    I don't think we should be either.

    Awwh,you can't be serious.
    Are we being trolled or what?

    Your generalisations are ridiculous,I know a barrister who drinks down the local.
    And I don't get the MBNA credit card thing?

    Also,underclass = single mothers?

    So sad...... :pac: Every "upper class" people i ever met in my life were the worse arsholes! Seriously -who still does think this way?
    My parents -educated (mum is Dr), (father was officer navigator )- not wealthy, not poor, but not able to finantially support me after i finished school.
    Me - 2 years of University, emigrated to Ireland after not beeing able to study or live earning 200eu/per month in book shop.
    Who am i? Who are all those people who were not lucky enough to be born in economically developed counties or not lucky enough to have both parents?
    -and what are worth are those "upper class" selfish, snobs?
    If i were to choose beetwen wealthy, intelligent, educated "upper class" man who thinks only about what to wear on next coctail party and between "working class" simple but genuine and honest guy i would choose the last one (even if he doesn't read books ;), because he at least probably has HEART not just diplomas and ferrari.

    ;) oh -forgot to mention i like "art, music and high culture" -but my grandfather wasnt wealthy, he was disabled after 2 years in concentration camp (when he was about 20) and my grandmother was working for free as a house maid in some german's officer house during the world war II. Classes... :/

    -do you think we can qualify this german officer as upper class? I am sure he was driving good car though and he had great house and he could afford maid (for free but who cares and if he killed few jews in the mean time it doesnt matter really)
