Surely the burden of proof is equally on you to prove they have been invented, as it's on Chan to prove they're natural.

Not the way he phrased it.

Don't give me that crap! You make the assertion that rights do not exist outside our minds, you have the burden of proof that they don't exist outside our minds.
Let's use an analogy here: if a tree falls in a forest and there's no one there to hear it does it still make a sound? Your assertion is essentially that it doesn't and it's up to you to prove that it doesn't.

No, the burden of proof is on the person who says that something
is. Cut the ****. "Sound" is a concept that is made up by people to describe kinetic energy causing air particles to vibrate. Our ears take in these vibrations and our brains help tell us what the sound is. So the whole question of whether or not a tree makes a sound if no one can hear it is moot. Yes, it does cause the air molecules to vibrate. Does that mean it makes a "sound"? Not necessarily.
Locke doesn't offer any evidence of his conclusions. All he says is that in nature everyone is totally free.
Yeah...because no one is telling them what to do. No **** they're totally free. Just because you have the ability to do something does not mean you have the right to do it.
