Of course the semantics of English implies 'belonging to' however in this day and age it doesn't imply ownership in the way one would own say a car.Originally posted by Churchill View PostI'll ignore the childish insult but point you in the following direction...

There are no doubt some people who consider a wife in children in the same way though, the kind of controlling and emotionally insecure people who might think they have a right to damage their 'possessions'.
