General Urban Cambridge Updates and Rumours

Your edit is ridiculous...you absolutely know that's not what I said, it is not the result of my logical line of thinking, and I don't appreicate you saying it is.

If 3% of the population want to vote for an authoritarian party, they have that right, and they do in fact exercise that right, as much as I disagree with it.

Choosing your government is a right, choosing the government for someone else is a will.

Ok so what happens when two minority "rights" clash? Are minorities only defined by ethnicity or are there other factors like, political ideology, religion etc?

Also define choosing the government for someone else? Are the majority not choosing the government for the minority. 

Basic human rights are basic human rights and they should be universal, regardless of majority opinion, but as soon as an issue goes beyond that nothing and no one should take precedence other than the will of the majority (which in this context can include peoples from minority groups because the will of the majority is the collective of all canadians or all peoples of a country) 

My edit was to make a point, it's like people who claim to be moral relativists but then say its objectively wrong to murder someone. You simply cant make that argument as moral relativist (note I'm not trying to call you a relativist I'm just using an example to articulate myself)

You also conveniently ignored the rest of my response however this discussion is clearly not worth our time.

There was nothing "convenient" about it, I simply didn't want to have a discussion with someone who I feel is going to misrepresent what I say...so I think we've found something we agree on.
