RE: Are women who dress provocatively responsible for unwanted attention, or should men learn to control themselves? The @ecotrain question of the week
Human rights and wrongs are not determined by Justice, but by Might. Disguise it as you may.
Not sure I understand what you're saying there so if my reply is not relevant, I apologize. but..
Human rights and wrongs aren't determined by anything, they are what they are like the truth, they're not going anywhere, still the same irregardless of laws, the prevailing morals of the day, or who's got the biggest gun.
Human rights and wrongs are determined by the people with the most amount of cash.
That's why there is no universal right and wrong, because its different in many places because there are different people in power.
Laws, religion, etc. decide whats right and wrong, but we have different laws and religions everywhere (and those are made by the people in power). There is no universal right and wrong.
Whats right for you might be completely wrong in some other place.
Gay pride is cool here in some western places, in some Arab places you will lose your head for it.
That's what I mean when I say that right and wrong are not determined by justice but by might.
What is justice for you might be crime for others.
Gotcha... thanks for the clarification. Tyranny's flavor of the day does make the laws, agreed.
Although they're illegitimate, they're backed up by force.
Yes and what is illegitimate is also decided by them or rather through force haha :D
I hear ya but I personally, do not recognize any authority but the truth. I know tyranny when I see it though.
