Hagar Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 im afraid the majority of em would still be working class the underclass are those who slip the net...homeless, tramps etc That's an interesting one. Would the underclasss extend to those who will always exist on a combination of benefits and petty theft? The local Manor drug peddlar, the Pitsmoor mugger, the Low Edges garage thief? They're the sirt of people who are outside of the system except for their gyros, and unlikely ever to pay tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fr8neck Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Human beings are social animals. One of their primary drives/instincts is to 'fit in'. This characteristic of 'fitting in', often quite repulsive and contemptible to an external observer, is the defining factor in what 'class' you are. If it is done unconvincingly and your associates view you as 'other' than themselves, then that is the determinant of your class. If it is done effectively then your antecedents are wholly immaterial. Welcome back BF/NC etc etc etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEKRO138 Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I'm upper class. I know this because I have a colour television AND dimmer switches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Web Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 What I have never understood is why northerners and Sheffielders in particular are obsessed with your class and where are you from? Why does it matter so much? I know people love an identity and hate success up here but why does sounding primitive and biblical make you better and everyone else is a intrusive outsider?

denlin Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Why are you posting on a 5 year old thread? Anyway everybody who has to work for their money no matter how much they have is working class. Even MOS. It's something to be proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
