Aren’t rights what we decide as a society are rights?

“Those aren’t rights”.

Life is pointless. Everything that has meaning to humans is a made up a concept. There is no universal truth.

Anything can be a right if you decide it is. It’s all arbitrary.

I bet I could find somewhere to spit in the rich guys house, like if I had to. But I'd prefer to wait till the rich guys gone out of the room. He might not appreciate this fun little challenge.

Agreed..

“Rights” given can be taken away.
If he thinks about it, I think most rational men would conclude all men should have the right to his own thoughts. Even those who haven't thought of it would likely naturally be offended if they were prohibited.
@DffrntDrmmr why just men? Strange. Do only men have rights?
@666Maggotz "Men" can be used in at least two different contexts: 1. Referring to two or more male individuals and 2. Referring to all of mankind, females included.

The second example probably stems from patriarchal society. I don't use it here to exclude females but as representing both sexes. It's a learned expression. I possibly could adapt to a substitute — what do you recommend?
@DffrntDrmmr I mean whatever you want. But to me it just feels weird to just say men.
