> It’s hilarious watching all the posters tell OP he’s mistaken about a life experience he had.

This is a pretty bullshit reading of the comment you replied to, which was about the nature of "rights" as a social agreement rather than something natural.

To add to your comment, nobody says OP’s experience is incorrect. Instead, the comment thinking4real takes reflexive offence to seeks to explain it, not demean it.

Said comment seized on one phrase, jumped to a conclusion about what the top-level's friend's actual misunderstanding was, and chastized them for not agreeing with their guess. We don't know if the top-level commenter's judgment is correct, but the rest of us certainly don't have enough evidence to be so confident they're wrong.
