No particular reason. There isn't a specific set of criteria to get a thread stickied. Send me a link via PM and I'll take a look.

Been waiting three days to reply to this. Inalienable rights do not come from government. What the government gives, the government can be take away. Take a look at the Declaration of Independence, which is clear where our inalienable rights come from.
That said, people who cite free speech rights on private forums should be mocked. That's ridiculous.
Those rights are granted to you by the government, whether or not they decide to take credit or give it to a "Creator". If you want to get really specific, people only have the rights that they can take for themselves and defend for themselves, but that's a really bleak worldview. For all intents and purposes your government lays out your rights and you either agree to them, leave, become a politician, or become a criminal.
CCMark since you are the Government in Crime City you should take a look at the thread above this one. you Have Politicians, Criminals and people leaving. Use some of those rights and break it up!
If you're going to adopt the terminology of natural law theory, you should understand it, mark. Words like "inalienable" shouldn't be tossed around haphazardly.
Wow...this was a great thread.
to stay OT Swifty.
I believe it is one if by land, two if by see
