Re: Argh property rights debate
This thread officially have some of the dumbest replies I have ever read. There is no arguments in the quotes of the OP that makes it a contradiction to say 'this is my wallet so give it to me or I'll hurt you'
The entire points of the many of the arguments in the OP is that when two people is fighting over the same wallet, natural rights is shown to be useless, it IS the cultural construct of the property rights that matter.
And that all property is at one time unowned and then claimed by humans makes the legitimacy of property claims ultimate recide on opinion, not 'natural rights'.
You might disagree with some of the conclusions and hold differing political views. But that's another case. The 'your wallet is my wallet' argument is completely of base by a mile.
