There's nothing new about the practice. It becoming a human right would certainly be new.

That's like saying backhanding your kid is a human right. Every human on the planet practiced it forever.

  • Their point is doing a thing for a long time doesn't enshrine it as a right.

    The comment before could have said "should be a human right".

    imo it's very frustrating having people say "thing I want is a right". What gives them that right? Are all laws not violation of rights if you extend that

    • They are completely ignoring the context of this whole thread, which exists because the highest court in the land (Kenyan land, that is) has affirmed that right.

      Ggp's is as absurd as a North Korean commenting on a SCOTUS ruling on the right to a fair trial by saying "This is a new human right I didn't even know I had."
