Of course it does, what the heck are we here for if not to persuade others that our view is supreme even if we too change our view , isn't it the plight of humans to push their view forward and believe that those that think differently to ourselves are obvious less intelligent than us and there fore unfit to exist, Just wondering what i'll do when there is no one left on the planet as a result of intellectually elimination? er---- I'll proclaim myself GOD-no one can debate----of course

No. Having rights gives you the authority to reject government action.
At least, that's how it works with the US Constitution, since the vast majority of "rights" are actually limitations on government action.
There are certain laws passed that allow you to impose yourself on other people, but not where those other people have the right to refuse being imposed upon. Again, because while a private person may be able to impose, the govt cannot support or enforce that action.

Article 1.
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
Article 29.
(1) Everyone has duties to the community in which alone the free and full development of his personality is possible.
(2) In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society.
(3) These rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.
Article 30.
Nothing in this Declaration may be interpreted as implying for any State, group or person any right to engage in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the destruction of any of the rights and freedoms set forth herein.
Well apart from that article on human rights, personally I feel that you should not impose your will onto other people except for the greater good, you should not impose your rights onto other people's.
In otherwords, your rights do not necessarily end when they infringe on other people's, but it would be a case of judging which rights are infringing on which, for example, you jail a man who is convicted of a crime that warrants the limitation of this man's freedom to move around.
You are not infringing on his right to freedom, in fact, it was his violation of other people's rights that lead to "loss" of his rights.
Technically you cannot lose a right, it exists as long as long as the bearer to the right, but you can lose the right to exercise a right. Confused?
What do I mean? You need to act with responsibility for the general welfare of others, how you define responsibility and general welfare, well that is up to your conscience.

Just because you have the right to do something doesn't make it right to do. And no, your rights end when they infringe on someone else's rights.
