Social Snobbery ( Archived) (446)

nomindgames: Bodecia looks like you hit on a topic that is thought of by others too. I totally understand your commentary. Many men I talk to are not as well off as they once were. Most try to hide the situation afraid women will back off if there isn't much $ to be spent. It doesn't matter to me if I meet someone and we get along and I enjoy his company. We can go to the park, watch rented dvd's, even cut out the coupon for the diners-"Breakfast Special. 2 eggs toast and choice of meat $3,99 with coupon". Those who are still doing very well in this economy, I am glad for them. However any who are snobs could be on the street homeless in 2 weeks (yes it has happened). So if a man will only date me if I fill a criteria of a M.A. am making over 40,000, live in a posh home or apt. and havel traveled the world, for them. They would be the loser not me. I met a man one time who had it all in the "jetset" world". He seemed down to earth. I on the 2 nd date, talked about the shelter where I was volunteering on weekends. He was totally turned off and that totally turned me off. Okay enough said here, know where I stand.
Good topic girl.

Ambrose2007: And here I was all cheering and applauding your thread, A, and then...

felixis99: I have not seen anyone say people of a lesser education are not worthy

TrueBlue1986: Hello,

I can only appeal to your sense of realism here. It may seem a nice idea to organise the entire World, raise their standards to ours - depose every tyrant, educate every savage.

But, how is this possible?

Can we afford to focus upon them when our own house is in such disarray?

Does history not show us what happens to these attempts at a Global Socialist utopia?

And when I go out canvassing for votes, am I to tell workers in Manchester that they have to wait for jobs until Socialism comes to Timbuktu?

felixis99: Oh and BTW I am an oddity as I seriously believe that we should be taking our education from the so called savages u speak of Great White Hunter

tomcatwarne: Really, I think this is an insult to people who have taken years of hard work to get a degree.
It really is the inverse snobbery I was talking about earlier. If you study and get a degree you are consodered a weirdo by some stratas of society.

EagleWoman: You must be mis-informed!! Ask to see ALL the private records of all the schools children in UK and please don't forget to also ask to see the secret private records of the Catholic Church ...

If by then you're not shocked enough yet ... look deeply into how mental health patients AND the elderly are looked after and "helped" to get better (in the UK) ... it's not quite to the standards of making necklaces out of human finger bones because they prefer to dress it up with clever words that sound avant-guarde and oh so "looking forward".

As for cival war ... just hold your breath for a short while and you'll be able to take notes while you watch it happening.

EagleWoman: Why is it an insult to value a different type of learning from the one that can be offered in this part of the world?

Why do so many people assume that what is given to someone else must have been taken away from you?

plainlyjune: Yes, i pick my friends, not based on money, education or status in society. I like good people as in good in heart. And i can't tolerate anything illegal, so i guess what they do for a living should be legit no matter how simple or complicated.
