Point: Glass Houses

Here is my position:

1) The individual in this scenario is standing outside the house.

2) The stones that break the house are stones thrown by other people back at the original thrower.

3) The purpose of the adage is this: don't criticize other for faults you also have (you live in a glass house), because they could just as easily criticize you (break your glass house).

And, for full disclosure and with a tip of the hat to Mr. Callahan, I provide the following link (begins at 2:45) : http://videyos.com/demetri-martin-findings/106/

I await a counterpoint.

Opening Topic: Glass Houses

In order to kick off this conversation, I'd like to pose a question that was hotly debated last week.

We are all presumably familiar with that adage "people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." Question#1: where is the person throwing stones standing - inside or outside the house? Question#2: whose stones are breaking the glass house, the thrower or some other party's? Question#3: As a result of your answers to #1 and #2, what advice do you believe this adage is trying to impart?
