This is a question Class

Dan Prick tugs our coat and tells us: "I'm enormously middle class, and was once dragged along to a bingo club by a former girlfriend and her mum. It's incredible the fury you can whip up in a room of old biddies winning a fuckton of money and telling them 'This is a load of old shit, really'". Like Pulp's Common People, have you ever tried to act down, or act up?

Money isn't class and class isn't money
Class is something you may be born into but that may not mean your loaded. In my experience the people born into class tend to treat everyone better than people born into money.
I've worked in Manor houses, spoken to landowners who's trousers have been held up with bailing twine and they drive a 25 year old Range Rover...because it hasn't worn out yet. And for the most part they have spoken to me and taken (or a lest feighned) a interest in my work. These faded gentry for the most part are ok people, they know they have a responsibility to their tenants. They are a little 1950's in their views but I believe that is because they have been isolated from a lot of 'real' life. If you took one to the inner city and showed them the problems the people there face....they may at least understand.
Compared those to the Moneied generation, same sized houses but that's where the similarites end. They think money solves every single problem and if money can't then just ignore the problem. Now where the aristos may be a little removed from everyday life the new wealthy who may have come from these roots treat them with contempt.

I've seen into both of these worlds and you know what...the new wealthy don't behave any better than the average Jeremy Kyle guest...Affairs, drug use, fighting over wills and probate, gambling anything that happens on social housing happens behind those electric gates too. It is like Jeremy Kyle just with Botox and better dentists. Not to mention the ass kissers and hangers on who can often be worse than those with the money.

I no longer what that big house and fleet of cars because I've seen the underside of if all and the price is just too high. I'm a happy to treat everyone eaqually people with true class respect that.

Batmans a cunt of the highest order
Fetish wearing vigilante. He could have chucked his money into building a secure prison instead of a revolving door facilty gothic ruin. Or better schools/urban regeneration projects instead of nancying around in the dark.

Being a fictional character is no excuse for failing to solve the world's ills.
This is why I've applied for a bursary from Tony Stark.

I don't read comics but I'm still fairly sure that Arkham Asylum was opened by Mr Arkham, not Mr Wayne.

OK for those of you who cant do joined up thinking i'll spell it out really slolwy
I've met and worked with people with money and also people born into class and I much prefer those with class than with money. But i'm happy where I am and don't aspire to either.

There that wasn't difficult was it?
Next time i'll use shorter words.

And don't get me wrong, there was a rich person at my brother's wedding, and he was OK.
And it's not _all_ rich people I'm talking about, just the few who give the rest a bad name.

it's not the length & complexity of the words that is important
it's whether or not they are used in something that doesn't make your eyes slide of the screen like flung shit off a monkey house window in abject boredom

Oh, well I can do joined up writing just fine.
You do seem to think an awful lot of yourself, which is why you're getting such a negative reception.

For someone who is fumbling and fucking about trying to say that there is no reason to be impolite to people, you sure are a rude cunt.

See, not a single typo.

That toff that spoke to you and pretended interest merely had such utter contempt that he couldn't be bothered to be rude.

It's always been absolutely not done to be rude to people you consider beneath you.
In fact, being overly nice to one's almost-peers used to be the accepted way of showing your superiority. Edwardians would get into spirals of politeness rather than accede and acknowledge they were the inferior party.
