News for you! Your rights ARE ABSOLUTE! Never mind the propaganda....
But that does not mean that you have a right to harm others, for that is not part of any definition of a right I have ever seen or subscribed to. (Hence if you are harming someone it is not a right by definition.)
Saying that rights are not absolute is a semantical game played by government to get the camels nose under the tent and to begin destroying those rights.
So why do people constantly say really STUPID things like:
"Free speech does not give you the right to play your music loudly at 2 am."
Or "Owning a gun does not give you the right to shoot someone in the head."
Don't you see that these are 2 different actions? Yelling "fire" in a crowded theater is not free speech. It is harming other people. Shooting a person in cold blood is not gun ownership or self defense or a right, it's harming another with a special name: "murder".
It amazes me that I have to continually address these stupid absurd comments. The government schools have done a wonderful job of dumbing people down.....
Your rights ARE absolute and don't you ever forget it. That is unless you want to lose them.

The Starbucks Gay marriage flap
CHRISTIANS WANT TO BOYCOTT STARBUCKS OVER THEIR MARRIAGE STATEMENT:
Before getting upset about what is a somewhat nonsensical and ambiguous statement from Starbucks, perhaps we ought to analyze our own views on marriage. For thousands of year marriage was principally a contract between a man a woman and God. Then about 100 years ago the State decided that it was going to take the place of God, and be the one that "blessed" a marriage all for the worthy purpose of keeping blacks and whites from intermarrying. Christians of course went along in mass, and someone like me that questions going to Caesar for a permission to marry is looked upon as someone with a screw lose. Let me remind you that going to Caesar is admitting that marriage is no longer a God given right, but permission granted to you by the State. If you don't see this, it is you that has the screw lose.
While the actions of Starbucks are certainly irritating, what happened to turning the other cheek? What has happened to discernment? There are literally dozens of other MORAL issues that are much more important such as government involvement in education, the Federal Reserve,
(yes the Federal Reserve is a moral issue and shame on you if you don't understand - perhaps you don't because of the government school you attended)
and the fact that you probably accept the State as the entity that marries people rather than God. ** In other words your view of marriage is as screwed up as that of Starbucks!
Perhaps Starbucks needs a talking to, but at the expense of ignoring dozens of more important issues? No wonder Christianity and the world are in such a mess.
