strategyking - so because the species survived, that makes it ok? the progress weve made means nothing becuase we would still have survived, we would still have survived if the germans won WW2, but no one thinks that would be a good place for us to be.

why should we settle for survival? why shouldnt humanity want to progress and learn more and live longer?

 

Listen, what you say does not make them rights though. Those things aren't ours to give out, it's the goverments. Sure, I can see how it's the peoples to give out, since we pay the taxes and all, but if the goverment was corrupt they could just pocket the money, or use it tward other means.

Sure, the fact that we have education and healthcare (what little of it in america) is great. But should we expect to have them? Yes, considering the status of my country, but we should still be grateful that we aren't like those other "developing" countries that haven't had those things for a long time. And the way things are going, you can expect americans to not have anything that resembles a government to handle these things before long :P

Everybody should be grateful for what they have, and the fact that you referred to them as your rights, well it pissed me offa bit.

 

So basically, people are too spoiled
