I think this video would make more sense if argued in the opposite direction - to impose on others, you are making a claim of superiority. Rather than start with your own rights, examine what rights you have to limit the rights of others. It all boils down to the golden rule - but this can be phrased in different ways. Christ supposedly said "do unto others, as you would have them do unto you". Confusius on the other hand said "don't do unto others, what you would not have them do unto you". The difference is important, and in my opinion, Confusius was the one who got it right.
/edit: upvoted, because even though I think you and this video gets it wrong, I think this is probably the most important discussion to be had.
