In a legal sense, it also means to give all the ability. It's a right as in a government program for all. So if the US made it legal for all adults to beat children, that would be an entitlement, and thus a right.

That's not the kind of "rights" I am talking about.

 Again, from the Wiki page:

"As a legal term, entitlement carries no value judgment: it simply denotes a right granted. For example in the United States of America, social security is an entitlement program."

So if the government does something flat out wrong, yet makes it law, it's still a "right".

There are many ways to look at my post, and not consider me an idiot for posting it. Fastyxx seems to want to imply otherwise, as it seems to be the only way he can argue. At least you come with a position other then "You suck".

Then again, your intelligent, so it's not all you have to cling to.

Not all entitlements are human rights, but that does not mean no entitlements are human rights.
