value is added by the market though
the real question is .... what claim would anybody else have on sea water that i have purified?
Nobody technically owns any water. What you're paying for is the ease with which you can get the water, due to plumbing, pumps, etc.
so if you took raw sea water, bottled it, and called it "authentic indian ocean water, not for drinking" and could sell it
that would be yours?
i believe that if you can produce your own water, like powering your home yourself. it is effectively yours
your body is something like 80% water
ownership is an agreement,
If i pulled a gun and just took what you have, you wouldn't own it anymore 😛
if you dont own that water, who does?
my body, my water
Yeah, but the water in your body gets cycled in and out as you consume more and then go to the bathroom
so if I grab a bottle of your water and drink it without paying for it, I don't owe you anything
It's not the same water in you from birth to death
because it's my water now
but we're not talking about the water in your body
that would be stealing.... if i purified shit water .... bottled it, and you stole it... ya that would be stealing..... ? lol
Poptarts brought it up
to avoid getting too theoretical, here's a good concrete example:

somebody else started asking about "privatizing" water .... AS IF ppl dont own their own bottles of water!! LOL
Yeah, but what you own is the bottle, not the water
You drink the water, you piss it out
Nestle bottling groundwater that it does not pay for and then selling it
lol says who?
thats not true at all
of course you own the water within the bottle
So you're saying that your body has retained *every single drop* of water you've ever consumed
the question is not "is it possible to own water"
no, i have never said that at all
Then how can you own water?
it is impossible to own water
looks... .the water in your fridge or my giant water bottles is PRIVATE
facts
nobody can lawfully take that from me ... its private property already
Ok so this isnt water but i talked to a guy who has placed solar panels on his home and his home has effectively become a power station, in exchange for providing power to his neighborhood he gets tax cuts and the major power company has to pay HIM for his provision of power or something like that, he didnt give me details.
i told you guys, Ownership is an agreement,
If someone disagrees, then you have to either claim it through sovereign right, or release ownership
the state is meant to protect your right to private property (police)
ive heard about that, Lago
so let's say you pour your water into a bowl and it evaporates. who do you sue?
its impossible to own a bowl
