thewall2: I have the right to be treated with respect.
True, but some must also have to earn that respect.
In response to: I have the right to say 'no' and not feel guilty.
You also have the right to say 'yes' & not feel guilty.
In response to: I have the right to experience and express my feelings.
Agree, just don't go overboard in doing so.. (applies to everyone).
In response to: I have the right to take time for myself.
Yes, though I suspect most here have too much of that and want to share their valuable time with someone special.
In response to: I have the right to change my mind.
You can change it as often as you like, especially relevant during elections!!
In response to: I have the right to ask for what I WANT.
Yes, but as others have said elsewhere, knowing what you want & getting it are completely different.
In response to: I have the right to ask for information.
True, and going a bit further, you can choose to ignore that information.
In response to: I have the right to make mistakes.
I would not think of it as a right per say, more that it is an element of what makes a person human and not a robert, sorry robot...
In response to: I have the right to do less than I AM humanly capable of.
You are free to do anything you want, (legally), as long as it suits you and does not affect others in a bad way.
In response to: I have the right to feel good about myself.
Amen to that, and the more good days there are than the bad ones, even better.
I have the right to act only in ways that promote my dignity and self-respect as long as others are not violated in the process. Agree, though violated is a bit strong for me, just do not ram it down anyones throat.
