Oh wait - this would be the best yet: "Because you only have one story, you don't live in a house, you live in a shack. Don't call it a house because it degrades the value of my home associating it with yours."

Do you people see the ridiculousness of the argument - I mean really. My car is less than yours because it has a smaller engine? - its not about being less it's about being different.

The "argument" needs to stop.

edit: I realize that came off a little .... heated - wasn't the intention. Just trying to make a point.
I'm not sure the argument you make comparing houses it a good one. They do the kinds of things your talking about with houses. Now, in some places they tell you what colors you can use, how much square footage you can have, witch way the house will face, # of garages and etc.. And this all is to keep lessor homes out to keep valves at an even level. So, in some places 1000sq/ft is not considered a house and some colors aren't good enough. I still don't believe we should run down the v-6 people because that's what they choose to drive. I can see a v-8 guy explaining why he doesn't want a v-6 and the v-6 people shouldn't take offence to that. What made me mad last night was someone outright run down a person themselves and not there car and I felt compelled to say something. I'm glad to see the mods got rid all that.
