Nestle Chairman: Water is Not a Human Right, That's Extremist, Privatization is Best

[Broke Wave]

Who exactly are you arguing with here? Like I said earlier, you seem to be contrarian for no reason. Literally no one here believes that there is some empirical right to water, the same way pro-gay marriage homosexuals obviously know that gay marriage is not empirically a right when they say "we have a right to marriage."

We have no natural "right" to free speech... so what if a constitution says you do? Does that impact Africa? What if this corporate CEO said that there is no right to free speech in Africa... this is an extremist ideology... why wouldn't he be correct, following TWISM's troll line of thinking? How can we have a literalist discussion on the immorality or impracticality of what the CEO said? If he says they have no right, he doesn't mean it on a literal basis, he means it on a philosophical basis.

im not being contrarian, im just bringing balance, this thread has gone out of wack, i was actually prompted by the post where the person said "how can you own something that falls out of the sky" when in reality its perfectly normal to own "something that falls out of the sky", its always been like that

i think people are so thrown off by what they guy said they forget that private companies owning water is normal

Slightly off topic, again, but has there ever been an intelligent discussion in HL or KTL, regarding the ethics of homosexuality, its abundance in nature.

If numerous animals engage in acts of homosexuality, there should some sort implication, that being gay isn't as taboo, as mainstream media makes it seem...

freedom of speech is an individual right

the right to water, is an economic right, you have the right to buy and sell water, but in and of itself you dont have a right to water, water has always been considered a resource like land or minerals

the notion of the right to water is new, kinda like the right to have internet

Honestly, I haven't watched CNN since I was kid. My main sources for news are NPR(to the left), PBS(fairly neutral, a bit to the left) and France24(they're liberal as f*ck,)

But many people have a hard interpreting scientific information, due to the nature of it's complexity, hidden biases, and backroom agendas. The world of academia is far from perfect. Unfortunately numerous people are commonly duped by the false perception of prestigious labels such as "Harvard study", so they tend throw any ouch of knowledge, when encountering such documents.

Being a highly skeptical individual, such as yourself, the apparent biases that come along with backroom deals should come as no surprise. It isn't uncommon for data to be manipulated or represented in a misleading way.

As the case, with this study.


With that said, there's no need to even reply to me without reading the "cracked" article. It literally breaks down every component, I would otherwise being plagiarising / paraphrasing from.

Am i missing something here? Water should be controlled and monitored by municipalities/cities/states/provinces/governments. Not corporations or private ownership.

Water shouldn't be controlled by anyone just like air or land.

What if I have a well and I own my land, would that give me ownership of water and whatever else flows out of my land?

of course it does, that is my whole point, its yours and you can sell it if you want, where the hell do you think poland spring water comes from?

legally speaking, water is treated the same way any other resource is treated

ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY HAS PROVEN SUSCEPTIBLE TO ABUSE BY INDUSTRY, BROTHER! GOVERNMENT REGULATION HAS PROVEN EFFECTIVE IN ALLEVIATING THOSE PROBLEMS, DUDE! AND HYDROELECTRIC ENERGY IS A GOOD ALTERNATIVE TO MORE POLLUTING METHODS, MEAN GENE!

 

[VerbalIntercourse]

You did praise the Awlaki killing, and you condemned it in another post within days. Stop trying to pass your mental illness off as sarcasm.

Jump off a cliff a$$hole.

If I did praise it, it was sarcastic. I would never praise something like that. That's something you would do.

 

[VerbalIntercourse]

Honestly, this why I can't even read a full thread in The Coli or KTL.


The Man's argument was about Private property rights and Efficient Resource allocation.

Not a single person even addressed that issue. Somehow this thread became a subject about Drones, Hitler, Suicide nets and Fluoride. Yet, the subject of Efficient Resource allocation, the Tragedy of the commons and Privatization somehow just got lost in the fog.
