right's and privileges

 What would you say is a right and what you would say is a privilege?

You have a right to free speech in your own domain.

You have the privilege of posting here, without spamming.

*cough cough*

As for a right, you do have the right to remain silent.

"You have a right to free speech in your own domain.

For me: the right to bare firearms.
privilege: someone paying your college tuition.

There is no such thing as a universal right, only rights we give people. In a sense, rights are a kind of privilege, granted by nation-states or international bodies. In order for it to exist, it must be both enforceable and enforced. Examples of internationally agreed upon rights are the Right To Life and the Right To Free Expression.

He's right though."

Right: to be respected.
Privilege: to actually earn that respect

"Right: To bare arms.
Privilige: To have bear arms."

But doesnt a bear have a right to have arms? That's a horrible anti-bear double standard.
