[QUOTE="Lee, post: 126280, member: 1301"] Heh Narayonjot ji, No I think we are connecting fine, we merely disagree on a few points. I understand this concept of social contract, indeed it is one I firmly agree with yet, from what source does such things come from. Has such a contract always been there? I suppose that the concept of a social contract is nothing more than what the majority want, need or expect from their rulers. As such then how can a want, or a need or an expectation possibly be an inherent right? In out political system at the moment, well at least in the UK, I really can't speak for the rest of the world, there is a huge push towards what people see as fairness. we want a fairer voting system, we want a fair goverment, we all want to be treated fairly, and the best amongst us wish to see all of us treated fairly. Overall though this sense of fairness, is purly subjective. What I say is fair treatment, others may disagree. Yet in all of this, there is simply no evidance that sways me to belive that such rights as we humans have carbed out for ourselves are inherent at all. If we are stcuk with a bad goverment, we may well complain, or fight, or rebel. As is in our power to do, yet if faced with overwhelming strenght against our struggles, then we have no choice but to do as we are told. Rights are taken, by force or granted by noble rule. If you cannot keep your right, then how can it be one? To your points, but first, please do not mind the occasional hah hah's or Heh heh's, I assure you it is not mocking, nor does it signify that I feel I have somehow got one up on you. It is just how I talk, and means just that I am happy, or enjoying my talk, or similar. 1. What theory of justice makes a simple act of how we clothe ourselves legal today and illegal tomorrow? Well you are correct, there is none, well none that I can think ofthat makes sense. Yet that is not really the issue. As I explianed in my first post, I think such laws emerging are nowt more than the effects of a troubled world. Time and time and time again we can see that amongst the first 'thoughts' of the 'people' of a country when hard times hit, is to find a scapegoat. Historicly this is the foreigner in our midst. I can see no reason why this will change this time around, and in fact I see plenty of evidance that it has not done so. 2. When laws are based on political whim, we can call it social consensus if we like, as that also changes like the tides of the ocean.) But then are individuals protected by the law from the "tyranny of the majority?" Hahhah isn't another name for the tryany of the majority Demoncracy? It is true that you can't please all of the people all of the time. We are flawed creatures and our sociaties are not perfect for each law, some individuals aor groups are going to disgaree, and perhaps suffer as a consequance. I don't know the answer, I fear we are all in for a rought time for a little while yet, and those who find themselves in the minority will probably bare the brunt of it. [/QUOTE]
