If someone said this to you, how would you respond?

Question

the earth is the common property of the human race and everything living.

Answer 1

in theory, i would say this is true, in practice, i would say it isnt true, those with power claim parts of the earth for their own, and either dont allow others access, or else they set the terms of the access

Answer 2

The earth is not a property of anyone or anything. It just is the way it is, a mixture of materials moving through space. Of course, many people interpret a lot into it, giving it a reason for its existence, claiming properties, and what not. I let them do it until I find a way to enlighten them.

Answer 3

What is the alternative?

Property is a political concept and can only be upheld by protecting individual rights. Rights pertain only to those who understand them and comply with the concomitant; the pledge to refrain from violating the rights of others.

To obliterate (property) rights is to deliver the entire globe into the hands of the mystics. It does not matter which 'brand' you surrender to, sacrifice to society, to god or to the environment, the result is the same; best illustrated by the dark ages...

Answer 4

Don't forget that inanimate objects such as mountains, oceans and the ice caps are also worthy of respect and could be said to own the Earth as well.

Answer 5

I would say its true, its just goverments that try to claim it for themselves. It belongs to earth as much as it does to the palnts ans animals, and other creatures we have little to know knowledge of.

Answer 6

I would respond that everything as it is now will not always be. All of us are merely temporary entities of a brief moment in time. It is actually we who belong to it.

Answer 7

But we have dived it even you see loins they also make there boundaries.that's why we have part of land which we call our property.

Answer 8

Put down the bong.

Answer 9

True. Humans just overstay their welcome, and nobody enforces the equality.

Answer 10
