Squatting

[Tahuti]

Anyone with experiences in squatting property?

 

[JollyRoger]

Yeah, since about 1492

 

[Ryika]

No, but I thought this guide is pretty helpful when I watched it a while back:

 

[Narz]

I haven't sat on a toilet seat in over a decade

 

[warpus]

When I was first introduced to squatting toilets I thought "Oh no" but then I remembered "Oh yeah I'm a Slav, my people are supposed to be good at this". So I tried and it was easy. So I just believe in yourself and go for it

 

[Commodore]

For one to be a squatter, there has to be a rightful owner to the land being squatted on. Since the natives had no concept of land ownership prior to the European arrival, they cannot be considered rightful owners, thus, the Europeans cannot be considered squatters.

Not quite squatting but...

I am sure that the English would have respected Native ownership, laws, religion and civilization like they did everywhere else in the world. Oh WAIT !
Not to mention a certain war and annexation with Mexico

Did those other civilizations have a flag?

 

[Valka D'Ur]

Did those other civilizations have a flag?

You think a civilization needs a flag to have laws and customs and religion?

 

[JollyRoger]

God hates flags

 

[Commodore]

Calm down Valka, it's a joke. I was referencing an Eddie Izzard bit:

 

[FriendlyFire]

Did those other civilizations have a flag military ?

Fixed !

Surely after hundreds of years a squatter and his descendants turn into residents

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Liberate Great Briton from those accursed Anglo-Saxons!!!!! Squatters!!!!

 

[Commodore]

Yep. Squatter's rights.

I've been hiding in your attic for years.

I'm not sure that the position that indigenous nations "cannot be considered rightful owner", meaning they had no title, has ever really been legally tenable in the US. Congress wouldn't have been given the power to extinguish native title if native title never existed, Johnson vs M'Intosh wouldn't have held that the federal government had exclusive right to extinguish title, and treaties and purchases would never have been made, if the title never existed to begin with.

In Australia, we didn't have this terra nullius position overturned til a court case in 1993, but native title is part of our legal system now too. Likewise is native title recognised in Canada and New Zealand (I'm completely unfamiliar with Latin American practice).

Back to the original question of the OP

So far nobody here on the forum that squatted a house ?
Like I did long time ago, when law in the Netherlands, giving enough practical room, was not yet changed by the neoliberals

Nobody that squatted a piece of land, and build a house on it ?

Well, in Europe, squatting abandoned houses is far more common, though increasingly rare. Squatting has recently been made illegal in the Netherlands as Hrothbern noted, though squatbreakers may potentially still punishable by Dutch criminal law for home invasion (huisvredebreuk).

I don't have an attic, and if I did, I would have found you by now.
