QuotaSystem:
Absolutely spot on.

If GEJ had won, Nigeria wouldn't have even stood a chance of surviving this economic recession because the unabated stealing of whatever is left would have continued amidst the typical atmosphere of impunity, and Jonacrook wouldn't have given a damn because he would then have nothing to lose as he wouldn't need to seek re-election any longer.

Thank goodness the corrupt IB lost.

Hedonistically:
This is a remarkably stupid point of view by a remarkably dishonest man -

plaetton baba so you have finally graced my thread after all this while abi,,,oya make i pop champagne for you

I have waited for this report for months. We are where we are because we wasted precious petrodollar subsidizing import to the detriment of exporters who hold the key to our growth.

You consciously evolve as part of the evolution of everything?

MrPresident1:
Interesting

So you evolve too? Personally, and as a part of everything that evolves?

do you regard the sun as deity?

Okay ma. While am not the Op my understanding of the article is that he is trying to convince atheists against their arguement that God was evil to have ordered the Jews to destroy the seven Cannanitish nations.
His arguement, which i consider plausible, is that the people of those nations were living a brutish and cruel idolatery life by sacrificing their children for their idols.
In addition, fathers made their children go through the fire for Molech, their idol and vice versa.
Therefore, God said that the people would be a bad influence on the Jews if assimilation is allowed amongst them hence His commandment to them to destroy the nations.

Nigerians should rejoice that Buhari won the last election. It could have been far worse than it is now. God gave us exactly what we needed at the time we needed it.

buari does not even have his official speech writter no wonder he's a dullard.

KINGMAKER001:
not only that he plagiarized,, he's also acting opposite of what he said by categorising the 98% and 5%...There's always a day of reckoning!

Stop spewing trash and get a job. Most of the economic projections were positive and it shall be so by God's grace.

We could say this in some basic sense towards some domesticated animals like Dogs.



Far, we are chauvnistic about our own kind, most animals are - most mammals do not eat their offsprings or their own kind



Is there any more to the definition of basic rights baba?

johnydon22:
very good argument you have presented sir - permit me to approach this from a very subtle angle.

Children

Our Children have rights at least basic rights even though we cannot subject them to our legal jurisdiction on several matters regarding ethics and norms.

So can't one per say argue that just like we accord our children these basic rights like right to live, freedom, religion, thoughts and so on, can't we also accord other animals the basic rights within the reach of their behaviourial potential or existential needs - as we know humans threaten their very existence.

something like rights to freedom [the zoos are to be taken down]

right to live [except their is need for consumption the natural order takes it course]

right to protection from sexual exploitation

etc.

HardMirror:
Exactly
I never agreed that humans have rights. Humans don't have rights. Where is the rights? There are only agreed rights.
We create rights for ourselves.

On thursday 14/09/2016 i went for the usual Thinker's pub discussion hosted every two weeks by our very own MrAnony1, it was fun as usual..

Going straight to the topic of discussion as you may have well deducted from the heading of the thread.

Do animals have rights?

Let me define what Right is Going by the definition on Wikipedia encyclopedia we may define right as

Rights are legal, social, or ethical principles of freedom or entitlement

Now the floor is open, it is an open discussion unrestricted to all.

Do you think animals should have or have rights?

If yes bring your reason and points - if no also bring your points

Let's discuss them

[N.B: You may present your argument from every angle whether scientific, philosophical, religious - all premises are welcome, these diverse pool of tapping ideas will make it more interesting and challenging.]

Let us also deal with each other more kindly as we engage in a free and peaceful battle of ideas using our words as Ammo.

DeepSight:
How therefore is it not possible for a person to see you and know you at once, upon beholding you in the physical?

Contemplate this question carefully and stop giving it shallow thought, absent introspection and settlement:

Are you not therefore invisible?

Indeed, how many times have you seen yourself, much less how many times have you been seen by another person?

DeepSight:
Are you not invisible?

DeepSight:
There cannot even arise the question of psychology without a being to whom that psychology is attached. This is the same way there cannot arise the question of a body without a being to whom that body belongs. That being, as I have shown you, cannot be mere meat.

DeepSight:
You are woefully wrong and I feel sad for you. Nevertheless, everyone is entitled to their point of view, however shallow and vacant of introspection it may be.

PS: Is this (Jackbizzle) another handle for Plaetton?

Paperwhite:
Great leaders takes responsibility for what their governance have produced,but Buhari is far from it.This is a serious indictment on this fool.So the national assembly should immediately initiate impeachment proceedings on Buhari for failure of quality governance after all he nominated & forwarded the names of the [/b]"incompetent ministers"[b] for NASS consideration & approval.Besides Buhari himself is also the [/b]Incompetent Minister[b] of Petroleum.Nigeria just negodu your president.
