I am sorry for the language I am going to expres but this woman aggravates me to no end.

What the fuck is this?
How is this possible?
This woman is so god damn fucking stupid that she wants to fee people for using the sun? The fucking same sun we all need to live?
What is going to do if we don't pay? shut it off?
I have an idea lets sue her for all the skin cancer and general discomfort that "her" sun couses us. Let's sue her for global warming as well since the sun is at least partially responsible.

This is arrogance people in it's highest form. To try to own something like a fucking star that everyone needs to live.

I think we're all mad because she thought of this before we did.

 

[Manicotti]

Yeah, this. There's nothing here worth getting mad about because it will never be enforced by anyone who matters.

 

[CrystalShadow]

Hehe. I thought this was fun until she started talking about charging people for using it.

Then I thought she's either got a serious dose of sarcasm going, or she's just plain nuts.

You know, I'd claim all the nearby solar systems as my property, just to screw with future space exploration, if I didn't know I probably won't live long enough for it to have any real significance.

There is already a thread like this...

Either way, I think she's brilliant and retarded. For one, owning the sun is genius and wanting to help people is nice. However, her idea is retarded.

Sorry for the uneccesary thread then. =)
However what angers me about her actions is that she thinks that she has any way of enforcing her claims at all.

 

[Skorpyo]

She can't do that!

I had dibs!

 

[KafkaOffTheBeach]

'S all good.
She gave me prime solar real estate for my 18th birthday, could turn into something lucrative.

 

[Tsaba]

Can we sue her for black people being black and thus creating racism? *points finger* "It's all your fault!" on a serious note, all we have to do is prove the involvement of the sun and skin color and she's fucked.

 

[Guy32]

brb, I just need to claim ownership of all of mars before we colonize it.

 

[Merkavar]

no one should be able to own the moon or sun. and even if they could own them i no one should be able to charge for use of the moon or sun

 

[enzilewulf]

Fair game. I call dibs on the next planet we find!!

 

[SimuLord]

I still think she should be sued under Consumer Product Safety Commission regulations in the US and similar consumer-protection laws in Europe every time someone gets a severe sunburn or skin cancer.

 

[Geekmaster]

I suppose it'll be great smalltalk at parties but no, you can't really own the sun.
If she starts trying to profit from it, she is indeed begging for skin cancer lawsuits.

 

[Merkavar]

i call dibs on pluto. and im reclassifying it as a planet. take that astrological body that reclassifyied it to begin with.

 

[TheSEPH88]

Ok then I call dibs on Tellus as an entirety and I sue everyone for property damage.

Yeah, this. There's nothing here worth getting mad about because it will never be enforced by anyone who matters.

This is a case of troll science coming true:

Want to own the sun?

Step 1: Register to own the sun.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: PROFIT
Step 4: U mad, Vitamin D dependent lifeforms?

 

[Lizmichi]

As I said before, this women is crazy but hell if it gives her a feeling of worth umm... ok.

 

[doomboy29]

Duran, who lives in the town of Salvaterra do Mino, said she now wants to slap a fee on everyone who uses the sun and give half of the proceeds to the Spanish government and 20 percent to the nation's pension fund.

WHAT. THE. FUCK.
