States' Rights

1) A reference to the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

2) A code word that politicians use to signal to racists that they too, are racist. Used in the past to signal that you support segregation and Jim Crow laws.

When Strom Thurmond said he believed in State's Rights, he really meant that he wanted to keep segregation legal in the South.

If you believe in States' Rights but want to pass the Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, you are a hypocrite.

Human Rights

Human Rights are rights that are ours simply because we are human. Many famous organizations have devoted their interests to these rights.

Everyone should be treated equally.

Equal Rights

In my personal opinion it means that everyone no matter their skin color, sexuality, or gender should be allowed to same rights as everyone else.

All people should have Equal Rights.

smoker's rights

The misguided and incorrect notion that smokers have, or should have, rights related to their smoking. Chavs and other forms of white trash believe in smoker's rights just like children believe in the tooth fairy. Many people who feel entitled to smoker's rights also feel they are entitled to welfare and Medicaid.

The big fat chav slob got upset when told to put out her cigarette in the restaurant and started yelling "smoker's rights" until everyone laughed at her as she was thrown out of the place. She felt that she had a right to make others smell her gross odor, instead of others having a right to clean air while they enjoyed their dinner. She, of course, was also one of those idiots who thinks that it's unconstitutional to require someone to get a driver license to drive on publicly built and owned roads, to pay income taxes (even though the 16th Amendment explicitly authorizes them). She's probably also so stupid that she doesn't realize she'll get cancer soon, and look wrinkled and ugly before she's 30 years old.

self righteous

Being smugly superior morally to everyone else.

Normal Guy: Hey want to go get a beer?

Guy #2: No sorry, drinking destroys the mind and body. You shouldn't drink.

Normal Guy: What a self righteous bastard.
