A negative right restrains other persons or governments by limiting their actions toward or against the right holder. Positive rights provide the right holder with a claim against another person or the state for some good, service, or treatment.

Examples:

Education isn't a "right" just b/c the state of missouri says you are entitled to it. that's a "positive" right, not a natural right.

Same with healtcare or a car or an obamaphone.

Living, keeping your property, thought, movement - all natural, negative rights which don't require anyone to do anything for you to exercise, they are inherent.

Do you have an example of the latter? (nm) - ummmm MU - 11/12 21:57:03

Their views on natural law - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 11/12 22:01:17

that's your example of llbertarians enforcing their views on - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 22:03:50

Is the purpose of all laws to inflict the will - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 11/12 22:10:44

not at all(nm) - meatiger MU - 11/12 22:12:16

So what is the purpose of laws(nm) - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 11/12 22:15:09

to prevent others (including gvmt) from - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 22:18:25

they should be to protect people - meatiger MU - 11/12 22:17:06

You are free to think that - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 11/12 22:21:50

I am not forcing anyone to live by my notion - meatiger MU - 11/12 22:23:00

So you support no laws, even those that - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 11/12 22:25:25

Do you believe murder is ever justified? Do you believe - TigerMatt KC - 11/12 22:26:34

No, but that is why I have no issue saying I support laws - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 11/12 22:32:08

Negative Rights do not inflict anything on anyone. Why are - TigerMatt KC - 11/12 22:34:26

And that is my point - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 11/12 22:42:11

4Tigs - if you think laws should protect murder, theft and k - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 22:44:56

I think there should be laws against all those things - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 11/12 22:46:41

A libertarian would protect your right to worship Christ. Y - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 22:50:06

Name one law you support that is not an attempt - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 11/12 22:51:24

right to life, property (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 22:56:08

someone who wishes to kill me or steal from me is - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 22:56:53

yes - you know a lot of these people or disagree with this? - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 22:55:40

They took action against the law. The law did not force - TigerMatt KC - 11/12 22:55:08

who would "see no issue" with murder?(nm) - meatiger MU - 11/12 22:54:31

Great start, other than "inflicting your will". Is it your h - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 22:49:05

Of course - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 11/12 22:52:48

Right - so rather than letting a majority of current people - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 22:54:30

Because the very people who want laws to support these thing - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 11/12 22:57:27

"tradition"? how about the entirety of human history (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 23:00:48

no 4Tigs, nobody has an issue with your support of murder - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 23:00:19

A negative law does not inflict will on others! It forces - TigerMatt KC - 11/12 22:58:25

And if someone says that Christianiry causes harm and - TigerMatt KC - 11/12 22:48:14

No, I think it's wrong and I would fight it - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 11/12 22:50:25

"inflict my will of what is right"? - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 22:52:54

A law I support is Thou Shalt Not Murder.(nm) - TigerMatt KC - 11/12 22:51:21

Should a person who sees no issue with murder - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 11/12 22:54:56

A law against murder forces no one to take action. It - TigerMatt KC - 11/12 22:56:34

We are getting ready to land - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 11/12 22:59:41

4Tigs, you're supporting laws that infringe upon others. - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 22:33:58

And you are free to have that opinion - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 11/12 22:40:28

it's not an opinion. name a law you support that I wouldn't - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 22:45:34

I want to know a law you support - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 11/12 22:48:35

RE: I want to know a law you support - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 22:57:29

It has been talked about many times - meatiger MU - 11/12 22:50:40

Just admit you wish to force your will upon others even if - TigerMatt KC - 11/12 22:41:11

As do you if you believe in punishing - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 11/12 22:43:12

these are rights YOU see as individual rights, 4Tigs. We jus - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 22:46:52

No. Here is a negative law. Do not murder. - TigerMatt KC - 11/12 22:45:50

Nothing, but I get punished if I do - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 11/12 22:47:24

we've established this. Now discuss the laws you support - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 22:58:06

Because you took action, when no one forced you to against - TigerMatt KC - 11/12 22:49:18

He's literally taking the position that libertarians are bad - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 22:25:15

At this point I think you could get him to defend Satan(nm) - TigerMatt KC - 11/12 22:28:20

Look, I agree we should have those laws - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 11/12 22:33:47

a law against murder is no infliction of will(nm) - meatiger MU - 11/12 22:36:37

So one who murders will not be punished?(nm) - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 11/12 22:37:21

Yes. They took positive action to violate the negative - TigerMatt KC - 11/12 22:39:06

Why should they be punished? - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 11/12 22:44:06

who doesn't agree with these rights??????? (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 22:58:34

why are you focusing on this instead of the laws you support - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 22:50:54

It isn't my notion of rights. It is universal.(nm) - TigerMatt KC - 11/12 22:47:02

what? - meatiger MU - 11/12 22:38:50

you misread his post; he means a law against murder forces - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 22:38:20

4Tigs, the difference is you support laws that infringe upon - 90Tiger STL - 11/12 22:34:36
