Trespassers...

I must disagree with your position. IMO, "the illusion of private property" teaches you respect for one another. It's saying "hey, this doesn't belong to me so I shouldn't mess with it". It's called consideration. It was so offensive to me because he showed total disrespect towards me. It's 100% private property and he got caught trespassing and chose to display the retarded hardcore Dr. Dre attitude in retaliation, rather than be civil about it.


My roommate sometimes uses my mouthwash or shaving cream or toilet paper, and we each have our own too. And you what?? I YELL AT HIM!! I don't pay money to wipe his arse, clean his teeth, and shave his facial hair. Ok, I worked for that money to purchase those. The difference is.....if he asked and said, "hey I'm out of shaving cream...can I use a little of yours?" I'd say "yea man no problem". You ask for something. I won't deny you, but you need to play by the rules.

I get your point behind the spiritual and negative concepts of private property.....I DO! But this is not a license to just take whatever you want or do whatever you want. You must also understand that we live in 3D.....you are a human now until the day you pass. Do you think just because I assume the majority of us probably don't like money or capitalism....means we can just stop working and not pay any bills because we don't agree with it? Lol the world doesn't work like that...not yet. If you want to go live on the street, be my guest. Some people choose to live that way, but please don't expect me to give you any money because you chose to be homeless due to your beliefs/distortions.

This whole thread totally reminds me of one of my old friends who I don't talk to anymore...and there is good reason for it. He was what you would call a "wigger". Smokes weed, listens to primarily rap music, smokes menthol cigarettes, lol. Ok....but none of that bothered me. I loved chilling with him at his house. But he was just becoming too inconsiderate towards me and others, like bumming rides from me all the time, etc. He knew I was soft and he would take advantage of that. I detected this however for awhile but me being too nice, kept letting him do it until I had enough. In short, I used wisdom and I never saw him or spoke to him again.

Lastly....being positive doesn't mean you just let people walk all over you.

I guess I just don't see the problem. Maybe it's because I smoke weed and listen to rap music, but I don't perceive disrespect just because someone is passing through on "private property". I mean, you don't even own this property, right? So what's the outrage for? Live and let live. If you hadn't been there in that moment, you wouldn't have even known he had passed through, so there would have been no "infraction" or disrespect to perceive.

Your "test" was that you WERE there in that moment, and you had many options. You could have asked him if he needed help, you could have smiled and waved, but instead, you had your hand on your pepper spray. Is that really how you wanted to be in the moment?

I also, personally, don't think it should be a problem to share toilet paper with your roommates, and that they shouldn't have to come crawling like "hey man, I'm out of TP, can I wipe my ass?" to use what is essentially 2 cents worth of recycled tree pulp. But that's just my own personal two cents worth of recycled tree pulp.
