What is Human Right?

Firstly, I'd like to thank each and every one of you who partook and interpreted 'Human Rights' in its various forms.

Azcraigfozzy Foster Fahmi - "Human rights = understanding. Simply understanding one another will automatically lead to a common respect. People usually abuse those they don't understand. It is respect for the right to live as one would please (so long as it doesn't harm others), the right to be treated fairly and equally and to acknowledge the fact that we are all born the ... same way, and we will all expire one day - no one should be rendered more superior than others. There is no moral and ethical standard to impose on others. Doing things with "good intentions" can usually result in disastrous consequences as your "good intentions" may be a result of the environment/conditioning/constructs you grew up in and around and not necessarily what's best for others. There isn't a "norm" and that should also be respected and understood. Even though you may not agree with the cultural practices of others, it's important to respect those practices because it's hatred and fear of the unknown that usually breeds hatred, corruption and an abuse of human rights. We just don't understand one another; therefore, we don't respect one another.

The most noteworthy ones find a mention below:

Darn Small - "Human Rights...is a an enigmatic concept. In the west we like to roll it out of the war chest when it suits, and throw it around at each other and at others, yet we rarely hold ourselves up to account by the same accord. Human Rights...is hot air. We demand it for others, we demand it for ourselves, yet we don't mind when we are the ones destroying/taking/usurping it from others. It's a topic for the time rich, but not a requirement or courtesy that we'd extend others that really need it."

Kolby Peterson - "Human Rights is a fantastical, mystical idea that each man is treated equal without question. The reality however is that there is no such thing as human rights. The only people with rights are the people that are deemed worthy by the people trying to infringe upon everyone elses."

Morris L. Reid Jr. - "As a Native American Indian I define it as the ability to live without fear. Fear of retribution. Fear of who you are. Or the fear of being different."

Chansin Henriksen - "human right is overrated. human right is basicly a moral right that being back up by either logic reasons or legal right. it doesnt give you total freedom but rather take some so you can have some and other can have some. but its a blur line and a paradox concept. It give you the right to do it or have it, but the norm or legal right say, if you do... that we shut you down. and when human right is getting in the way, we can just throw it off the window like it doesnt exist. it happed before, it still happening and will continue so. the great purge, US-japanese thing, the war on terror. whats next? its controlled chaotic ^^"

Jason Cheung - "Human rights: normative rights conferred upon a person by virtue of humanity, but which may be limited as a consequence of their defaulting & proportionate act. The rights and default acts are defined differently depending on jurisdiction, so there is currently no universal set that applies to all states in the world."

Max Bondorovsky - "For every human to be treated equally with dignity, respect and self worth."

Political views

Jiho Jung - "in the US, its something you just yell out to "claim" it. in North Korea, ... LOL"

Andrew Periwinkle Hardy - "Human rights. That thing we don't have when we go to China."

Funny Side Up

Samuel James Montgomery Richardson - "Human rights are just like sex. Everyone thinks they deserve it. But only like half of them get it."

Grace Mimmo Fitzpatrick - "Is the opposite to Human Wrongs ;-)"

Conor Cannon - "every day public holiday with pay!!!!!!!!"

Michelle Pham - "...buying a churro(spell check) for one dollar(:"
