People who believe in equal rights for everyone are recognising the humanity and "peopleness" of everyone. People who think that certain groups of people are entitled to fewer rights than others (like you, Teribus) do not see the groups they discriminate against as people.

I do not believe in equal rights for everyone. Should the criminal have the same rights as the homeowner they've distubed at 3 am? Should the six year old child have the same right to vote as her parents?

Sweeping statements like that, covering everything, without qualification, are generally very easy to dispute. Engage brain before typing, and insert a qualifier or two. A 'virtually all' or ' normally' such like should be all you need to prevent people like me going out to the exteme ends of your staments, and kicking holes in them.
