Edit: You are using the false dilemma wrongly. Here's an example of a false dilemma: "Well, we need to be happy. So, do you want consumerism? Or communism? There's no third option." We can still find ways to be happy in a bad system, whether or not we engage in politics.

Original reply: That's what I'm saying. How would you know the concept of "health" if being unhealthy wasn't a thing? Same thing with happiness.

You can't have happiness without having sadness. In the same way, you couldn't have things get better if things couldn't get worse. They are two parts of the same coin. So enjoy the moment. Do not let some roadbumps throw you off the road. ;)

Man, I hate question headlines. They entice you to click a link while promising an answer that may not come. You do get ads, though.

Wish we lived in a society were titles were like:

• Is global warming a hoax? No.
• Are you eating microplastics? Probably.
• Did the president have unspoken relationships with a donkey? No proof, but you are free to speculate.

Edit: Nothing against OP. I'm just venting about this little thing.

They aren't real "rights", but they are real. You just defined them.

I don't mean to be hard headed. I feel like I agree with you since the beginning on the idea of it. I'm just stuck on the "isn't real" part of it.

Because I can very easily say "rights" aren't real as well. It's just pixels on a screen. :)

No, it's in there. The "rights" are part of a number of societal rules which depend on the "dance" (of life). In this case, the fighting for said rights and communicating that they exist are part of the "dance".

The rest of it I was describing life, because consequences matter where I live at least. And since it seemed "natural rights" were bound only by the consequences you are willing to take, then they are the same as life itself, which I thought was pretty funny.

I mean, life is as life is. Would you stop talking on the street if society decides that is a crime, or if that means you'll be discriminated against? Some people might, but you can't expect everyone to do it.

It's all a big dance and societal rules fluctuate depending on who's dancing. You just gotta dare live life (preferably in a good way).

It's ok, I hereby declare it is a natural right to face the consequences of your actions.

In all of life there is a balance.

If I watch a movie I'm constantly criticizing stuff. Like, "omg, pay the writers more, this sucks" or "No! You can't share the same keyboard at the same time! Argh!"... I feel like an old man xD

After reading your comment I agree with you. I was being fat-phobic inadvertently.

Ah, I see. I tunnel-vision'd on that one comment. But ye, that's a fair point.

Is it OK to mock the femininity of a gay right winger? He could act straight with a “kick in the butt”

Then what did you mean by this question?
