Controversial - the community to discuss controversial topics.
Challenge others opinions and be challenged on your own.
This is not a safe space nor an echo-chamber, you come here to discuss in a civilized way, no flaming, no insults!
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, "trust me bro" is not a valid argument.

And you're immediately wrong.
The exact thing that distinguishes rights is that they're universally held.
If they can be granted or withheld, then they're not rights - they're privileges.
Everything is a privilege, the only reason we have rights is because governments allow it, which means if tomorrow they decided rights don't exist, then they don't exist
