"Rights" only exist through the will of an omnipotent force, which is an undefined concept. I think it's better to respond to ill-defined arguments with simply that: "interpretation error, argument 'right' is ill-defined."
Yes, I was 14 once, too.
Moral nihilism is obvious and not helpful. Everyone knows that our moral language is just a manner of speaking. We nevertheless engage with moral concepts because we reject moral nihilism at least from a pragmatic point of view. Pointing out that things like rights, justice, etc., have no real existence is not clever.
