> be the difference causing someone to lose a house, not get a job, not find legal help, be unaware of a disaster All of these problems can be solved without the internet. Also, access to the internet does not absolutely solve these problems.

But it does help, right? I can say the same thing about wearing clothes (human right to have clothing) - I can get a job, not lose a house, find legal help, and be aware of a disaster if I was completely butt naked all the time. So you're argument is that because you CAN get through it, it's not necessary to call it a human right? Also owning clothes doesn't absolutely solve those problems either right?

@rhacker I don't think its a human right to have clothes though. I don't think anyone should be able to steal your clothes, but I don't think anyone should have to give you clothes either..

  > I don't think its a human right to have clothes though. I don't think anyone should be able to steal your clothes, but I don't think anyone should have to give you clothes either.. To think that a "human right to have clothes" means your clothes will be stolen or you will be forced to give clothes is pretty strange. If you are a developer lead at Apple I assume you pay taxes? Those Taxes are fundamentally supporting lots of initiatives like, giving homeless people clothes, food, housing. https://datalab.usaspending.gov/homelessness-analysis.html https://datalab.usaspending.gov/homelessness-analysis.html I'm going to take a quick guess that you don't think humans should have "any" rights? I could be wrong. If you enlighten me on what human rights you DO believe in, I can walk you through my argument a lot better.
