Rights.

I keep hearing people say that their rights are god given. If I remember right, England has 13, America has 11, Germany, if I am correct, though I may be wrong, has something like, 23 to 26, and Sweden only has 6.

If these are 'God' given rights, how come, for example, America, can take, and amend these rights. Does that not make them Human given rights, and therefore, not rights, but privileges?

Discuss.

That's only true assuming the judges don't put the constitution into force.  If the judges would actually read the damn constitution and stop making shit up as they go along (legislating from the bench), the rights written down on the paper would actually be worth something.
