...but...I still must contend that it still comes down to matter of personal standards...I mean, what one person thinks makes somebody "better" than another isnt necessarily what others think...

I mean, yes, there is a class system...and I aggree that it is abit askewed(sp?) as far as making all wealthy people look like miserly fiends and the poor look like victims...and while anybody with eyes can see that such isnt usually the case, we still must look it as, no matter what your social standing, net worth, etc...we all came into this world the same way, and when we are gone, all that we have or have done wont really matter much anyway...I mean...some people really arent lying when they say they arent impressed by wealth...that's the way I look at it...

perhaps this will kind of contradict my first post but, the way I see it...if we all worked on being better people, perhaps, we wouldnt worry about being better than other people...

I agree with your last sentiment.
I don't think someones social position is based on an individuals view, but on how ones position viewed by society in general. I also subscribe to the view that most don't see the rich and upper class as one and the same. Though I know this is up to debate.
@ Way, I agree that the rich get blamed for just about everything, funny thing it usually by other rich people or other comfortable people.
I believe one of the best things about the U.S is the poor and working classes don't feel completely disenfranchised and believe they too can one day lead a comfortable life. Though I might be caught up in the so called "American Dream"

You have all made some interesting posts in this thread. Excellent "food for thought."

I still think it is a little funny to think that a man who helps you off with your overcoat is your social inferior due to just that one act, but I think there are plenty of men out there who are my social inferiors, such as those who are knowingly and consistently rude, thinks the rules exist for everyone but them, and do not take time to practice charity with those less fortunate than oneself.

Yes, I believe men such as those are definitely my social inferiors.

Kind Regards,

Chase
