The Fair Housing Center of West Michigan has filed a complaint against a 31-year-old woman in Grand Rapids. According to the complaint the ad "expresses an illegal preference for a Christian roommate, thus excluding people of other faiths." Says Executive Director Nancy Haynes, "It's a violation to make, print or publish a discriminatory statement. There are no exemptions to that."
You read that right! In Michigan, you are not allowed to choose what kind of roommate you'd like to have. You have to take what life gives you or the government will shove it down your throat. This law does not only apply to landlords but simply renters who would have to potentially deal with this roommate on a daily basis.
The case was turned over to the Michigan Department of Civil Rights. If the woman is found guilty of having a preference, she could face several hundreds of dollars in fines and “fair housing training so it doesn’t happen again.”
Despite growing opposition, the pig-headed organization intends to pursue this case. Says Haynes, "We want to make sure it doesn't happen again," she said. If there is a God, he's out taking a whiz right now.
Dumbass Lawsuit
Online dating service eHarmony has been forced by the government to create a special website servicing gay and lesbian individuals. The fiasco began when Eric McKinley a whiny gay man from New Jersey sued the website. McKinley for his "troubles" will receive $5000 from the business and a year of free membership.
Never mind that eHarmony is a private business whose prerogative it is to do business with whomever it chooses (and its service being entirely frivolous and far from monopolistic cannot in any way be considered an essential human right). The morons in the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights will force it to service homosexuals even though it may not be the strength or preference of the business owner.

William Deparvine, the deranged murderer who killed Richard and Karla Van Dusen after buying a truck from them, has been allowed to sue his victims despite being convicted and sentenced to death.
In 2003 Richard Van Dusen, who had recently married Karla, wanted to sell his prized 1971 Chevrolet pickup. He posted an ad in the classifieds and the one to respond was DeParvine, just seven months out of prison. Just a day after the sale was to occur, the Van Dusens were found dead, both shot in the back of the head.
According to authorities, Deparvine devised a plan to rob and kill the couple then make it look as though he legally bought the truck and someone else shot them. He even forged a bill of sale that included a $6,500 purchase price and Richard Van Dusen's signature. While Deparvine vociferously protested his innocence, the evidence, including DNA, proved otherwise.
While justice was supposedly served - Deparvine was sentenced to death in 2006 and thusfar all courts have upheld the sentence - a new twist in the plot has occurred. Deparvine has sued the victims' family for ownership of the truck he never bought. Richard Van Dusen's daughter, Michelle Kroeger, hired a law firm to gain possession of the truck, which had been held as evidence, however the murderer decided to file a counter-suit demanding possession.
That Deparvine, a sociopathic maniac, should demand the rights to something he stole is completel unsurprising. The shock in all of this is that the court did not simply throw his lawsuit in the trash. Not only does Deparvine have no right to his stolen goods, as a murderer scheduled to be annihilated, he should have no right to any of his possessions. All of his belongings should be disbursed to the family of the victims.
DAG says: Instead of stripping a monster of undeserved rights, the government has given that monster the ability to further terrorize society. God help our nation.
17-year-old Samantha Elauf, who wears a scarf on her head, is sore that she didn't get a job at a company whose aesthetic, shall we say, differs from hers. Now she's gotten the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to file a lawsuit on her behalf against Abercrombie & Fitch.
Thanks Dave!
Lewis and Clark County, MT. October 29, 2009 - A jury ruled that a baseball bat manufacturer can be held liable for the death of a pitcher who was hit in the head by a hard line drive. Hillerich & Bradsby, manufacturers of Louisville Slugger bats, was sued by the mother of Brandon Patch, who died in 2003 after a batter using an aluminum bat hit a ball into Patch's head before he could react. The jury awarded $850,000 to the family.
