Yes...you got a problem with that?
Nothing..

When I left home at 19, Pop told me "There are gonna be times when money is tight. But the very first bill you need to pay is the RENT . . .no exceptions."

Yes.
And pay your utilities, car insurance, vehicle registration if it's due and if you want to keep driving. Pay your credit card bills.
Just because you don't have any money, that's not a reason to not be responsible.
On the other hand, you could try talking to the people you owe money to. They may have mercy on you.
And if you simply cannot make ends meet, now would be a good time to reduce you debt to income ratio.
I refuse to pay rent I am willing to make a mortgage payment.
It's always crocodile tears for landlords. Spare me. It costs AT MOST a few hundred per month to maintain a property. They charge many multiples of that per rent. It's a pretty sweet gig if you have the money to get into it.
Rent, mortgage...it's still a housing bill...

No one shows up at my door asking for dough when it's a mortgage..
Nope, but they''ll show up with a foreclosure notice...
Our house and property (and everything else) is paid for.
However, unless it is the rare tax exempt property, at one level everyone rents their property from the government via property taxes - and in a way the government is the landlord being about to tell you what you may and may not do with your property by zoning laws, code enforcement laws etc.
If you allow them to do as such but I have landmines...
No toilet paper, huh...
There's no reason why a rent payment that covers the landlord's mortgage shouldn't give the renter equity.I refuse to pay rent I am willing to make a mortgage payment.
A home that's already built requires no more then a few hundred per month to maintain. Why is the landlord justified in charging whatever he wants for it?I am aware that you are continuously ranting and sobbing on this forum that we should be forced to pay your rent. But you have yet to explain your reasoning of why we all should be required to exist to work for and serve you.
Why don't you become a landlord and let people live there for free since you claim landlords get their property, houses and apartments for free? Why don't you go get a dozen free houses like you claim all landlords do, let people live there for free since you got them for free, and then you maintain your free houses you got making them rent free?

If I find you in the desert dying of thirst am I morally justified in charging you $500 for a bottle of water?
Rather than die? Yes.A mortgage and rental agreement are both contracts.
Are you for breaking a contract?
Rather than die? Yes.

You'll force people to live on the street rather than a landlord goes without a bit of profit? Even if they can't pay the rent through no fault of their own?Good. You will live. Without a roof over your head.
Can you say "eviction"?

Your claim is that you should be able to take my water so that I die of thirst.
Bible spamming on the internet ? A bit too early for that in any case."Really, what good will it do a man to gain the whole world and to lose his life? What, really, would a man give in exchange for his life?" Mark 8:36,37
