(This person is kinda upset that I dissed their favorite browser. I actually use Chrome and I like it, but for some reason the layout here is different than on Firefox. And of course, the iPad and IE just plain suck. You tool.)

Hardwood flooring vs. carpet

What are the advantages and disadvantages of hardwood flooring and carpets? I know most of these might seem like common sense to the average person but I actually did learn something today.

Hardwood
Pros
* Lasts longer than carpet, though you may need to refinish it from time to time.
* Not conducive for dust or pollen.

Cons
* More expensive.
* Less forgiving to the knees and elbows if you were to roll around on it. You'll need some rugs.

Carpet
Pros
* Cheaper.
* Softer and warmer. You can toss and turn on it.

Cons
* Doesn't last as long. Gets stained relatively easily and looks ragged after about five years.
* Bad for people with allergy and worsens indoor pollution.
