    The US has a plenty long record of denying various folks their supposedly inalienable rights. Ask any interned Japanese or Native American.

    It's a nice ideal, but it is not consistently practiced.

      Yeah, but at least we're ashamed afterwards and often try to make amends.

        And others don’t?

        Think again.

              Like I said, think again. My point is that feeling ashamed and making amends to aboriginal peoples and Japanese internees and their descendants is not exclusive to the USA.

                We don’t obey in this country.

                How many of you know someone who died needlessly from COVID because of ignorant 'Murrican values?

                Fuck this guy. From the morons who invoke their "rights" to eat dewormer paste and get deathly ill instead of get a damn shot to the morons who invoke their "rights" to have safe spaces and get co-workers fired because they consider height a micro-aggression, we don't need any more rights in America. We're children run amok and breaking shit in Pier One because our parents have a soft touch. We need responsibilities, personal and social.

                Show me what you're doing to practice responsible citizenship out there in the world. If you are, please double down, because we have a shortage. If all you're doing is demanding your "rights" be honored, shove your exceptionalism and your rights firmly up your ass.

                Please love yourself.

                    1. I’ve always felt that way too many Americans focus on “rights” and I have long championed a “Bill of Responsibilities” to temper people’s perceived “rights”.

                    2. Personally? I know4 people that have died from COVID. 3 had Type II Diabetes and all had Vitamin D deficiencies.

                    3. And you’ll agree when you get older… When the shit hits the fan is the moment when you most need to hold to simple and basic ideals and is not when you suspend your ideals for the “common good”.

                    4. Rights that can be rescinded on a Governmental whim aren’t rights.

                      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
