I regret making my comment. Because i SHACK doesn't mean I am describing someone's home. I live in Jamaica and I know the different types of homes here. I used that word because I hear lots of people from North America with it. And my place is Shack to my husband. He grew up the opposite from way I grew up. And it is not so easy for some persons to adjust to a certain lifestyle regardless of the circumstance. And when I say shack I was referring to my place. To me it is is ok, but not for my husband. And shack is not a degrading word because. It is degrading to the person who feels offended by it. Never will I make a comment on something of that sort again. And yes I feel offended because I was speaking for my husband. And something my husband and I just wont do, we wanna be together but at the same time we wanna be comfortable and we are different and it is ok to be different.
