middle class. what a bunch of unimpressive douchebags

 

[Boner_18]

I dont know what I find more disturbing... that someone would attempt to compare classes of people whose class is measured so differently across cultures or that anyone would read this drivel.

 

[Matty]

yeah, who the fok reads that rag

nytimes schmnytimes

 

[reno cool]

schmnytimes, how do you pronounce that? I've started reading Pravda

What exactly is the middle class? Does anybody really know? The metrics for what the middle class actually is changes from report to report, from study to study, and as a result, politicians use these arbitrary lines in their messaging.

Matty, please go easy on this kind of stuff. Some of our Yank friends, who we adore dearly, are pretty sensitive these days. Most of our Yank friends understand that deep down inside, we really love them, but a select few are kind of sensitive to this sort of stuff.

In the future, please keep this in mind when posting this sort of "drivel."

BTW, what is the NYTimes?

I would define it as property owners who still need to work to maintain their lifestyle. The working class has no assets and little possibility for savings/investments. The upper class is self-sufficient.

I agree with bone bone that these thoroughly unscientific articles are little more than drivel. Just thought it was a headline worth sharing.

 

[RayRay]

matty, you will be upper class soon... will you still post at gl?

 

[Matty]

I will not be self-sufficient anytime soon.

I will always post here. I already look down on most of you anyway.

Even those who are allegedly "retarded" and a "hillbilly?" Surely you're able to cut some slack on certain posters.

 

[Matty]

I'm not naming names.
