Is a person that buys land as an investment also a "horrible person"?

  No, but I've also got negative opinions about people who derail arguments with the assertion that X is exactly like Y, so that now I'm spending time talking about their analogy instead of my point.

    Analogies are important to help understand the world and put things in context. Not only that, but analogies like this are commonly used in our legal system to both argue a point and justify a judicial decision. So I disagree that my comment is a derailment at all. X doesn't have to be exactly like Y for a comparison to be drawn, and I see little difference in the two.
