Water - a human right?

I said that I think individual humans have a greater capacity to cure than to kill. No one individual human is responsible for global warming and the deaths it will almost definatley cause. But, for…

Water - a human right?

Yeah, but anyone could grow up to be a fascist manical serial killer, but that is no reason to let them die. It is far more likely that they will grow up to be good, productive citizens. Besides, if…

When is murder justified?

I agree. I mean, if the person is already in prison, then they can't do any more harm to anyone, and killing them can not undo the harm that they already did.

When is murder justified?

I thinkk murder is justified when you are killing one to save a thousand. If more people will die from you not killing them, then it is justified. That is, as long as other options, such as incarcera…

Said it better than me in fewer words. :)

I'm not talking about the future I know that some day we may not have enough water but right now we have more then enough. When you're making decisions based around something as vital to life as water, you have to think about the future. Not doing…

Just read through the entire thread. MisterShadow made many good arguments. My question is, what was the purpose of the UN making the vote on water being a human right? Was it to force each nation to find a way of providing clean water for its peopl…

I'm not horrified at all. Crap like this happens way too much for me to react much any more.

you believe in private property. how do you get it? there used to be just land and water and people living. to have private property someone must have taken it and defended it and then sold it or inheritet. in any case all private property is theft…

This makes me think differently about chicken and fish!

I agree with you. This is possibly why our Premier did not want to say yes. In times of drought, there should be a clause that would open up fresh water reserves for drinking but to channel water from one area to cover another area... you might as w…

Ok. I've forgotten to post this tidbit. Did any of you know there are companies that are taking polar ice (icebergs) and selling it to Saudi Arabia? This has been going on for a long time, too. I found a few links but this one was more interesting…

My country is Canada and Venison isn't an option for water. ;)

Thank you.

if it is still to much it should be subsedized. as should food abd shelter. not mansions and caviar and swimming pools but enough to live. Reasonable enough given that the government of the country has the money to provide for these subsidies. In t…

If the firms are under contract, then they get taken to court. If that isn't happening, then either the contracts are bad or the countries are corrupt. Either way, the answer is not to establish a "right to water" and take their property with a new…

water as private property is one thing if you are talking about someones well being invaded. rivers, lakes, aquifers are a different matter. coca cola taking water from farmers by draining aquifers, foreaign firms buying water rights and then not de…

@MisterShadow - I think that you stepped over a line here. @sabelmouse - We aren't arguing against water "rights" but that they need to be done in the right way. You can't force someone to sell or give something away, just because they have a lot o…

it's to much if people can't afford it and those that provide the service make more money than they need to life. Which is why I said the only reasonable thing to do would be to make all water distribution companies into non-profit organizations (o…
