The nonsensical "it's different here, there is oil here, omg there is no more room, you can't ever go wrong with real estate, the immigrants will save us, buy now or be priced out forever, etc." silliness is always pathetic. Show me real numbers, fundamentals, immigration/growth numbers, and statistics that you can bank on - not the handwaving BS.
Though to be honest, I do find it amusing sometimes too when their arguments make no logical or economic sense and they're flapping in the wind and everybody knows it.

I am a Realtor and I disagree with your portrayal of Realtors. You can't all paint us with the same brush. I advise all of my buyer's the possibility and likelihood of prices dropping in 2011 and 2012.
Perhaps you need to find better Realtors to talk to?
