Ain't living in a free country grand? If you want to cover your body with tattoos you're free to do so. If you don't want to rent your property to people covered with tattoos you don't have to.

Thoughts?

Most people with tattoos scare me and they are pretty lazy too. If you can't respect how you were born, what can you respect. Seems pretty basic to me.

Way to stereotype. And, all black people like fried chicken and watermelon, right?

While I find the landlords policy distasteful, I fully support his right to rent to whoever he pleases. It's a non-issue if I ever saw one.

That's a bit bizarre really, I don't see why he should exclude people just because they choose to have tattoos, tattoos in no way reflect a persons personality. I know people from all walks of life with tattoos, lovely people!

I believe fried chicken and watermelon are delicious, and I support the right of any person, of any race, to disagree with that statemnet.

The landlord's reasons are his own.

I just think its funny when people do things to themselve to look different, then whine when <gasp> they get treated differently.

Yea, if we were supposed to look different, we would.

You cannot be serious. I have a very hard time believing that someone is as absolutely clueless as you're pruporting to be.

Why? Because I disagree with you? So, I must be clueless, right? Typical liberal bait and switch..

Would you say this applies to people who get ear's pierced or die their hair?

In theory, yes, in reality, no. Ear piercing and non-faddish hair coloring are universally accepted where walking around with nails driven through your eyebrows and covered with tattoos is somewhat taboo.

I'm not a "liberal", and you make yourself look more foolish everytime you refer to me as one.

Well I hardly see tattoo's on arms as being taboo and they're generally accepted in society, despite being slightly uncommon. Head, neck and hand tattoo's are still seen as taboo though. (Things might be very different where you are though.)

Well then stop sounding like one.

It's interesting that in the future, people will be discriminated against for NOT being tatooed ... you know the mark of the beast and all. The key is to get your 6's when it's fashionable ... not too early, or you'll be a freak and be kicked out of your apartment. And not too late or you'll just starve.

The inaccuracy of your perception is hardly an issue I can address.

	For just an instant, have a glimpse, a vision, of life through my eyes. It is a staggeringly joyous perspective, a view of how each person's choices can make their own life better. It is a vision of the possible, of how things can and should be.
