i love how people believe in "rights"
what "human rights" comes down to is what the govt believes it should give you based on various social phenomena and attitudes there is no such thing as a human right in the real world, they dont exist. privileges exist, and you are either lucky enough to have them or you arent. for example, what we consider a human right in america- right to free speech, isnt a right at all in many parts of the world. the fact that we've called it a right is deceptive and hilarious to me, i guess. its just a privilege americans are lucky to have because their government allows it. ps- im not saying this has anything to do with my POV on school tuition in britain. i would probably be out there in the streets myself. just an observation.
