Clearly there are certain human rights that should be upheld - the right to food, water, exercise and so on. However, the right to access pornography, drug addiction treatment, gender reassignment surgey etc. should not be available.plasfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04147832824325749618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7235571460697942901.post-53100894658098559152007-07-09T12:33:00.000-07:002007-07-09T12:33:00.000-07:00The idea of being a citizen should be earned not j...The idea of being a citizen should be earned not just a right. To create good citizens is aboiut time not money. Its also about investment from the governement, the school and the parents. Good citizens are made not born. The government, local councils need to create an environment where people feel they are part of the community. Building a community centre on an estate is not enough. <BR/>The idea that memebers of a comunity can somehow take it upon themselves to be outside of the common sense of citizenship and still be be treated and have the same rights as those who do do contribute is farcical. If someone attacks a nurse or ambulance person then they should have to see what the fallout is like, by being sentenced to a month cleaning up an A&E department, in a bright pink bunny suit. It destroys any sense of being tough and also makes them a target for attack by others of the same disposition as themselves. <BR/>Its about taking responsibility. This has to come from the top, so when a politician screws up, lets not have rhetoric but honesty, when a footballer falls over in the penalty area lets stop with the dirty looks and the protestations of innocence, (its on tv now remember) lets have a bit of taking resposibility. So when the young feel like doing something they have to understand that it was they, not their homelife, their race, colour, creed or the fact that they have had a drink, drug or just a bad day, that has to be responsible.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423469181248733208noreply@blogger.com
