When did the middle class become such arrogant, self righteous pricks?

demonspawn

SO reading a few of these "joke" threads, I thought I'd post this. Have you lot always been this intolerant and condescending? Or maybe it's just since the mid 90s when your daddies made a killing from the economic upturn? Any thoughts on the rampant class-based bigotry in this country?

It seems to me that the middle class are meant to be leaders for the ones working under them. So what happened?

mathie

"you lot"
Brilliant.

So are you a lower-class arrogant, self righteous prick or an upper-class arrogant, self righteous prick?

Intolerance fail.

Is it your lack of a penis has that got you so wound up? A self righteous prick is better than no prick at all......

Fair enough, I'm just calling it as I see it though. There is a clearly defined class structure in this country and the middle class seems to have forgotten it's role as leaders. The attitude that some of them take towards the people under them is nothing short of disgraceful.

I'm not saying the entirety of the middle class is guilty, but there are quite obviously some that do act this way.

And as for my use of "you lot", I'm referring specifically to whatever group of board members that think it's acceptable or humorous to sit at your computers and bash "skangers", "knackers", "scumbags" and whoever else you think you're better than. Give it a fu*king rest already, it's almost 2011 for fu*k's sake. A joke is a joke, but this isn't funny in the slightest.

i'm as working class as a battered sausage but i guess i'd be what some commentators would call the 'new middle' class...and they're quite right. nothing wrong with the fact that we as population with a higher level of education, less unskilled jobs, nicer gaffs (if your not up to yer tits in dept) and own 2 real cars instead of one datsun...

i didn't make up this s'hite, i just propogate it :cool:

ps: stop whinging

So anyway, this total knacker called Anto walks into a bar to meet his mates Snackbox, Solidifier and Curry Tits......

I thought it was the Upper classes who were the leaders. I'm confused.

Anyway, I'm upper working class, so your rant doesn't apply to me.

Mr. Presentable

Are there any middle class culchies?

Managers, teachers, politicians, journalists, media personalities, public service employees etc. Basically those that don't actually have to get their hands dirty and make 30k+ a year. The people that still have jobs in this country. People who can afford to buy a house in the suburbs.

Uh huh, hmm, my 'Daddy' is weaving baskets in Grange Gorman. Well, I say weaving baskets, I really mean my Daddy is a basket. But, ehm, we can't find all that cash he made during the upturn.

Rampant class based bigotry eh.....I didn't notice that myself but I stay out of the Southside meself. Can't speaka-da-lingo they've got over there. To me 'the Hills' is just some doldrums and small mountains.

The middle class are meant to be leaders? Thats news to me, I just thought they were designed to block up two lane situations with their land going vehicles and give us a laugh calling their kids quasi-aristocratic names like Horatio and Cosmo, whoowhee you learn something new every day.

Working under them.....working under them....like in their basements and stuff?

so what words should people use instead ? "remember the dear fellow who knocked you to the ground and stole your handbag" ?

i know what my definition of a scumbag is

Anyone know what points differentiate classes? I'd like to know how you jump up or fall down a class. You know, like Sonic the Hedgehog getting an extra life at 100 rings, or losing all his rings when he is injured.

So you go around the place assigning people into class groups, and then assign leadership positions to one of those groups, and we're condescending ones?! Oh lawks a lumsy, the irony. I'm off out now to exercise my innate leadership qualities and have a working class scobe do my bidding!

Nevermind, there are loads of other ill informed stances to take on the internet - you'll not get bored for many a year.

Essentially yes. It seems that for all that third level education, some of them are still as thick as sh*t.

Hahaha so you're a JC flunky? I remember people like that at school they all fecked off after the JC to take up apprenticeships and the like then pop goes the bubble and now they all cry that they have no work and are on the dole.

Well I laughed a little when I saw the first few complaining and I laugh now again, louder. :pac:

A scumbag isn't a class of person - it's a person (from any class) who acts in a scummy way. None of these threads say 'What funny working class person story do you have?'

Rich pricks - upper class
Bosses and educators - middle class
laborers etc. - working class


Didn't they teach you this sh*t in uni?

Seems to me that in this country a scumbag is someone from a certain area or someone who has a particular accent. Tell me I'm wrong.

Class is not denoted by jobs alone - did they not teach you that shít in the uni playschool you went to.

Cheap Thrills!

I wanna post that Monty Python class sketch but I can't find it. Too working class I am, maybe one of my middle class leaders might help me.

And for Gods sake throw me down a torch and a sandwich, it's dark as fook in this basement! :cool:

What is the most likely way that it would come about that Anto, whacker and solidifier will take stock of their own puerile existence and be inspired to embark on a journey of personal and spiritual evolution?

Will it be from your molly coddling and positive reinforcement?

Or will be from their ears ringing with the cruel mirth of their demoniac betters on boards raining righteous judgement down on their gaping inferiority.

I think you know the answer

What else defines class then? How does someone from the working class get into the middle class? Promotions.

Why bother posting that if you can't even offer your own opinion? Or do you even have one? Why are you posting?
