  • It’s not about making big money. These small time landlords still drive up the cost of rents by going with “market rates” and increasing rents over time. They are just “small time greedy”.

    Not nearly as evil as large scale landlords obviously, but rare to nonexistent is a landlord who won’t continually raise rent when they don’t need to.

    EDIT: LOL you idiots can downvote me all you want it doesn’t mean I’m wrong, because I’m not.

    I’ve rented from mostly small time landlords, more importantly I’ve worked with, and currently work with people who buy and own extra rentals as side businesses to rent out. They brag about having tenants pay their mortgage, and I hear their experiences of raising rents to get more money (their mortgage hasn’t changed, they just want more). They both laugh and complain when tenants need things fixed, they delay and try to figure out how to go cheap or “how can I legally place the responsibility on the tenants”.

    Decent landlords are a small minority. Most who do this are leaches. Fuck landlords.








  • Eh, I don’t think this is the best solution.

    The assumption is as soon as you turn 17 you’re smart enough and have the critical thinking skills to navigate social media without it negatively affecting you? Kinda dumb.

    There could be an argument that at least try to block it while young peoples brains are still developing, maybe there’s benefit in that.

    Older people than 16 are still duped by propaganda, and become addicted to social media, and all the negative consequences.

    What we need is regulation imo. Good, smart, progressive, altruistic regulation that is for the benefit of all. Ain’t gonna happen though, because sOcIaLiSm and “mUh FrEeDoMs”.



  • Exactly. The “love thy enemy” nonsense always got me too:

    Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you

    • Mathew 5:44

    Think about slavery in history. Christianity was forced upon slaves in US history. Think about current era people working horrible conditions, factories, sweatshops, whatever. What a CONVENIENT verse for the slave owners.

    Just be good, do what you’re told, don’t fight back, and love your enemy (exploiter/persecuter). If you do, promise of heaven like you said.

    But if you disobey (commit murder, dare I say of the person exploiting you), infinite and eternal torture and suffering in hell.

    Also don’t commit suicide, that’s a sin too so straight to hell if you do.

    Its just so fucking obvious.
