Default Re: Philosophy questions - Morality & Moral Theories

I'm not using force to make you believe anything. I'm using force to repel your initiation of aggression.

I'm just trying to get what is rightfully mine... You are the aggressor and thief.

Can you provide any justification for your "decree" theory of property rights? I'm eager to hear your logic. Maybe you're right, you really are the legitimate owner of the entire earth. I'm open to being convinced.

I don't think I have to convince you -- you are the one with the faulty belief. But, if you must know, God gave my ancestors the earth and everything in it, and it has been passed down through generations. I am the rightful heir to it now.

So, back to the question... how are we supposed to make laws when you have a faulty understanding of property rights?
