Living The Dream: What Do You Own – Really?

Ah yes, this article.  Good time to reread it.  

The only things you really own are the things you stole.

Theft is property.

The only think you really own is what's in your head (until they make mind readers), and your mistakes.

The first because nobody can get at them (yet), and the second because nobody else will take them.

Some rocker chick.

Did you really just quote the worst screechy hippie of all time in what appears to be all seriousness?

More to the point, did you really just do that on the same day you made some snarky comment about being able to come to your own conclusions rather than being trained to think what you think?

Note to the hipster kids: this is what irony ACTUALLY looks like.

I have always been a fan of Janis.

The other comment was in no way intended to be snarky.

A big part of the problem, I think, is when the stuff we think we own actually owns us. For instance, if you have to work three jobs to make a house payment, who owns who?

[Placid Dingo]

The only thing i own is noobs.

You assume much.

Or you should be tried for the aggravated assault of Mr. The Funny.

 I got nothing. Seriously, I've been pondering it for awhile, and at this point, I feel like I don't own a damn thing. Not even myself. My time, my thoughts, my body. All bought and sold at a whim no longer mine...

Do you ever say anything interesting and/or funny? Srs question is srs.

I own my time and can sell it to an employer as to allow me to pay for other things i need and/or want.

I own my car, though with the cost of gas and insurance it's probably going to cost me more than taking care of the house.

Wasn't talking to YOU, PD. I know you are never interesting or funny, you upside down bastard.

Do you really? Hmm. I don't. My time, though willingly given, belongs to the university, the employer, the significant others, the people who ask me for help and countless others. Glad you can say you own your own time.

[Placid Dingo]

I guess in a lot of ways in the discussion we're having here it's worth rememberig that ownership is not physical or objective. I feel like I own more than many of you. I own my time; I rent t to the government for money and favors. I own my house (it's rented) so far as it represents my needs and I have possenrion of it by being in it. I own my thoughts; even if they're derivative of other things, a person with only sprout al thought is, you know, detached from reality, and I tend to know who I want to let in or not.

To own something, you decide to feel as though you own it.
Of course, this is not the case in the legal sense of the OP.

There was no attempt to be funny. As far as anything interesting, I don't know. Which of my comments was the one that irritated you?

I'm with Thoreau on this one:

"I am monarch of all I survey,
My right there is none to dispute"
