Minky made me thinky
I was thinking about what common is and I would probably put myself in the 'common' catagory, but not in a bad sense of the word:

I get horrendously drunk
I drink pints
I smoke
I get the bus
I go to McDonalds
I've shopped at Netto
I put cordial in old water bottles
I have a broad accent
I have tattoos
I've copied CDs
I've loitered about the streets because theres no where to go
I'll admit that I've watched Big Brother (gulp)
I have friends on the dole
I buy socks and make-up from the market


That doesnt make me a bad person. I also have morals and a sense of decency. I can define between what is right and wrong and I know how to conduct myself in public.

People who:

Scream and swear at their kids
Fight outside takeaways at 3 in the morning
Vandalise public property
Are racist
Swear at each other across roads in the middle of the day because it makes them look 'ard
Steal and lie

aren't common, they are uneducated delinquents who were brought into the world by stupid people who couldn't take care of themselves let alone children.

So maybe the things that you think are common are just things in society that get you annoyed :)

If only snobs like Minky actually knew the difference between "being a bit cheap" and "being an insufferable antisocial scumbag", this qotw wouldn't resemble such a good recruiting poster for Al Qaeda.

You speak sense.
There's no reason to look down upon people for where they shop, what they eat, or the accent they have. There's plenty of good reasons to look down upon people whose purpose is life is to make those of others a living hell.
