Thread: If You Were President..

You are a dumb troll and 100% predictable. You're about as predictable as a woman. Congratulations.

What you originally said implied that the whole basis of developed nations is their protection of property rights. I'm arguing that it's not the basis, but part of one of the many things that play into the complex development of a developed nation.

I'm trying to point out, that you're retarded and rely on over-simplification to try and ram your points down people's throats.

Protection of property rights may not be the only factor necessary for advancement in economy, but it is certainly a factor that has never been ignored whilst an economy advanced. Throughout history, protections on property rights have increased as economies have grown in scale and complexity. I have challenged you to find a counter-example and you've trolled your way out of it.

You're a psychology major, right? Where do you think protection of property rights falls on Maslow's hierarchy? Squarely on the bottom. Before you can conduct any type of business interaction, you have to know that what is yours is yours, that your life and livelihood are secure.

I'll look for a counter-example. My main point was for you to realize that property rights don't determine the advancement of a nation by themselves. I was going to post the dominant sociological theories of what factors play into it's development but I have to dig out my textbook from last year.

And at the risk of looking like I'm dodging your question (which I'm not), Maslow's theory of hierarchy has actually been refuted in more recent research.
