Here is a great example of the liberal mindset.
I have a friend with a nephew who recently graduated from college and has started a job as a computer engineer. While in college he was living in a three bedroom apartment with two roommates. The lease expired in early June, so he gave notice in May that he didn't intend to renew his part of the lease. No problem, but shortly before he moved out one of his roommates found his employment offer letter, which stated his salary. The next day there was a major argument that he should pay the rent for his two roommates for the next lease term (12 months).
Why should he pay his roommates rent for the next year when he wasn't even going to be living in the apartment? Quote "Because you can" unquote.
He immediately moved his laptop and a few other items of value out of the apartment, and then moved out the next day. The former roommates are now threatening a lawsuit. On what legal grounds who knows.
