tzijlstra Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Did you need a doctorate to be a housekeeper? It sounds like a life wasted and that you're paid too much for a job that you've taken away from somebody who wasn't able to apply themselves as academically as you. Wayhay, very funny. Rather pathetic attempt wasn't it? Now, tell me what you do for a living and how you got there, and what about your background? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtkate Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 That's a HUGE statement to make. I can't disprove it, but it does appear rather unlikely. Do you think the "worst off" people in the UK, living in the poorest households, were much more likely to support leaving the EU because they correctly recognised that our membership of this political and economic union exists to mainly benefit the UK's affluent, highly educated elite? After 44 years of membership of this anti-democratic many tentacled monster, inequality and deprivation are increasingly being seen as a direct consequence of our membership. Even the remain side believe that their economic success and priviledged lifestyles are a result of being a part of the EU. I certainly think that the EU has enriched the few - at the expense of the many. That is why it must be destroyed. Completely. Utterly. Forever. If I believed that then I'd support you entirely, but I just don't. The EU has brought in no end of improvements to the average person from better working conditions, to massive growth of our economy providing more secure jobs. It has also brought some negatives, I don't fully support the total freedom of movement the EU allowed as I think it has perhaps brought more negatives to the EU than good, but it's borderline. The damage to average people by economic collapse will be far worse than the damage to people like me or the rich elite. I want a fully federal Europe with heavy socialist ideals, but we aren't going to get that tomorrow and in the mean time we need to ensure people don't starve and that needs money and a decent, solid economy. Even socialists have to be realists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Eh? I didn't come from a privileged background. I just studied extremely hard and it enabled me to have a very well paid career. We are not to blame for people who fail. There are opportunities for everyone to do this. No one deserves to have “anything” handed to them on a plate. The bottom line is this, if you don’t work hard enough to get what you want, who is to blame? You should join the discussion about privilege if you think that working hard guarantees the same outcome for everyone. The son of a middle class white family has to work considerably less hard than the daughter of a poor single black mother to achieve the same outcome in life. ---------- Post added 02-11-2017 at 09:28 ---------- Did you need a doctorate to be a housekeeper?

ENG601PM Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I'm very confused. How did you get "housekeeper" from "now look after students on a very similar journey."? Let's see. I read what he/she does as being more housekeeper than rocket scientist. Why you care is beyond me but it would explain your confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why you care is beyond me but it would explain your confusion. I've been part of the discussion since before you joined the forum, so I 'care' for small values of care about what is being said. Are you bad at reading, or good at deliberately misinterpreting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car Boot Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Wayhay, very funny. Rather pathetic attempt wasn't it? Now, tell me what you do for a living and how you got there, and what about your background? I do wish the remain side would cease and desist from eagerly flaunting their priviledged backgrounds and high incomes on this thread. We fully understand that this highly educated elite are out of touch with how the majority of decent working class people struggle to make ends meet. Despite 44 years of EU rule bringing "no end of improvements", supposedly. I am proud that I defied the will of Goldman Sachs in the referendum. Did you?

Cyclone Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) Please tell us your background , then we can decide , if you are right or wrong You refuse to answer and you'll be accused of avoiding questions. You answer and your "eagerly flaunting privilege" (which elsewhere carboot will deny exists as a thing). I do wish the remain side would cease and desist from eagerly flaunting their priviledged backgrounds and high incomes on this thread. ---------- Post added 02-11-2017 at 10:44 ---------- We fully understand that this highly educated elite are out of touch with how the majority of decent working class people struggle to make ends meet. Despite 44 years of EU rule bringing "no end of improvements", supposedly. 50% of school leavers now go to university to join the "highly educated elite". They voted overwhelmingly to stay. As did the majority of people with a reasonable education. Those who are poor, ill educated and elderly fell for (and apparently still are falling for) the lies from the leave campaign and the fake news campaign run by Russia. There's nothing special about being working class that makes someone decent btw, or any more decent than the middle class. A lot of people voted out as a protest vote against the tories. Unfortunately what they've done is handed greater power to the tories to take away the little protection the working class have.

"priviledged backgrounds" Lol, yeah... right! You sure you're not really called Ivan? Actually you did what Putin wanted Well, he does sound like a copy of Pravda from the 80's. ---------- Post added 02-11-2017 at 11:08 ---------- Did you need a doctorate to be a housekeeper?
