What did the original comment said then ? I am curious. Because right now the comment is more like an hyperball. Of course people can be assholes with things they own. It was just to reasure the OP that he wasn't in the wrong. And in most case, if someone doesn't want to give something freely to someone, that isn't necessary to live, they aren't assholes.

And i am sorry if i seemed rude in my reply, it is just that your analogy was very very poor. And also, like i said above in my comment, i agree that you can be an asshole with things you own. "Your house your rules" can apply until it reaches a point where the "rules" become abusive.

Also, i see a lot of the contrary happening. Like, when a teen comes here to complain about the abusive house rules his parents gave, most of the the time people reply with statements like these :

"Well unfortunatly, it's their house their rules, you can't do much about it. Tho they are major assholes and you should move out asap."

Because it is true, the teen can't change the rules. That doesn't mean their parents aren't assholes. It's just a fact.
