You surely do not understand the concept. Rights are not absolute just because they are considered natural. You do not have an absolute right to be free or to pursue happiness. Your rights to these things are circumscribed by the self same rights that others have. It is inherent in the concept that if two or more people have a right to freedom then they also must respect limitations on those freedoms. You are not free to punch someone in the nose because freedom only exists as inalieanable to the point where it conflicts with the freedom of an other. It is NOT absolute. This is not rocket science. You are trying very hard to be oh so confused.

Good luck at trying so hard to understand that natural rights exist for everyone and therefore are limited by nature and logic! You might get it if you try really hard!
