Quote:
Article 25.
(1) Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.

This is the worst one. If food, clothing, housing etc magically appeared out in the desert, it could reasonably be asserted that everyone has a right to their share. But that's not what happens - all these things are the result of the productive efforts of
people. Saying you have a
>>right<< to the fruits of other people's labor is socialist slavery. Our society, imbued with judaeo-christian ethics, has frequently decided to help the poor with private and government charity, but the notion that anyone has a claim on the work of others by
right is manifestly false.
