What gives you the right to what? Are you suggesting that age, wisdom, beauty, for example, imbue a person with special rights others without those things do not have? It's definitely true that youth and beauty very often ( and wrongly) open a lot of doors for the person with them, while many without those factors in their favor find the same doors remain locked. Wisdom of course, is something that mostly takes years to acquire, and when wisdom has been attained it is usually recognised and respected, and rightly should be.
But, what gives a person the right........ the right to what? There are certain basic, fundamental rights that free societies believe everybody has by reason of just being a human being. Life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. The right to work and earn a living. The right to education.. The right to self improvement. The right to be treated with a certain fundamental level of respect by others, that kind of thing. In the United States, the very laws of the land decree these rights to be self-evident. Nothing GIVES those rights to a person because of any other specific factors. Being human is sufficient.
Of course, the right to other advantages, attainments, positions and status depend entirely on whether that person qualifies for that right. You only have the right to practise Law, for example, if you have gone through the requisite training and have been officially declared qualified and certified by reason of that training. You only have the right to get out on the highways in a vehicle after you have proven your proficiency and received a qualifying license.
Sadly, there are a few things that a person is considered to have an automatic right to, regardless of whether that person is qualified and suitable or not. Right now, a person has the right to make a new human being, including the worst, most odious person, who should never have custody of a helpless child. That loophole may have to get plugged some day, but for the moment it's a gaping hole through which all are permitted to pass, the good, the bad and the ugly lol.
As for what you say gives YOU "the right" again, it sounds like you mean the right to anything, although I hope that isn't what you meant because you'd be hugely mistaken. Young or old, wise or foolish, lovely to behold, or plain as a drain, those certain inalienable rights apply without exception. Things for which a person must work and earn a level of proficiency at, rightfully belong only to those who have gone through that learning process, and proved themselves. Otherwise there would be nothing but chaos.
Finally, there is the right of each and every human being to make decisions for himself no matter how ridiculous, foolish or harmful they may be. The only time others have the right to step in and bar those self-determined behaviours is where they can clearly be seen as dangerous to others, or where they intrude on the rights of others. Hence, you have the right to booze yourself into a drunken stupor, but not the right to be in control of a vehicle in that condition. You have the absolute right to refuse to see a doctor about a potentially deadly health condition (got a friend like that right now). But you do not have the right to withhold potentially life-saving medical aid from a helpless child.
What gives us the right? You cannot ask that question without qualifying it, because "right" isn't a catch-all word. It has to be qualfied and given context, and for the most part, when that is done, the overwhelming majority of people of sound and rational mind, tend to agree. The only remaining area of huge, and perhaps unending confliction among people, is probably that of religious beliefs. The best we can say there is that while YOU have the right to believe whatever you choose to, you don't have the right to force your belief on to others, and perhaps the foremost inalienable right of all of us, is the right to be the owner of our own mind, and the master of our own thinking and believing.

I gave up on why the middle east fights/ wars a loooong time in the past. I determine that thats "WHAT THEY DO". Its like a job over there. they're going to in no way end. they have had such a good number of possibilities to stay in peace yet they wont. o.k., I say enable them to do what they do. If it impacts different worldwide places then nuke them.

The only tine I feel like I have the right is when I have experience. Otherwise I kinda try to keep my mouth shut, try.
