  • I see a difference between your examples. 1. A property is something which the society gives in your unique disposition. By this it inhibits other people any access to this something - it puts by its own moral authority the label "wrong action" on any such an attempt, theft including. Thus a definition of a property precludes an universialisation of theft. 2. If lying would be permitted, it does not mean that the truth disappears - one can say a truth, anyway.

  • 1. Drugs - if everyone were allowed to take drugs, then everyone would be high all the time so one can't 'take drugs' so to speak? << Non-Sequitur. Just because one is "Allowed", it does not follow that someone will.
