Don't even know where to begin addressing the level of delusion here, I guess it's probably best to not bother.  I thought you were just being spiky about human rights around the world, but turns out you've overdosed on the crazy.  Thanks for being honest, my ignore list appreciates it.

Nope just being realistic. Took the rose colored glasses off a long time ago. Check back when you do the same.

There is no such thing as “human rights.” If there was, everyone would have them. Apple should stop buckling to pressure from radical progressive groups and stay laser-focused on products and profitability. If any execs from Apple want to be political, they should do it on their own time and not use Apple’s money to do it.

Thankfully the world disagrees with this myopic mindset. 

Maybe yours does, but for the most part the real world doesn’t give a rat’s ass about you or anyone else. It sounds harsh, but so is the real world. If “the world” cared you wouldn’t have the world you have.

That's why we establish rights, doofus, to mold the world that we want to live in.

You and your world order can “establish” whatever you want, (I want free ice cream on Tuesday’s) doesn’t mean anyone else will listen. We can’t even follow our country’s own Bill of Rights. Good luck getting some Central American/Middle Eastern/East Asian to follow our western “established rights”. The world is a tough, mean, place.

I’ll wager I have seen a lot more of the world than you have and yes the consensus of people is that human rights are very real. 

Yeah, human rights is a big misnomer...

Should clean water be a human right?  I think all of us here would say 'yes', and yet there are plenty of places in Africa which still don't have clean water.

So @razorpit is correct I'm afraid, the world just doesn't give two f*cks.

The only “rights” which really matter are those which are legally defensible from predation by government AND from mobs. This is why I like the US Constitution’s Bill of Rights.

LOL... It's the government that codifies, enforces and supports those rights.   They are there BECAUSE of government, not in spite of government.   Yeh, sometimes the people have to nudge things along a little -- thus we saw suffrage movement in the early 20th century, the race riots in the 60's and now again in the 2020's.   But eventually, the government catches up and codifies, enforces and supports those rights.

...or not, in the case of governments such as the People's Republic of China, that are backtracking on already poor human rights records.

Back to right wing China propaganda again?   Yawn....

By the way, U.S. record on human rights is far worse than China's.   They don't shoot black people in the back there. 

Certainly not; China would shoot them cleanly and efficiently in a hospital, and then harvest their organs.

https://www.healtheuropa.eu/im-going-to-china-theyre-shooting-my-donor/97063/

"What do you know about the current situation regarding forced organ harvesting in China?

My understanding is that China is still performing a large number of transplants – far more than any official figures would indicate – and that vast [quantities of] organs are sourced from prisoners of conscience.

A lot of those prisoners are Falun Gong practitioners, who are still incarcerated in large numbers; but based on evidence that some women gave who have been incarcerated in the Uyghur prisons fairly recently, almost certainly people from the Uyghur community are being harvested as well.

What first drew your attention to the forced organ harvesting of prisoners of conscience in China?

I was watching the film Hard to Believe [a 2016 documentary investigating forced organ harvesting in China], which was produced by Kay Rubacek and directed by Ken Stone. It presents itself as a mystery: all these transplants are happening in China, where could all the organs be coming from? It’s a very compelling documentary, and I saw it and I thought: goodness. I hadn’t really been aware of the nature of the allegations of what was happening in China."

Your cognitive dissonance with be palpable should President Trump not re-elected, and the next administration continues a hardline on China, which is likely.

I didn't even bother to read your China obsessed nonsense.

This thread is not about China.   Try not to hijack it

LOL.

Human Rights, or lack thereof, is most certainly an issue with China, but nice attempt at deflection.

Sorry, no deflection.  The article never mentioned China or anything about China.   It is you who introduced it and me who called you on it.  You seem obsessed.

You seem blind to the human rights violations.

You mean the accusations?   Thanks, but I'll wait for facts.

Meanwhile, why are you ignoring the human rights violations that go on right here in this country?   You know, like the right to life.

.... Oh I get it.   Trump is telling you:  "Hey, look over there!"

  The party of abortion and the party that runs the cities with the highest black on black violence preaching about human rights and the right to life. George you are hilarious.

LOL, these aren’t race riots. These are marxist revolutions. Race riots don’t have spoiled little white kids attacking mom and pop business with their skateboards and Captain America garbage can lids as shields. Marxist riots do. Most of these riots have ONE race in them, and it isn’t the one you think it is.

When black people riot in America, black people get shot. When white people riot in America, black people get shot.

Other than during these Marxist protests, when do white people riot?

True, and the protests / riots are happening because, too often, they get themselves shot for the crime of "Driving while black" -- while the police officer enjoys his immunity from the law he is supposed to be enforcing and suffers no consequences beyond a few weeks of "desk duty".   In the worst case, he moves to a neighboring precinct.

We should have listened to Kaepernik.

Not even remotely true. Driving while black, please. How about driving while black, committing a traffic violation, and then arguing with the police when simply asked for license and registration? Never hear about the hundreds of black people pulled over daily where they just abide by the officer’s orders do you? No, you hear about the one with a lethal level of fentanyl in his system hourly though. Or the one grabbing for his knife.

We are listening to Kaepernik and look where that’s gotten us. We now think it’s acceptable to grab a drink from someone’s table, drink it, and then smash the glass on the ground.

Well Prosser just blew his credibility...

”Looks like I was correct about there being a Press Release today, just not about what was in it.”

That and his source was probably just outed and fired.
