No, it would like be judging a book by its cover. Just because someone comes from a crappy lil shack doesn't mean there any less then you. Same with people who are rich. Like my house, I live on bass lake and its got some really nice house on it, but mines not the best. It doesn't mean that i'm automactily poor because my house isn't as good as the others. Same thing with rich looking house, you may assume because there house is nicer there rich or have more money then you.

i strongly disagree with this statement cause they may not have enough money to buy a good house and you sill think there poor when they are

I disagree because the quality or size of the house has nothing to do with the person. Someone with a nice house could be a drug dealer or mob boss. Also, a good person could have a horrible looking, one roomed house.

I agree. If someone lives in a clean house, they are normally somebody who works hard and gets what needs done, done. If someone lives in a messy house, they are normally lazy and don't do what's needed to get done.

I disagree you can not judge a person by the smallness of there house. My grandma has a normal sized house and she has over a million dollars. so you can not judge a person from the size of there house

no because it is wrong to judge people just because of the house that they live in. They might just be living there until they find a house that they actually want to settle down in... my house isn't that great but it doesn't define what kind of person i am......

I disagree with the statement because, just like yesterday, that is not always the case.

I definitely disagree with this statement because you don't know what kind of back ground anyone has come from. You also don't know what they can afford. Its whats on the inside of the person. You shouldn't judge them on what they live in, because in most cases it isn't their fault.

Kayla, I see what you mean but also think about this, a person who works hard may never have time to clean their house.

I some what agree with this and some what disagree. I think you may be able to tell a little bit about a person by their home, like if they have posters or pictures, you'd be able to tell what they like. If they had stuff put onto their home like maybe a deck, that may mean they like to be outside. If they had their house painted, they may like that color. It is just little things you can learn about them from their home.

well you can always tell a person by the house if the house is nice it means there not lazy and will do the best they can for a nice looking house, if its dirty and nasty that means the people are most likely lazy.

I agree and disagree nice people can live in not so nice house because there poor and don't have a lot of money. They can also live in a messy house because they don't like to pick up after them selves.

that could be true but it could not be true
my grandma look rich but she is poor

I strongly disagree, this is like judging someone by their looks and not how they act. Yes, people with more money seem to have enormous houses, and people with less money have smaller. You just can't always judge a person by looks of where they live, or what they look like.

i agree with devin they may have a lot of money but dont want to wast it all on a house and want to have a lot of money for other things they really need

Anonymous said...

i also agree to because most of the time if your house is clean or good looking it means that you have a better job, same with dirty houses, but you still shouldn't judge them by there house, you can but don't let that be your whole option about them.

No you cant tell a lot about a person by the house they live in it just like judging a person by there cover you got to get to know the person before you can judge a person

Laura Peddicord: I agree with the statement. A person's house tells alot about them! On the outside, no matter the house old or new. You have to look for cutt grass. Maybe some lawn stuff. Flowers. If the person's house has trash all over their lawn. Then that shows they are lazy. The inside of a persons house can tell even more. Pictures hanging can tell they love family. Cozyness in the place. Unlike some people let dogs/cats pee and crap all over everything. And they're house is never clean. Shows that they are lazy people. And being lazy, shows that they don't care. So if they don't care about their own homes, imagine what other things they don't care about?

Kaitlyn, I agree with that comment, because it may not always be the case. Just because someone has a dirty house, doesn't mean they are poor or anything.

Kourtney, i agree with you. Who knows if they had a bad back ground or not. They could be struggling with something horrible that most people don't go threw.

Kirsten, I agree with what you said. You can tell a few things about a person by their house. But that's not always the case, because what if somebody had a porch but didn't like going outside? they could possibly just like the rest of the house.

No, because it would be like judging a person.Its just comes and go. some people comes from a bad place, it doesn't mean their not any less than other people. I can tell that people thinks that other people can not be best at everything.

river not all the time look at my house its all ways clean and my mom cleans it like once every two week

shianna salyers I disagree just because somebody might live in a house that is not as good looking or is not cool dont mean that they are bad people or loosers and all that stuff and they might not have the money to have one of those big fansy houses

Most people try to keep up with their house, but if its not in the best of shape it is probably hard to. You can't tell what a person is like by looking at their house, you can tell if they try to keep up with it but you can't tell what kind of person they are.

Yes, because if the house doesn't look good then that means it might be a old house. I used to live in a old house on Toto road and it looked really bad. It had mold in the bathroom, the stairs wasn't safe because the steps were loose, and a lot of other things that were bad inside the house.

Anonymous said...

i actually agree and disagree with this statement because like i said before you dont know what a person is like just because of what their houses look like but also if a person is a hoarder then that shows that they dont like to let go of the stuff and that those things show memories and it doesn't necessarily mean that they are lazy people............

i agree with divin because there are nice people that live in nice house

I somwhat agree with shiana because yea some people might be clean and like to have houses but can afford them or have then time because of kids or work

Another thing, If there is an old guy, sitting on the front lawn constantly yelling and drinking. Do you think people will even want to judge? No. Their first thought would be to stay away. There would be no chance to judge him. You wouldn't even want to judge the book by its cover, you wouldn't even want to pick the book up.

btw laura peddicord said that

Kyle, It actually does have a lot to show about the person, because it shows how much money they make, or how much they are willing to do to improve their home.

i disagree, because people that live in a high class house could be rich and have the money to pay for it, and people that live in a messy falling down house might not have the money for a nice house.
What your house looks like should not be the description of a persons personality.

Kayla, yes that is true but it doesnt mean that it defines the person that actually lives in that house......

I agree with Kourtney because a lot of people do keep their house clean and the house is not in a good shape. My old house was like that.

no you can't tell a person by there house they house could look nice but they may not be nice people, or there home could be ugly but they may be nice people.
