    Let’s say they don’t recognize property claims. Why does that then make it right for you to take their eggs?

    Many say the native Americans didn’t understand the European concept of owning land (property claim). I’m not sure whether that’s true, but if it were would that then mean it was okay for Europeans to take their land?

    Your logic doesn’t make sense to me. “They can’t say ‘no’ and they probably don’t understand property so I’ll just go ahead and do what I want.” Lame

      i’m saying there is no reason it’s not ok to take the eggs, and recognition of property rights can’t possibly be a good reason not to do so. it’s possible there is some reason, but it can’t be that the chickens think the eggs belong to them, since there is no evidence for that claim.
