Selene Gregoire 6,976 Posted July 21 (edited) Quote Inalienable right refers to rights that cannot be surrendered, sold or transferred to someone else, especially a natural right such as the right to own property. However, these rights can be transferred with the consent of the person possessing those rights. Inalienable is defined as incapable of being surrendered or transferred; at least without one's consent.[Morrison v. State, 252 S.W.2d 97, 101 (Mo. Ct. App. 1952)]. A person can surrender, sell or transfer inalienable rights by actual or constructive consent. The Declaration of Independence also speaks about unalienable rights. It says that that “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights like life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." These rights cannot be bartered away, or given away, or taken away except in punishment of crime. Governments are instituted to “secure," not grant or create, these rights. https://definitions.uslegal.com/i/inalienable-right/ Unalienable... inalienable... hmmm.

Haven’t you heard of “Orange is the New Black”? But I think Amina was referring to a different orange thing. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The entire point was that it was not a reference to his actual real skin tone. But if it makes you feel any better, I and my fellow Brits are wholly screwed now. Well, we were already but now it's official. Our only hope now is that Larry the cat might change the locks. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Generally I refrain from making fun of someone's appearance, and for sure if they can't help how they look. But when someone deliberately adopts a hair color that looks like something on a deranged clown I want to retain the right to comment, especially if said person represents the country I live in.

Below, for instance, is terrifyingly graphic evidence of why ban lines need to extend higher. 2 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
