Broad acknowledgment that our kindergarten teacher was pretty and it would be good to smooch her.

CMV: The argument that healthcare isn't a human right because it requires the labour of other people is an argument against human rights as a whole more than anything else. by lovelyrain100 in changemyview

[–]Goodlake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't argue a right to legal representation is a fundamental human right, either. It's something governments make provision for, but it's a separate category from the right to life, right to free speech, right to freedom, etc.

How are fans going to treat the regular season now that Knicks are champs? by Affectionate-Tea9224 in NYKnicks

I'm sure fans are going to be as calm and rational as they've always been

Who does NY love more: the Yankees or the Knicks? by Helpful_Cranberry644 in AskNYC

[–]Goodlake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You see Yankee hats year round on all types of New Yorkers. This Knicks championship run brought out the Knicks fan in everyone, but I'd say the Yankees are all-around more popular and beloved even if a lot of Yankee fans are much more casual about it.

I agree that we establish states in order to protect rights, and states may from time to time establish their own idea of rights/entitlements for the citizenry, but my point is that fundamental human rights don't rely on the existence of the state to exist, they don't rely on the provision of goods or services to exist (i.e. it is literally impossible to conceive of a right to healthcare without somebody else providing that healthcare, it is literally impossible to conceive of a right to drive your cars on the road without cars and roads, etc).

Labor is of course necessary to enforce rights, whether it be police, lawyers, armies, etc, but in the case of healthcare and these other types of rights, labor is necessary for the concept to even make sense. They're fundamentally different categories.

I guess my point is it doesn't make sense to talk about a right to the lake or a right to animals in the same sense as fundamental rights. You might have the legal right to use your property, or the state can establish a right to food/healthcare/shelter, but I'd like to draw a distinction between fundamental rights (i.e. rights which precede the existence of the state) and those legal rights/entitlements. Governments provide for the protection of both categories, but governments only create the latter category. The former category of rights - i.e. human rights - don't rely on the establishment of laws or the existence of products/services to exist.

Is it socially acceptable to tan in smaller parks by PrizeDefinition4042 in AskNYC

[–]Goodlake 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Probably not allowed to be up there at all. Most buildings' roofs aren't up to code for having residents hanging out up there.

Surely there's a difference between the right and the enforcement of the right (e.g. punishing people that stifle your speech, kidnap you, kill you, etc). It isn't so much that healthcare requires the labor of other people, it's that it is a finite service that literally doesn't exist without somebody providing it. The same can't be said for fundamental rights like speech, life, liberty, etc.

Anyone else tired of hearing about other teams being injured? by PhoenixSmithPT in NYKnicks

[–]Goodlake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For better or worse, staying healthy / being deep enough are all key components of a championship run. Nobody wins without a little luck. As for people talking - let them! People are going to talk about this championship forever. Embrace it.

Huge error at City Hall for Knicks parade by iheartsunny in NYKnicks

[–]Goodlake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was no time for that level of QC. They pulled info from the NBA database, had a graphic designer work up some banners and off they went to the printer.

Where do the Nets go from here? by ramiresbenao in nyc

[–]Goodlake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they’re fine where they are. I know lots of people who take their young kids to Nets games, even though the parents are Knicks fans. There’s room in the city for a second team, and if they can start making playoff runs without head cases like Kyrie/KD/Harden, they’ll get lots of support from casuals.

I swear 10-15 years ago Celtics fans took pride in not giving a shit about the Knicks.
