      You have your life and current health. What if someone wanted to take that from you? Trust me you have things.

        My health is something I buy on the black market. My life is something cops would I’m sure very much like to take.

        How are either comparable to real estate? Are there a bunch of little holes in the nearest dirt to you the size of your dick, or is life just worth basically nothing to you?

          I had to switch the object to keep with the sentiment of the argument aka someone wants to take something from someone else they don’t want taken. The argument isn’t that a life is equivalent to land. Group X wants to take from group Y something they don’t want taken.

          How does someone buy their health illegally? That’s something I haven’t heard before.

              Why do you keep adding things I’ve never said. It’s a really interesting behavior. It’s a bit like talking to an overly aggressive hallucinating AI.

                You didn’t say explicitly but strongly implied. I understand what you’re trying to say, I’ve thought about it more than you, and I’m not a raging bigot, so I’m rejecting the idea you’re having trouble articulating because you can’t make it sound not-evil even in your straw man that in no way resembles the actual thing.

                Except that last part. That was me calling you a 14 year old who thinks Ayn rand was smart.

                  I mean I explicitly and strongly disagree with that synopsis for whatever it’s worth. In its most general sense it’s just an aspect of reality. A gazelle wanting to keep its life and a lion wanting to eat the gazelle. Group X wants something group Y doesn’t want to give. In a lot of circumstances it is evil but not all. Like conceptually this shouldn’t be a highly contested thing, it’s about as everyday as the sum rising and setting.
