Human rights?

Question

Can anyoneshow me where Human Rights has any benefit for the common good? The only people it seems to benefit are the criminal fraternity, time and time again I read where people break the law and their (Rights) are protected at the expense of the victim and the state.

Answer 1

I'm sick to death of hearing about peoples human rights being violated! Like you said, you only ever hear it about people who deserved to be violated or have been violating!
Its the PC brigade gone mad again!

Answer 2

Under our current system, I agree that the criminal element has more rights and more protection than the rest of us. I am for the repeal of Income Tax and restoration of those rights that have been taken by IRS which would restore the right to determine your use of your earned property(money and what you can buy with it.) Pass the fair-tax Act as written. I am for restoring property rights which I think were a major factor in the progress and development of Western Civilization. I am against NIMBY's who protest the development of private property for the benefit of the owner. I am for the right to vote, the right to peaceful assembly, the right to petition the government, the rights of the states to control those things not SPECIFICALLY granted to the Federal government by the Constitution, and the other guaranteed rights enumerated in the bill of rights. They do not benefit us because we do not effectively fight for them. I was particularly impressed with the American Public when they jammed the Senate switchboard on the Amnesty issue. This was an exercise of our right to petition the government, and it worked. I am strongly against a pure democracy because mob rule will deny individuals those rights. Yes we have rights, but only to the extent we fight to retain them. The ACLU does pretty well for the criminal element. We just need an organization that will do as well for the rest of us.

Human rights is another ambiguous word, it means many things to many people, it is how you can pass just about any law you want and say it is the humans rights or whatever.

It is just another tool for overregulation. At first it sounds good, human rights who could argue for that until you look at the details and it sounds oppressive or unfair in many cases.

if you commited a serious crime but your human rights were violated somewhere down the line, but you are truly guilty you should still be punished, you shouldn't be allowed to just walk because of some fairly minor human right violation. They should still have to prove your guilt beyond a doubt.

But I would say they should save the punishment here for rapists murderers and robbers. NOt petty or no victim crimes.

RRRR

Although I have stated this before, I have to repeat, what on earth was wrong with our previous legal framework in Britain? It has always served us well in the past, and in fact, was probably the best legal system in the world.

It worked on the simple principle, that you could do anything save that which the law specifically stated that you couldn't do. Wonderfully clear and simple.

What have we introduced in its place? An alien European legal model, the HRA, which attempts stupidly, to list all those things that you can do, and assumes by default, presumably, that you can't do anything not listed. This is an utterly crazy way to try and frame law, because it is virtually impossible to list, or even think of, all the things that you may be able to do. That is why people are almost inventing 'rights' for themselves, because it is impossible to codify law in such detail. It also passes power away from Parliament, and hands it to legislators who may interpret law contrary to the wishes of our Parliament.

Answer 5

I too am sick to death of this Human Rights garbage.Yet again the criminals get protected and mollycoddled. When anyone commits a horrific crime, they end up with new identities, a new life abroad, money for their upkeep.It just goes to show that crime really does pay.

It wouldn't surprise me if the murderers of the 11 year old boy gunned down yesterday, end up going on a trip to Disneyland or they will probably be let off scot free due to their human rights being infringed...

Answer 6

The Human rights bill is a charter for criminals and crooked foreign nationals. No wonder the Americans aren't tied down to anything like this, they wouldn't stand for it, because they would deport whoever in an instant regardless what the Human rights courts says.

Answer 7

Human rights doesn't mean much until you are falsely accused of something and need assistance to prove your innocence. The same rights that "criminals" exploit to get out of trouble, help to keep you and yours out of trouble when you are falsely accused. U.S. law is set up not to protect us as much as to protect us from the law. Abuse of rights is not a good reason to scrap those rights.

Answer 8

Human Rights , everyone has them , but our system does not allow us to be told what they are

As for the law breakers , I agree , but they are given advice on how to beat the system , by the same system that prevents us knowing what they are , so that we may use them to our addvantage

Answer 9

just like many laws and programs... initially meant for good, then abused by people they weren't meant for to begin with. but, due to moral-lacking judges, Rev Jackson, the ACLU and the like... the loose interpretation and flexibility of the law is not used appropriately.
