Thats always been my argument against the "Life vs stuff" thing.
I paid for my stuff with money I earned working at a job I wouldn't be working at if I didn't need money to buy stuff. Every second I spend at that job represents a second I will never get back, in essence I wasted my life to get money. When a criminal comes along to take my things, they are taking the time I spent in that job earning the money to buy those things. So, do I value my things more than the life of a criminal whom I've likely never met or seen before? YOU'RE GODDAMNED RIGHT.
