People owned? No. Pwned? Yes 
And love isn't an illusion, the hormones inducing the good feelings around certain persons are quite real. Oxytocin and endorphin FTW!
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

People can be owned quite easily. Its just a bit of a dick move really. Kay is right about the love side. Those are some powerful chemicals.

Everyone can be bought at a price (which is why I'll never own anyone, I don't have the funds  )

Precisely. And, like any mental chemical, they could change at any moment, and both you and your significant other could utterly despise each other.
Love is not an illusion in that it doesn't exist. The security that comes with love, the mutual caring-- the things which make love meaningful--are illusory because they're determined entirely by random variables beyond human control which have no loyalty to anyone.
In effect, the momentary feeling is real, but the popular concept is worthless.

Are you trying to imply that you purchased your lover?
This conversation might become interesting, yet.
What falls away is always, and is near.
Also, I am not pretending to be female, this profile picture is my wonderful girlfriend. XD

Good thing then that we're in the relationship for companionship and not passion. Besides, playing Borderlands 2 with your significant others makes sure that you get your cocktail of love-inducing hormones.

Nope, but I could buy one. I don't intend to but I could. With the right amount of money or violence I could own a lot of people.

I said nothing about passion. To the contrary, I was speaking specifically about companionship. Your denial is noted.

I think I'll use that candy store gift card for 1 pound of candy I got last Christmas today. Walk out the store yelling "all mine fuckers!"

No, I didn't. Or at least I hope he is with me because he can and want to, not because of my money.
Addendum: I asked him if he's with me because of my funds. He laughed a lot and said no

Meh, if it breaks, it does. For now I'm enjoying the ride and not worrying about a future that might happen.

I somehow missed the option for "masturbating my little cunnie the fuck off and getting wasted on tequila."
ps. Nice quote, Vera.
pps. Kayenneh, have you checked his head for brain slugs?
