Basically what i was getting at is that certain right exist reguardless of what any law or group of people say.
By your logic, if you came into my home and started using racial slurs to my family or me I would not have the right to ask you to leave because free speech is a human right. How many Jehovah's witnessed knocked on your door? Did you know that when you turned them away you were violating their basic human rights?
It's naive to think that laws are enforced according to the spirit of the law as opposed to the wording of the law. Ever hear of "loopholes"?
You consider "free speech" a basic human right because you live in democracy. Have you visited any other countries that inhibit speech? Is their country violating a human right? Why hasn't the U.N. stepped in to help the suffering people?
I suggest you read the constitution. It clearly limits congress' power, but it does not guarantee you anything. The Bill of Rights is more than a tool, it's a legal document.
The rights themselves do not come from the document, which is why it is worded the way it is
I agree with you. We have no rights. The only rights we have are called Miranda.
Please include the whole comment. The previous poster took it out of context.
- Since I'm not personally convinced, it's not going into my tree.
It's as simple as that. I take stuff that I feel is good. Often that
feeling of goodness comes from trusting the person who sends it to me,
simply by past performance. At other times, it is because I think the
feature is cool, or well done, or whatever.
Hint: if you want stuff in my tree, make me trust you. Or work on
things that I feel are innately interesting. Don't bother dragging me
into your flame-wars and trying to convince me that I "must" apply your
patches.
- If it doesn't go into my tree, is that bad?
NO! Open source is all about _other_ people being able to make their
changes. It by no means means that those changes have to be accepted
back: the license basically only boils down to that I must be _able_ to
accept them back. But the really important thing, the thing that really
makes a difference, is that you, your dog, and your company can make
your OWN changes.
He said it, and the previous poster said it as well. It's open source. If you don't like what he includes in his tree. Go make your own fucking Kernel or use someone elses.
