wnership is perpetual possession, or possession beyond one's immediate need for an item.


Why do you keep repeating this silly refrain?
What if I lose a possession tomorrow, did I not own it today?

I'm sorry, but I just can't help myself.

This evil "person" shamed anyone that dared look into the Muslim rape gangs. One of this demon's reasons was that "this all took place over 12 years ago".

The Law by Bastiat was written in 1850. If we adhere to ONE this demon's standards of discussing her radical islam ilk's depravity, then no one should be replying to this topic.

Time is a social construct- 4cubbies, probably



I get you though, and agree!

I imagine his concept involved more analysis on his ability to stop others from taking them from him, and his ability to take things from others. I doubt it involved anything close to what we'd describe as a conceptualization of "rights" involved in the stuff.


The attachment and appreciation which is part and parcel of ownership precedes any fear of potential loss.

Ownership, and traits conceptualizing ownership, are present in more evolved species.


Like which ones? Elephants? Dolphins?

I'm curious about this.

The practice of ownership requires two things: (1) evolved intelligence and (2) stationary existence. We see this in even more evolved primates. To suggest that ownership and possession are simply social constructs is incorrect.


I don't claim possession is a social construct.

Are you implying that ownership and possession are the same thing?

Maybe you never seen an animal protect a kill from being stolen by other animals?

A social construct is any category or thing that is made real by convention or collective agreement


So force is not a factor?

Is Eastern Ukraine under Russian control?

I would suggest that they say so, but Ukraine does not.

Are Ukraine’s thoughts on the matter, at this point, relevant?

I mean, is Russia going to give that territory back as a means of being civil?

I don’t see it.

That is why I asked the question concerning the terminology.

No stating that your inability to posses an item for whatever reason does not invalidate ownership. Now please answer the question?

I’ve noticed you keep repeating slogans but have not offered any proof of your own.

Care to prove that ownership is a social construct or are you just repeating communist jingles until they become fact.

Christianity is based on a personal relationship with God. Prayer is conversation with God. You can't experience a prayer for anyone else. It's personal.


Isn’t God the subject of the “Our Father” prayer.

I’m praying to God, as are other parishioners.

Who are you praying to? Allah?

What did Bastiat say about two of the most fundamental rights not enumerated in the constitution: universal health care and pre-K daycare

Society learned pretty early if you combined the threat/power of the state with threat/power of religion is was much more effective in ruling over people.

While this is true, religion existed separately from power. Religion began with the first humans wondering about their origins, purpose and final resting circumstances.

She also said the Constitution is outdated and needs to be modernized, yet she's citing an essay from 1850 for her pseudo-intellectual debate.

Just more hypocrisy from her
