You Learn Something New Every Day

For instance, I learned today that zoning regulations that restrict the colour of a housing structure are racist.

I'm having a hard time finding the Federal statute that describes this kind of anti-immigrant fever as a "hate-crime," but I'm sure it's on the books somewhere...

The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

Sounds like she's profilin' herself.

I'm against onerous zoning regulations because I favor property rights - but "Profiling"? c'mon.

*Well, this type of thing is nothing new at all. Zoning laws have been gaining strength and tenacity over last few decades. There is one neighborhood around OKC that bans all pickups from the front of the houses and street. If your pickup costs more than your car, it is still not allowed to be parked in your driveway.

These will continue as long as there are whiny people trying to force someone else to live at their own standards. Did you know that some areas are using flyovers to take photos of properties in their area to see if any unauthorized building, remodeling or additions have occurred?

Thank GOD for country living. NO one can tell me how to live on MY property, what I can do on MY property or tell me to NOT do anything else.

This country was founded on freedoms and laws in coordination with each other. Lately, laws have surpassed the idea of freedom. Nepotism, laziness and jealousness have given power to socialism.

*I lived next door to a purple house once.
I hated it. I had nothing against skin color...I hated the garish purple.

Also...in my neighborhood, the illegal's are harassing the LEGAL immigrants.

*but, are you saying that you or others should have the right to tell that purple house owner that they can't paint the house purple? Maybe that color is what keeps the owner from going psycho? What if brown or even plain white was disallowed?

I have even seen yellow houses with purple trim. These houses are their owner's pride and joy. They make the people happy and content.
