  Because they point out facts? Or do you really think there is an unrestricted right?

    That is what the idea of human rights liberals profess to believe in necessitates, yes.

    What those rights are, exactly, might be debatable, such as the difference between freedom of religion and freedom from religion, but you do believe in human rights, don’t you?

      Can you give a concrete example so we can understand?

      Of course I believe in human rights, but I also think there are limits to it. And you didn’t answer my question, what right do you believe should be unrestricted?

        Freedom from religion. The right to clean food and water. The right to self defense. The right to attempt escape from imprisonment. The right to a fair trial. The right to life, liberty, and security of person. The right of the abolition of slavery in all forms.

        Feel free to argue that last one, btw, liberals love to carve out exceptions to it.
