RE: Slovenia Successfully Declares Drinking Water A Constitutional Human Right

in #news7 years ago

The fact that we as a species decided to make people pay for water is the reason we won't make it another 100 years. I guess this is a step in the right direction, but I feel like it needs to be a glabal effort not a small handful of countries. In America people don't even drink enough water and in other places people are dying of thirst. This word is crazy!

Sort:  

So if I build my house in unpopulated areas of the Julian Alps, does the government build the infrastructure to get the water out to my house? Surely they don't expect me to pay to get potable water to my own house when drinking water is a Constitutional Human Right.
Who is bringing the Venezuelans water during their crisis? Are they not Humans? It's their Right!

I'm not following... But that your issue to get the water... I just think it should be free.

Ok, So if I choose to live out in the boonies, you agree that it's my responsibility to get my own water. But should I force voyceatlas to pay for it? It was my decision to live out there, not yours.
Therefore, water can't be a Human Right. I can't scream from my mountaintop home for someone to provide it for me.
It can't be free. Someone has to pay. And I don't think stealing from everyone else in order to provide it to me is fair. It cannot be a Human Right.

Did you read what I said? I'm not trying to be an asshole on steemit... I'm changing my lifestyle... But brah...

Not being an asshole either. You said 'I just think it should be free'. I'm trying to figure Who will pay for it

So animals pay for water?

According to Nestlé Chef Peter Brabeck, water is not a human right. Google it.

Word. You are right about that. And they get it free which makes it worse. Fuck them Excuse my Polish.
