> No it isn't, your straw-man is pathetic

I came into this argument sympathetic to your point of view, and I think I might have flipped my position.

OP's arguments are far from straw men.


You're quite abusive, but beyond that, you're not really responding in kind.

The post you originally responded to, simply explained the risks involved in renting, and why a credit check is often used to reduce that risk.

As a response you went on a rant about, essentially, "screw landlords" inline with "because they have what I don't". This is effectively what you said, and you've doubled down here.

No matter what, you're blaming the wrong people. If you have an issue with how certain aspects of our free economy works, I'll listen. But blaming landlords is akin to blaming car dealerships because a car is expensive. It's finger pointing without cause.
