Human rights are my passion in life and seeing to it that people are afforded them and that they are inalienable.
I personally look more or less to this:
http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/
Explanation of the above:
http://en.wikipedia....of_Human_Rights
It is a bill of rights that many countries have agreed to. It is really really long and a good read if you have the time,
it starts off with a preamble but the first article is
"All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood."
It includes other things such as 'life, liberty and the security of your person' similar to what you said Napi. It also includes your right to marriage (also to equal rights at its dissolution should that occur.) You have the right to freedom, slavery is abhorred.
You have a right to public services, peaceful assembly and association (I'm sure you've heard this in regards to the Ferguson news as of late.)
You have the right to leisure time & rest.
You have a right to the live in a place where your rights can be fully realized.
You have a right to property, to leave your country when you should so choose.
You have a right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty.
The final article speaks to that not using one article to abolish other articles, etc.
I find the whole thing very compelling, it inspires me as a human being and while many believe it to be unattainable I believe in a progressive society it could one day be fully realized.
There are other things I believe in not necessarily explicitly listed in those rights but I believe in those too and think they fall under the jurisdiction of most of the articles. Amnesty is constantly trying to get different things added.
http://en.wikipedia....olitical_Rights
and
http://en.wikipedia....Cultural_Rights
are also other lists of rights and some great info.
I know wikipedia isn't the realm of reliable information but it's a solid place to start and the sources at the bottom are great places to lead off of.
Seriously my passion in life :3
The right to enjoy sex to the fullest, aka male and female circumcision. No person's genitals should be mutilated without their consent.
I very much agree with this and it is a constant ongoing battle between namely religious folk who have done it for who knows how long and those that say it is genital mutilation regardless and a form of abuse.
I won't take sides because I do believe in religious freedoms but only to the extent that you don't harm or impose those on others. Making a permanent and irreversible choice that can destroy your child's sexuality is very much harming/imposing those on said child. So I would never allow it to be done to my child unless medically necessary (which does happen) but I can see why a religious person would also fight for what they have done as custom for countless generations.
However, I will take a side and say that progression is necessary and evolving in all aspects: spiritually, physically, mentally, as a society, etc.
TLDR: I LOVE HUMAN RIGHTS AND I THINK ALL PEOPLE SHOULD LOVE EACH OTHER AND NOT CUT EACH OTHERS NAUGHTY BITS. sorry if this is written poorly or grammatically incorrect. I went on a tangent =| Love me anyway pls.
