Is it wrong for Landlords to discriminate

[Bikini Mod]

I love how you said this.

Should I have said it differently?

That has nothing to do with what I said. You seem to get upset a lot at harmless things like jokes and stuff. Racists jokes can be funny. So can jokes about beating up a woman. There's no such thing as an appropriate joke, which is why they're called jokes.

That's what I meant about not taking life so seriously. Not everything has to contain a message about the human condition or any of that horseshit.

Sorry, but I disagree. It has everything to do with what you said.

There is absolutely NOTHING FUNNY EVER about beating a woman or lynching a nigger. You do, however, have the right to tell these "jokes" just as much as I have the right to express my disgust.

Right?

well hve to agree to disagree.

Although I don't remember anyone even uttering a joke about lynching a blaque. Not sure where you came up with that.

Because IMHO "a joke" about beating a woman is about as funny as "a joke" about lynching a nigger. There are far more women being beaten to death TO THIS DAY ON A DAILY BASIS then there are "niggers being lynched." Right? So why THE HELL is a joke about beating a woman anymore funny than the *antiquated* practise of hanging a person of color, specifically of African decent from a tree? I mean, there is a difference between a "nigger" and "a black person"... isn't there? Otherwise that boy wouldn't have been strung up in that tree to begin with.

Yes, I used the word NIGGER for a reason.

Interestingly enough, you again proved my point that WOMEN are the last group where society will still accept degrading/violent behavior directed towards them, tolerated by A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE *just because it is shrouded in what some call humor* while other groups are *somewhat protected* regardless.

You can't speak out of both sides of your mouth. You've made it abundantly clear (as is your right) that you find jokes about beating women to be funny.

Either "nigger jokes" are funny or they aren't. Which is it? What about "wetback and spic jokes"? Or what about the jokes over incinerating "kikes"? Are you aware of THE FACT that there are still people living today that remember seeing signs posted on public beaches stating, "No Dogs, No Niggers, No Jews". I have a hard time believing that anyone who saw these things would find ANY joke about "blaques or jews" to be remotely entertaining as I personally know many of these older adults.

Or are there certain groups that are *less* or *more* fun to make fun of?

And yes, I am fully aware that there are certain jokes that are funny in certain situations. But I can't think of ONE SITUATION where it is either appropriate or funny to make fun of a woman being beaten or degraded, yet so many still seem to think that it's ok.

Why do YOU THINK that is. Please help me to understand. Maybe I am missing something.

It's easy: just make a credit investigation and ask for proof of employment. Doesnt matter if the person is green, black or purple. If he/she fails at these, dont rent.

I'd discriminate on whether or not the potential renter curled in squat racks or not

 

[iggy]

no it's not wrong. my dad is a landlord and the landlord should have the choices to decide who lives in their place. they don't want anyone fucking it up.

but if he curls 225 for reps in squat rack--let rent

So far it seems that those who have been landlords/self-employed or who have been very closely related to them have opinions that differ regarding what "the law" deems right/wrong.

... but would you hire him to work for you?
