Question

i think some of you people need to relearn the definition of property.

Answer 1

because not all humans own property

Answer 2

It is a human right. Jefferson made that clear when he inserted "pursuit of happiness" into the declaration of independence, and when he wrote the Fifth Amendment to include life, liberty and property as protected interests.

Jahpson: the Bill of Rights protects our basic human rights as Americans. Those rights include our property.

Answer 3

Yeah! Not all humans own property. In fact, at one time, some humans were property.

Answer 4

Do you mean property?
There is the law where if you own property and some big corporation wants it, they can come along and make you sell your property to them and the law is on their side.
I think that stinks!

Answer 5

Because the property was there before you were. By claiming exclusive use of it, you are denying somebody else use of it.

The right to screw people isn't something people are in a hurry to endorse.

cybersharque- good answer, but how does that relate to the question?

Answer 7

In the US our rights are outlined in the Constitution. We have the right to own property, if we pay for it.

Answer 8

Property isn't nearly as important as food, personal safety, or dignity. That is to say, you won't die or be disgraced without property.

Answer 9

nations have a right to their resources.... but they are not protected when the US wants to steal their oil, food or even their governments....
