I guess this is half-fair. Equity could be this, but it doesn't have to be. It's really an extension of the Golden Rule, isn't it? If I'm allowed X with these conditions, so should everyone be. You've added a condition I don't care about (citizenship or perhaps positive contributions to society), and gotten a different result.
You don’t care about citizenship because you misunderstand our world. Citizenship is vital to protecting individuals and their rights. We live in a world of nation states. Each person in the world was born into a specific nation state with particular aspects, featues, culture, and structure.
It is hateful and bigoted to disregard such, because that is an invitation to disregarding the rights and privileges of others and is imperialistic. It is the arrogance typical of the White Man's Burden crowd, who
just knew better than the people they conquered, slaughtered, and enslaved. It is the arrogance of the bureaucrats that instead of seving those in their stewardship insteads pushes to serve people outside their stewardship, therefore hurting their own people.
Citizenship is a essential consideration if you going to talk about nations and rights and privileges and responsibility. Nations are tools to protect local rights and are responsive to local issues. No one wants to be subject to distant bureaucrats that are tools of foreign corporations. Ask Greece or any nation which had IMF/World Bank austerity imposed. It is imperialism and hurtful to the people, but that is the result of ignoring sovereignty.
You really seem to lack a basic understanding of the world and ignore the societal structure. I would suggest more studying on the topic so that your idealism can have a logical and reasonable basis.
This is based on equating your country with your house, right?
Sorry if your limited understanding can't seem to grasp the concept except using a simplistic analogy that doesn't fit. No, it is not equating a country with a house.
I don't think they're necessarily the same thing, and I do think scale factor plays into this. (I wouldn't give a damn about having to give up a small amount of my property on someone else's demand, but a larger part I might think differently about).
Again, perhaps a little more education on the topic might do you good.
Scale doesn't matter. I suspect you don’t have much to give to be taken.... rights of property are important guarantees. One of the most important property is citizenship.
Now, if you were to cite a corporation you might be onto something here, but I wouldn't give corporations unlimited rights to deny service or employment to people.
WTF is this coming from????? Gotta love TiNe jumping all over the place, ignoring substance and just jumping to the new area.
Corporations should have no rights. It is a disastrous interpretation to give them rights. Corporations exist with only the privileges granted them by the state. But that is far afield from the topic at hand.
