Samilktray Posted 27 July 2014 Share Posted 27 July 2014 I often look out for someone wearing equally as random football shirts as me when I'm walking the dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rincewind Posted 27 July 2014 Share Posted 27 July 2014 TBH I would not want to live in a street full of toffs. If I am going to be looked down the nose upon I would rather it be by someone whom I have something in common with Is that prejudice? maybe but it is at least not prejudice because of a superiority complex.

I think the term you're looking for is inverted snobbery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No its prejudice because of an inferiority complex. If you could afford to live in a street fill of "toffs" then you'd have probably done quite well for yourself and wouldn't be so jealous of other successful people. Plus you'd have the benefit of spare rooms and could do all the social mingering you wanted so life would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rincewind Posted 27 July 2014 Share Posted 27 July 2014 I'm not jealous of them or envious of some of the arrogant stuck up manner some of them display. I would still have the same friends now. One living area comprising of a library lounge, sitting room, kitchen en suite bedroom and servants quarters would be ample for me. I am not greedy. I'm not talking about the ones that work their way up. The ones that get me are the ones that live off inherited wealth that their parents may have worked for or did the same. Anyway I thought you were against people that slobbed around doing nothing all day. I am too but I include those at all social levels not just the lowest. Come on you must agree there undesirables at the top too. I have said there are some at the bottom to balance things. Why don't you? If I started to socialise with toffs I would have to stop coming on Foxes Talk. I could not fraternize with common peasants now could I. Just kidding Of course I would still come on Foxes Talk. I would change my name to Lord Snooty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rincewind Posted 27 July 2014 Share Posted 27 July 2014 So parent working to better the lives of their children is a bad thing? Where did I say that? You think it is OK for the children to be spoilt? I'm in a playful mood today ignore me. I'm harmless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavrentis Posted 27 July 2014 Author Share Posted 27 July 2014 I don't get the problem with inherited wealth. The parents probably worked hard to make life for their kids easier. It's their money and if they decide to give it to their kids all the more power. It's their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's their money and if they decide to give it to their kids all the more power. It's their money. Fair enough. But I was brought up in a household where money was tight. I appreciate what I have and have learned that money is not something you throw about. What you never had you do not miss/ My point was that if you give in to every me want and I'll have a tantrum if I dont get it. The kids will not appreciate what they have when older Anyway my original post was tongue in cheek and it was taken too serious. I responded to Mooses tongue in cheek post in kind.I was playing along but that has been spoilt now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rincewind Posted 27 July 2014 Share Posted 27 July 2014 This bit. Yes but it is not them that worked they are taking advantage of their parents generosity without contributing anything. How can the appreciate the value of things? Did you not do a paper round or odd jobs in return for pocket money? you will have grown up a better person for it. People have said you should not get things for nothing I am just expanding the idea to everyone to be fair and equal I also said who may not have worked otherwise wealth passed down over several generations. But never mind I am done with this. It started off as a lighthearted tongue in cheek remark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooseBreath Posted 27 July 2014 Share Posted 27 July 2014 I agree with you ken. I think people should earn their own money rather than taking it from other people while doing nothing themselves. But if a parent wants to make life comfortable for their children with money they've earned through hard work then that's their choice. It's not as if the child is saying they can't be bothered to work so they're just going to live on tax payer handouts, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
