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

    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?

    "you lot"
    Brilliant.

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

    I think it's terrible. I'm not sure that you're the best spokesperson for the cause, though.

    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

    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.

    can i point out that saying someone is a knacker/skanger/whatever does not automatically mean the middle classes are bashing the working classes. i know plenty of middle class scum. new money :rolleyes: what can ya do

    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
