Comments by "Tony Wilson" (@tonywilson4713) on "7+ Anti-Vax Radio Hosts Dead of COVID" video.
I'm Australian but went to college in America and that infatuation is arguably America's biggest problem and its been a problem that has been coming for decades. I did engineering but had a bunch of college friends were pre-law and they loved dragging me into discussions particularly on the Amendments. I have eventually concluded that the Bill of Rights is one of the greatest achievements in human history. For the first time ever a nation CHOSE to enshrine certain basic rights for every member of its society. The tragedy of the that accomplishment is that it never placed the slightest onus on RESPONSIBILITY and how these days so many people seek their OWN SELFISH advantage. Look at how some people argue their right to say whatever they want. Many claim that you can say whatever you like so long as its not a threat, but what about the garbage COVID claims that are killing people. The brilliance of the 1st is that it guarantees that people can openly speak their grievances with the government. Yet so many 1st advocates haven't stopped pursuing Julian Assange for years. Look how the 2nd Amendment people talk. Their right to own a gun outweighs the basic right of people to send their children to school in safety. I'm not arguing their right to own guns that's enshrined but they have taken the arguments into stratospherically stupid levels. Look at the 3rd Amendment where Americans are guaranteed that if the government uses their property or land they have to be fairly compensated. Look at all those Amendments about basic legal rights. That limit the authorities to search your person or residence. The right to fair and speedy trials. The prevention of unusual or cruel punishment. AND YET America has in recent years given extraordinary levels of access to its security agencies. Even this comment can be logged, a file started and all of our computers scanned WITHOUT a warrant. America has tortured people at various sites around the world for most of the last 20 years and or held them in secret prisons without charges let alone trials. I'd venture that many of my old college friends would be very concerned about where America is these days considering what we used to talk about. It does amaze me at times the changes that have happened because Americans used to be so proud and so adamant about those rights.
