So Burke basically had no valid thoughts?

Am I right or wrong?

Why do you knuckle draggers always insist on doing things the hard way?

Damn, Noelle beat me to it.

Do you want a self-psychoanalysis? That's how I can explain why I might be seen as a "strange" person.

To go on the obvious, this is a reassurance that Burke didn't have any good arguments. The reason for asking is because of the sake of information and knowledge.

Peter Burke?

If I were you I'd include a source to the Burke you're referring to in the OP.
I don't know enough about conservatism to really provide the stimulation I think you're looking for, or what Burke thought about it himself.
So I'll ask a question, what were his tenets?

Sorry, the title is wrong, but basically he never really expressed much conservatism, but rather how important it is to own private things, and liberalistic visions among other things.

The title was made in the sense that he was supposed to represent Conservatism, which I now find amusingly stupid of me. Rather naive actually.

Alright, I think I can say something on the concept of ownership. I don't think ownership exists. I can steal anything someone owns and call it mine. The shift of owners, even though they might have reasons why they "own" something, is ultimately nothing more than a justified claim. The act of claiming ownership, I think, is important to understanding humans. Claims can be falsified because the outcome of the claim may or may not be fulfilled. Yet we'll create these abstractions to ensure our survival and identity. I think that's fascinating.

Big test coming up, and I'm using every resource.
