If you think that a fair prison system is somewhere between the United States ' way of doing it , and Norway ' s way of doing it , then I think you misunderstand on a fundamental level <| sep |> I ' m not saying it ' s the same price , I ' m saying the few thousand dollar difference as I ' ve seen to be the case with some of the above makes could be deemed worth it to some considering the additional benefits and reduced risk of buying new . <| sep |> farming patterns against bots LOL <| sep |> I can empathize with landlords , as bad as landlords can be viewed , tenants can be just as bad in how some of them treat properties . Landlords want to ensure that whomever they rent to will look after their property . Pets risk , you can tell me your cats are clean till the cows come home but pet owners get used to certain smells when living with pets , smells that would hit a visitor right in the nostrils , that ' s not to say you ' re being unclean but the fact remains they are animals that either shit in a litterbox or in the garden and cat shit is 10 times worse smelling the dogshit just my opinion , plus the hairs , they get everywhere . The bottom line is you cant get annoyed at landlords for not accepting pets , it ' s perfectly acceptable to refuse on those terms . In Ireland there is a culture of low pet ownership for renters so you ' re in a tough spot but the above is a harsh truth you need to accept .
