Human rights refers to "the basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled, people sometimes take advantage of these, often held to include the right to life and liberty, freedom of thought and expression, and equality before the law."[1] The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights states, "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."[2]

I believe that all people should have human rights and freedom. That includes all races, seuxal orientations, religiions, ages, socioeconomic status, etc. I think that it is ridiculous for people to claim they believe in equality yet are homophobes or racists. This goes for Christians who seem to be particularly intolerant of gays or other races..

I wish everyone in the world had the right to life, liberty, freedom of thought and expression and equality before the law. The law is suppose to be there to protect people from harm, not to harm people. What has happened to people that they believe might makes right? When has being a bully ever been right?

Any body can have any kind of believe. Other should respect their believes and they should respect the rules of the country that they live in, it does not mean they should change their religion. Just respecting others. And the state should not force them to do anything against their believes.
And the goverments should not attac the other country.
Any should respect others because that is their wants.

Most people do, but there are some who like to oppress others. As examples. Hitler, burqas, insurgents, racists.
