If you were born and lived in Iran, your "god given" rights woudl be way different. If you were born 5000 years ago, it'd be cool to "smash your neighbor with a rock and eat his dinner". We live in a unique time, place and situation - and we feel the need to paint all of humanity history with that brush. I dont know why.
Yes, because you NEVER hear about any Iranian uprising of people pissed off by how they're being oppressed, willing to fight and die for stupid ideas like those "inalienabe human rights" such as the "right to life, liberty, and the pursuit happiness".
The stupid "5000 years ago" bullshit is ridiculous. Pretty sure as long as there has been government, it hasn't been cool to "smash your neighbor with a rock". (infringing on others rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness)
You're right 240, people have NEVER fought for freedoms (right to life, liberty, and the pursuit happiness) if their government didnt give it to them. Ever.
Give it up dude, as long as people have lived in social groups, these basic ideas have existed and people have fought for them, and its NEVER been the government that has given it to them. They have taken it. By force if necessary.
