Okay, I'm not going to argue with you about it forever.

Good idea since you've offered nothing more than an opinion in your defense...

Everyone began some where (class background or otherwise.)

Where we choose to go and how we travel is far more important.


I Shall Be Released.

I've been earning a living (working for compensation) since I left college. I'm just curious about the distinction you seem to be drawing between a person with a cap and a guitar, and a person without the guitar, are they really that different?

It's not curiosity, bobby, it's sarcasm at best, stupidity at worst. One is earning an income, one is asking for hand-outs in exchange for nothing.

OK, it seems to be your opinion that the person with a cap and a guitar is not a beggar. What if the person without the guitar told a humorous anecdote, would that turn said person into an comedian and thus not a beggar? What if the person recited scripture, would that make him/her a preacher and not a beggar?

Ala Pat Robertson?

Airplanes have first and second class seats (although I think some of them changed it to "business class" now). I wonder if we'll ever have third class seats.

Those are on the wing. ;)

Well, I've thought about it for awhile and I have decided what class I am in.

Middle class, lower end.

In other words, I'm a redneck that can afford a better brand of booze.

Let's check your claim out :o)

What does a one litre (1Ltr) bottle of no-brand (no-name / white label) Vodka (38% proof / alchohol) cost you in the USA from the local super-store?

This sounds like my driving test in America, questions like that and how much is the fine for driving while intoxicated etc. How would I know, I live in England.

(I passed the test with some very good guessing. For the vodka I guess $6.99)

Methinks I've been short-changed... ;)

$7 for a litre of Vodka.. That can't be real?

The best price in the UK is about £11 ($22)

Actually this gives me an idea for a new thread..

"How much does stuff (cr@p) cost you" :o)

"How much does stuff (cr@p) cost you"

It's free... And I get it from everybody... ;)

If I could pinch those little chubby ant cheeks without squishing you I would.

Otherwise that will cost you 2 rupee for me not to try n pinch anything..

I don't know. We have to go to the ABC store here in Virginia. I think the last time I checked the faux vodka (Distilled in Kentucky?) cost about 10 bucks a liter. Sorry, Bourbon comes from Kentucky, Vodka comes from comes from Eastern Europe/Russia, Beer comes from Germany, Scotch comes from Scotland, and Ale comes from Ireland.

Smirnoff, for example, basically comes from Archer Daniels Midland. Smirnoff buys grain neutral spirits (the same alcohol that is in all beer, wine, and spirits), run it through charcoal, add the water they like, and voila'! Vodka.

Whisky comes from Scotland
Bier comes from the continent
Ale comes fronm England
Guinness (Stout) comes from Ireland

Hehe..

I wonder if there is a way of telling which 'class' (or socio-ecconomic / educational background) people come from by what alcoholic beverages or other intoxicating chemicals they use?
