Craigslist Sued For Violating Fair Housing Laws

Posted by Zonk on from the not-good-form dept.

The Good Reverend writes "The Associated Press has a report today about online classified site CraigsList being accused in a federal lawsuit of violating fair housing laws by publishing discriminatory classified ads. Current law, which applies to newspapers, prohibits ads that discriminate on the basis of race, gender, family status, religion, all of which can be found on Craigslist."

  1. Craigslist, eh? by CRCulver · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    If I might put up an advertisement for my Craigslist advertisement, I offer professional typesetting services. See the linked-to Craigslist ad for more details. Don't worry, I won't refuse to beautifully typeset your work and make it print-ready on the basis of race, gender, family status, or religion.

    For starters, even though it's been more than 10 years, there is still the nasty bug that causes Linux to reboot every 47.9 days. Will this ever be fixed??

    Give me your home address and we'll have a little chat. I think you'll be convinced after hearing what I have to say. ;P

  4. Pussy by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    This is for real, I'm not joking. I realize I'm probably in the minority of slashdot posters, but I'm serious.

    I just fucked my wife, and she went to sleep. I came downstairs to surf the web, and watch TV. But I can't stop smelling my fingers. They smell like her pussy, which smells so fucking good I just can't describe. This happens every time I fuck her. Sometimes, after I've fucked her and not touched her pussy, I'll rub my hand on my dick and smell it just to smell her scent.

    I know it's weird... even in weird ways... just wanted to know if I was alone.

    TIA!
