Between sexual offenders, corrupt foreign officials and murderous gangsters you are left scratching your head as to how this game is held in such regard. There's a lot to be said about unbridled greed
Should I post negative articles of fathers and exclaim all are the same?
Articles of crime in Melbourne and call you all criminals?
I bet I could find articles on people in your industry who've done similar things too.
Because fact is, there's always at least one person in every industry/location/category who has a negative impact on it. If these are the straws you clutch at to try to prove a point, then good luck with your sad existence.

Send to be highly overrepresented in the real estate sector....and preachers.

Highly over-represented or perhaps highly exposed?
No one really cares what happens to real estate agents, there is plenty of them. No one really cares what happens to a small time developer. Exposing the bad in that bunch isn't going to come with big consequences. Same with why teachers are always in the news too, the amount of teachers in the news you'd think our schools are ran by criminals. But it's because they are easy targets. Schools aren't huge organizations that'll take you down, teachers generally don't have high net worth to scare you from going near them.
Whereas the truly corrupt industries/organizations/individuals are too big to try to take down. Sure every now and then you get that die hard journalist who thinks going to jail proves how heroic their job is, but for the most part people don't want to go near a company that could destroy their lives with lawsuits and accusations. If you base all your assumptions off what you read in the media, then you'll be severely misled.
The disregard for human lives in mining companies is astonishing, the sexual harassment in big sales companies (like TV stations) is astounding, the blind eyes in the casinos are a joke, the chemicals in our food knowing full well what damage is does to our body is almost murder and the advertising companies that are allowed to cover it all up. I could go on and on and could pick at things like tax evasion and the violation of human rights in the large companies but there's not really any point. Reality is those companies are too big to take down, no one wants to get into beef with those. The news could be plastered with what happens in some of those companies and people would feel sick hearing about it. But that's life, as always it's the easy targets that get hit. The police officers, the teachers, the real estate agents, the small business owners etc. By putting the small people in the news, makes us think that the true criminals are being caught and takes focus away from the big companies as we'll naturally assume they are abiding by the laws, but they aren't.
So I'll stand by my argument of every industry has the good and the bad in it, but it doesn't make all the people part of that organization bad. People low down in the food chain in big companies obviously don't know whats going on up top, so it doesn't make them a bad person for working there and at the end of the day we've all got bills to pay. Just because you get a few people pop up in the news every now and then, doesn't mean that's the industry as a whole or that it's any worse than any other industry.
In the 21st century the majority of preachers aren't standing behind a pulpit, they come on to blog sites like this and preach their own brand of fire and brimstone, at people whose lifestyle they covert.

Hmmm, my personal thought is that it's about as (ir)relevant to feel to highlight the fact he was an RE agent as it would be to feel to highlight the facts he's a 38 yo Victorian.

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
