12/16 10:38:41

               You are no constitutionalist (nm) - pickle MU - 12/16 10:48:53
     You presented no rebuttal to Spanky's claim. - GA Tiger MU - 12/16 09:36:21
          The state doesn't give anyone the "right" to be educated - ummmm MU - 12/16 09:39:54
          GA, no offense, but you just expressed that you don't - 90Tiger MU - 12/16 09:38:22
               I call it a right because it falls within ANY definition in - GA Tiger MU - 12/16 09:41:22
                    Force is all over state education - compliance with standard - 90Tiger MU - 12/16 09:43:20
                    You call it a right - pickle MU - 12/16 09:42:51
                         You accuse us of the logical fallacy of appealing to - DHighlander KC - 12/16 09:52:37
                              I'm not arguing an appeal to authority - pickle MU - 12/16 09:57:59
                                   You tell everyone to think but offer absolutely nothing in - DHighlander KC - 12/16 10:07:04
                                        I'm not sure you can see my posts, but - SwampTiger MU - 12/16 10:12:59
                                             I don't disagree with any of it. But without the first - DHighlander KC - 12/16 10:20:40
                                                  it doesn't sound like you agree with it - SwampTiger MU - 12/16 10:28:27
                                                       No it claims that they believe that there are inalienable - DHighlander KC - 12/16 10:54:19
                                                            I think I have a concussion - SwampTiger MU - 12/16 10:58:06
                                                                 How is "We Hold" anything but an opinion? - DHighlander KC - 12/16 11:17:34
                                                                      "truths" - SwampTiger MU - 12/16 11:53:39
                                                                      Wow (nm) - pickle MU - 12/16 11:29:27
                                                  Those seven words do not support your argument - pickle MU - 12/16 10:26:08
                                        Oh, my. (nm) - pickle MU - 12/16 10:11:51
                    Where does the right to education begin and where does it - ummmm MU - 12/16 09:42:16
          The entire post is not only a rebuttal - pickle MU - 12/16 09:38:16
     As a Constitutional Republic every state has decided that a - DHighlander KC - 12/16 09:28:34
          Do you have a right to drive, or is it a privelege? - tman KC - 12/16 10:10:35
               It's a right (nm) - pickle MU - 12/16 10:38:04
               Nothing in the Constitution gives me that right. But the - DHighlander KC - 12/16 10:23:45
                    I thought you said you know the Constitution? - pickle MU - 12/16 10:39:21
                         No, the constitution identifies rights that it guarantees. - DHighlander KC - 12/16 11:07:49
          Using your framework, rights come and go based on what - 90Tiger MU - 12/16 09:41:51
               Thank you for making my point. As I have said multiple - DHighlander KC - 12/16 09:49:56
                    That is frankly untrue - ummmm MU - 12/16 09:53:58
                         Because the right that I claim has the backing of every - DHighlander KC - 12/16 09:56:57
                              DH - none of the things you are calling a right is - 90Tiger MU - 12/16 10:23:49
                                   Every state constitution guarantees the right to a - DHighlander KC - 12/16 10:31:57
                                        Holy **** (nm) - pickle MU - 12/16 10:52:56
                                        No, they don't. Every state has laws of force - ummmm MU - 12/16 10:38:30
                                             It is not possible to have meaningful discussions with - DHighlander KC - 12/16 10:45:56
                                                  DH - you need to unlearn everything you think you kno - 90Tiger MU - 12/16 11:31:43

                                                       I hate to say it - pickle MU - 12/16 10:56:23
                                                            agree (nm) - 90Tiger MU - 12/16 11:32:38
                              But it is not a right. You recognize that it can be taken - ummmm MU - 12/16 10:00:11
                                   That is a totally unsupportable claim. If you wish to put - DHighlander KC - 12/16 10:13:35
                                        No, you cannot claim anything as a natural right. - ummmm MU - 12/16 10:23:54
