Godless and without morals
I'd say, if your values or culture dictate that you must take away other human's basic rights, then perhaps you ought to do some personal soul searching. There is no excuse for wanting to mind other people's business and to interfere in the rights of others.However, some of the things in there simply aren't feasible if there's a confliction of values, or one's individual interpretation of something is different than that of the culture of the country they're residing in.
Not at all.It seems like you're trying to push for some sort of document that fits your viewpoint to a T, and creates a bunch of carve outs for the philosophical positions you have, but specifically squashes your opponents' counter-positions.
I'm just defining anti discrimination. You can believe what you want, you can live whatever life you want, but you can't use law to take the rights of others away from them.
References please, or are you just making this up? I certainly haven't seen any reports of 150 million people fleeing for their lives from USA.Given that you said the US has a nationalism problem, the 150 million progressive people in the US are living in a hostile territory, and need to seek refuge based on their own interpretation of what constitutes political persecution.
NZ takes refugees and asylum seekers.As luck would have it, all 150M chose New Zealand as the place where they'd like to seek refuge. What's NZ's plan for being able to bring them in an incorporate them into society?
Sounds exciting.(head's up, there's going to be a lot of arts and music majors, so hopefully your concert halls and art museums have a worker shortage that need 20 million people to fill the roles)
I'm not a leftist.Snark aside, what you're describing as your ideal is nothing new or original, it's the same sort of leftist eutopia idea
Not sure what you are getting at really.There's a reason why almost every westernized democracy has their core document (like a constitution) be things that are universal, and any specific carve-outs that only apply to a specific subset of people be handled in revised codes or at the administrative district level to accommodate the local culture, it's because that's what works.
Giving people the right to privacy over their own bodies, the right to decide for themselves if they want medical procedures is universal.
I believe that as a country we ought to take reasonable efforts to prevent people from starving, or being exposed to the elements or dying from preventable illnesses.Under your proposed system. I stop working tomorrow. As long as you're going to guarantee me housing, food, healthcare, etc....
But there are limits.
I think if a person is unemployed, then the government should help them get food and shelter, but also in return that person should show commitment to getting themselves back into employment. With that comes more support that is required by govt. Services to help people find jobs, to help them develop marketable skills, services to help them out of depression and to prevent life long dependency on social services.
If an able bodied and able minded person refuses despite much effort to help them, then I accept it is reasonable to cut them off.
Ok, you will live in basic accommodation, you won't have money for luxuries, and you will have govt hounding you to get you back into employment. If you can't find a suitable job for yourself then govt will find something for you, if you refuse then you lose your social support.If we look at the UN declaration of rights you referenced...

Don't expect an extra ounce of effort on my part lol.
I'm quite surprised by your attempts to presume to know my position rather than ask me, and your lack of forethought and speed in diving straight into this strange black and white position rather than thinking through the realities of what countries do to help people in need.
Sure, why not.And, under that UN document, it means Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson get to have as many anti-vaccine guests as they want and influence as many people as they see fit
Did I say that I want that one amended? Please stop doing what you are doing. It is annoying.View attachment 344115
(lemme guess, you'd like to amend that part?)
