  • and I distinctly said that it should be "a right"

    Yes, you did, but you said it as part of an answer to the question "why are landlords considered parasites?", and you explained that those who own more homes than they can live in are parasites. The logical conclusion (would be that it should be outlawed to be a landlord.

    So, how am I to understand that? Should there be a quota, an acceptable amount of parasites so to speak?

  • If that means the government subsidises it for the low income families (as in owns them and rents them at below market value), so be it.

    Not everybody who doesn't want to buy is low income. I'm too lazy / risk averse to maintain everything myself, so I happily pay my landlord a reasonable premium to bear the risk of shit burning down (or breaking in less dramatic ways) for me. I also like that I would be able to pack up and move without worrying about selling my old place. I might change my mind later on, but right now I'm good.

    Why should governments subsidize the lifestyle choice I'm consciously making?

  • not in 12th grade listening to my classmate Jeremy try to read it without having it explained to him first. He kept pronouncing it "ARgul" rather than "arGALL" so he never heard himself say the joke.

    Perhaps my English teacher could have done a better job conducting this lesson but was this really a useful exercise in reading comprehension?

    My money is on "your teacher didn't know the joke either".
