@Kelvin_silva: "Or in such a case, the watch should be destroyed. Actually this is not that bad of an idea at all, both parties are left unhappy, so therefore they cant attack each other.
It solves the conflict."
Lol what? I’m not even sure what this accomplishes, there’s no reason to destroy the object in question. Both parties are more apt to attack one another if they’re unhappy anyways. Is this a parody of the Judgment of Solomon or something?
There’s nothing wrong with voting with your dollar, but when your dollar can violate other’s property rights, there’s something troubling about the system that you’re participating in. But that’s just me.
I’m also curious about your political affiliation and why you have so many posts yet don’t ascribe to libertarianism.
Meh, labels. I’m a right wing statist I suppose.
I’ve been coming here a long time. I’ve accumulated these posts over several years.
I participate on forums where the people tend to think more like me but frankly I find it just as interesting to observe and talk to people who I often disagree with.

Right wing meaning what…favoring free markets? Because “right wing” tends to also mean hawkish/interventionist in terms of foreign policy, and socially authoritarian.

Private property is a social construct. What is and what isnt property is up to the people to decide. It is whatever people find reasonable with edge cases investigated under court. In principle it wouldnt be any different under ancap system than it is today.
This is the right answer. Ancaps, there is no One True Law out there for you to find that will act just like the State and let you know what is right and what isn’t. Only the ever-changing values of free people in voluntary action can reveal that.
+1, I think this is what I’ve been trying to say.
Make the ‘expensive watch’ from your example into a ‘family album’ and you will see it is the case. And if it is true for one it is true for another.
All you must do is prove that you are actually looking for it. If someone finds your shit and keeps it even though you are looking they have successfully stolen from you.
True, I’m just pointing out an obvious flaw with a statute of limitations.
