That's better, at least. You don't exactly have control over most things you own (like your computer).

is that like saying a rich jew doesn't own a yacht that he bought because he didn't built it himself? I own the computer. If someone steals it from me then they own it.

Really depends on your definition of ownership.

I own my wife for instance, but she can run away if I treat her badly.

ownership = you have it in your hands or in your possession

you own your wife? Not not if you can't control her. Owning a human means slavery.
