    Is this some sort of a research survey you're conducting?


    I've got no class, not sure how much that helps you though.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,154 ✭✭✭silverfeather


    My parents were both very working class growing up and when I was very young we would have been. Now lower Middlish class..??

    I am just a nice person...I defy class structures...really is the nice people and *****...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,816 ✭✭✭lulu1


    I consider myself nothing short of top class


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,944 ✭✭✭✭4zn76tysfajdxp


    I'm a proper true blue working class Irishman. I loves me pint of plain, I loves me football and I loves me making **** puns and cackling loudly at me own jokes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,912 ✭✭✭Simi


    Lower middle class I guess. Or working class. Or something else. I dunno.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,154 ✭✭✭silverfeather


    It's quite relative I would know a lot of wealthier people who would consider themselves middle class etc.

    I never got why you only get into first class after two years of primary schooling.

    I don't know, the posh people mock me because I'm from the north side, and the skangers think I'm posh because I sound like a D4 head to them.
    Meanwhile I look down on everyone as a shower of thick paddies with delusions of grandeur and big mortgages.
    So, probably higher upper class?

    By any chance are you teacher?

    According to this: http://6h6ancientrome.weebly.com/uploads/1/2/2/2/12222825/8017898.gif?533

    I'm between upper middle and lower middle.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,962 ✭✭✭r93kaey5p2izun


    Working class because I work and struggle to afford decent accommodation. I am less well off than my parents in real terms but have had better educational opportunities.

    Nope.

    What class am I? Senior infants


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,363 ✭✭✭KingBrian2


    Lower middle class.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,154 ✭✭✭silverfeather


    It's strange I have cousins in balrothery in tallaght and one is now an accountant and has worked in the UK for top firms and now works here. He still lives in tallaght and some people would class him as working class but for superficial reasons like accent or whatever. We lived there when I was very young (or near ish) before we came to where we are now there is very little but a superficial difference in some ways.

    It doesn't mean anything really to me if you are nice to me I will be nice to you. Don't be a jackass. There are two classes assholes and nice people.

    If you are kind and treat others as a lady/gent then you should feel good about yourself. Treating others with class and respect makes you classy.

    I can't answer that until someone actually defines what differentiates classes in Ireland.

    Better them than another 5 years of FG class

    (and THAT'S the scary part.. the lack of palatable alternatives we have!)

    Probably working/middle class... my salary supposedly puts me in the "top 10%" but yet I have less money than ever thanks to all the taxes and charges.

    If your salary puts you in the top 10%, then you're not working class by any definition that includes income.

    In the Marxist model of capitalistic social class I'm proletarian risen to bourgeoisie...then fallen back to proletarian again. I'm a prole with pretensions and aspirations.

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    I'm locking this one up as I suspect the OP is asking this as part of his college assignments.
