not in this country, firstly my rights (such as they are) can only be added to, none cab be removed due to circumstance,Butters wrote:The point was if I own a business, and you come in there, and I don't like how you look, I can kick you out and there's nothing you can do about it.

Your rights only extend to public areas. The whole point of freedom of speech is to be able to criticize the government in public without fear of being executed. Weak constitution, pff, we invented the whole idea of a written constitution!
you (as proprietor) can add to them but you cannot take any away.
you can refuse entry on various grounds as laid down by law but you are not lord of all you survey, neither can you 'kick' someone out without due cause, to do so (involving physical contact) would make you (or the persons acting on your behest) guilty of assault.
you could phone the police if you wanted to but they might not be too happy as there is basically no trespass (as you understand it) under Scots law and you could only have me charged (under the nearest equivalent) if i was doing damage...
no trespass law (as you understand it) exists because all land 'ownership' is derived from the illegal sale (and subsequent re-sale) of land 'held in trust' by the clan chiefs on behalf of the people resident on it. in short all the land belongs to all the people. 'sale' of land here is about the transfer of trust.
don't transpose your own system onto others then poke them for living somewhere else.
you may have the oldest constitution still in use, but it is based on many historical documents which predate it, most of which i know your taught about in school (like Magna Carta, which btw you have a national monument to because of this reason).
the great experiment has only run 200 years, come back after 10,000 and you pfff at me all you wish.
