By the simple nature of being alive, you have rights. yes, you actually have rights that are inalienable and irrevocable. To view people in other areas of the world and equate their inability to have 'freedom of speech' as proof that rights are not real and that they are only 'granted' by the society or government that rules them is a collectivist viewpoint. These rights exist, whether a person can exercise them or not, and in the absence of the ability to exercise these rights only means that these rights are being denied them by that society or government.
