  Rights vs Privileges by subbywan2008-10-21 09:50:23
    I'm not sure of what you're saying in one respect by MatthewDBA2008-10-21 09:55:38
      Don't mind at all. by subbywan2008-10-21 09:59:03
        Would you say then by MatthewDBA2008-10-21 10:05:06
          Not necessarily, depending on what you mean by by subbywan2008-10-21 10:12:01
            If no other person ever interacts with the hermit by MatthewDBA2008-10-21 10:15:37
              Only if he gives them to himself, and can by subbywan2008-10-21 10:16:09
                It just seems odd to me by MatthewDBA2008-10-21 10:17:05

                          Much like two wrongs don't make a right by subbywan2008-10-21 11:09:29
                            I think maybe I was misunderstanding by MatthewDBA 2008-10-21 11:17:11
When you distinguished between "right" and "morally right," did you intend the first use ("right") to be the noun we were discussing, or the adjective? For some reason I took it as the adjective - but it sounds now as if you meant the noun, which actually makes more sense here.

I would, however, hold that it is morally wrong to abrogate a right of another (or even of oneself) - that is, that it is not right to abrogate a right. That, however, gets into Aristotelian ethics.
