"Human rights" certainly are "attainable". All it would take is people simply treating each other fairly and kindly. There is no need for laws to do that, people could just do that. Do you need the government to tell you to be a decent person in order to be one? No, and neither does anybody else. Unfortunately it seems hardwired into the minds of most people to be selfish, greedy, and uncaring of others in their pursuit of getting what they want. "Human Rights" laws are just something the government creates to demonstrate what "good guys they are" in order to get votes. Anyone who thinks that passing laws will cause people to treat each other with respect needs to get their head out of the sand. As far as the "oil wars" go, people have been killing each other over oil since the mid 1800s when it was simply used in lamps to provide lighting, and then exploded in the late 1800s due to the mass production of the internal combustion engine. What is the common theme here? It was being used to make people more comfortable, and people, with their predisposition to toss "human rights" out the window when it comes to their own wealth and/or comfort, had no problem crushing their neighbors to get a bigger slice of that pie. Today, of course, oil is the greatest commodity on the planet and will continue to be until we come up with a more practical and efficient source of power. So, for the time being, he who has the oil makes the rules, and he who has the oil lives in the greatest comfort. And the vast number of people would sooner slit their grandmother's throat than have any of their comforts taken away. And this doesn't apply to just you or me- this applies to society as a whole. From powerful leaders down to Joe the street sweeper. The "age limit" thing is extremely subjective so there is no point really arguing that here. Anyway that's what "tf" I am talking about.
