 Be honest and be true to yourself.

I believe in sharing only with those people who can't work due to disability, the poor elderly population, the developmentally disabled and the mentally ill.  There are so many young people who are receiving government money and I think that they should go to work and make their own money to support themselves.

    A lot of them don't have a right to have 5-6 kids and then be on Medicaid and government assistance.  We are being taxed too much because there are those who believe that having more kids will bring them more money.  I just don't understand the kind of mentality that these people have.  No wonder they want to have a Socialist country  and elect a man who has Socialist leanings because practically everything is spoonfed to them.  This is becoming a lazy, unmotivated society and we are doomed if they will succeed to elect a Socialist President.

Hi Profitbob,

    I believe in individual right as long as it won't impinge on the rights of other people.

I have the right to choose my friends but those are supposed to be friends who don't do any harm to others.

I have the right to work hard, earn a good living, maintain a comfortable lifestyle, but I won't appreciate it if a group of people think that they have the right to take what I worked for just because they don't like others to have more than they have.

I believe in my right to pursue my dream to be financially well off without the fear that I will be taxed heavily just because there are others who don't prosper because they don't have the drive to succeed and because of their sheer  laziness.

 I believe in my individual right to live in a society that still believes in free enterprise and I hope to God that our country will  not become a Socialist country.

Individual rights should always come first therefore it will then pay forward to groups rights.  It's called respect.  Please understand that if you always be who you should be, do what you should do morally then you are a person who will turn things around if it is one person at a time.

Those are my thoughts. I welcome yours.

 

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

 

A 35 word sentence!

One would think with such verbiage the sentence would be much  clearer.

Without individual rights there are no group rights.

They are equally precious and need to be balanced.

Some where in Arkansas.

Victims of circumstance owe it to fate. Victims of choice owe it to themselves.

AMEN!

These people remind me of the married woman living in Ostrava whose husband was very frequently not home. She would wring her hands and ask, "Where is my Czech?"
