The Core of Conflict

I have been developing a theory, if it has already been said here before I will then reiterate it. Basically it states that at the core of all conflicts hitherto, is disrespect for the property claims of another individual. Property, the case which I am using the term, includes one’s body (you are a self-directed agent). Many of these conflicts can be averted or if not, they could be presented to a court for a judge to decide.

If men did not have nipples it would not matter . Property is a device to enslave the population and destroy the rights of god fearing midgets with height issues . We should all give our stuff to the French and make them deal with it .

i agree, in a fashion - only if the meaning of property is taken to be one's body. however other conflicts may be caused by the desire for power.

Strongly disagree. In the future, there's going to be a war for either profit or power, or both. :)

people need to express themselves. Not all people are there to disrespect the other, but to make their idea known. People need to feel important, that they have done something in the world.
