Hot take: people are more important than property, and anyone who thinks not paying for a basic human right is worth murdering over is a piece of shit who should be shunned from society.
Hotter take: Anyone should be allowed to set things they own on fire*. Being a landlord is thing here that should be outlawed.
*Property fires cannot contain other people or their possessions. Fire must not spread to other properties.
that's murder. you are advocating murder.
No one reads the fine print anymore. Or apparently past the first sentence
Are you saying that if you can't make money you deserve to be homeless?
I think they are trying to say "there is no such thing as a free lunch"
That doesn't warrant committing arson
Point out an obvious lack of basic English comprehension and suddenly I have 15 down votes and some low IQ trying to insinuate I'm condoning arson...
OH MY GOD WE'RE HAVING A FIRE!!!
...
sale.
No that doesn't warrant arson you psychopath
You are a sick. Seek help.
I work in hospice and see all kinds of family situations. I see elderly parents that have to move in with their children because of medical and end of life care expenses, children who have to make decisions that will impact their current and future financial stability to care for their parents, and parents who's children either can't or won't blow their futures to put the parents in a safe, clean facility.
While I don't wish any of those circumstances on you, I might imagine that should you find yourself there one day you might appreciate some compassion or empathy that you're denying others.
So if you don't have money, you should just die?
I'm not sure what you're saying, considering the person I replied to said the dude was right to try to murder a bunch of people, and I said property is not worth more than human life. I never said the world was free to live in, just that people who think that this behavior is acceptable over something that should be a human right are pieces of shit.
What are you trying to say?
It's not but it should be because it can be.
Pretty sure it used to be, too.
