[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sure there's the odd person out there who "happens" to live in gigantic houses and who I could get along with (I live in a $1.6M 900 square ft apartment, but that's NYC real estate), but the sheer environmental footprint of that building - creating, maintaining, etc - is honestly just gross to me. I may be hypocritical and judgemental on this, I certainly dont live a zero-waste life, but 15,000 just feels so gratuitously wasteful. I can't think of a valid justification for so much space (and OP certainly hasn't offered one) and such waste. So, no matter how much I liked someone, unless I found out they lived in such a giant house in order to accommodate the 30 refugee children they regularly fostered, or something else so obviously charitable and connected to home size, I'd question my friend's core values.[/quote]

What if they sponsor 30 (or more) refugee children with their money, [b]but don't make it a practice to talk about it[/b]?

Does OP do that?

OP, do you do that?[/quote]

I'm gonna go with. . . .OP doesn't do that.

SmartAss, I am not sure why you have made it your hill to die on, arguing in favor of all people in the world thinking gratuitiously and favorably towards people who live in 15K sq foot homes, but darned if you aren't passionate about it.  Kudos to you.  I guess. . .this is . . .important to you.

Please realize however that there are always people in the world who may disagree with you.  I am one of them on this particular issue.  Seems to be others on here who think similarly.  Let's just agree to disagree.

If you are able to get on with your day, that is.   Knowing that there ARE people out there who think differently from you.

Good luck.

Again, read. [/quote][/quote]
