What Class Are You?
 

We're told that we're increasingly living in a class-less society, but people still (in the UK at least) define themselves largely around class categories. So what are you?

Middle-fucking-class

Of course I'm middle class, I live in Surrey. But the majority of other Surrey-ites probably see me as Plebian.

I'm working class.

mage.

although I've also played a rogue, hunter, worlock and priest.

A working class hero is something to be

I don't really know to be honest but probably uncomfortably wedged somewhere between Working and Middle class.

I'd be interested to hear how people decide which class they fit into, or not. Do you take into consideration what class your parents are/were? And to what degree. Or is it largely based on your own situation/beliefs etc?

Lower middle class.

Cleese: (In bowler hat, black jacket and pinstriped trousers) I look down on him (Indicates Barker) because I am upper-class.

Barker: (Pork-pie hat and raincoat) I look up to him (Cleese) because he is upper-class; but I look down on him (Corbett) because he is lower-class. I am middle-class

Corbett: (Cloth cap and muffler) I know my place. I look up to them both. But I don't look up to him (Barker) as much as I look up to him (Cleese), because he has got innate breeding.

Cleese: I have got innate breeding, but I have not got any money. So sometimes I look up (bends knees, does so) to him (Barker).
Barker: I still look up to him (Cleese) because although I have money, I am vulgar. But I am not as vulgar as him (Corbett) so I still look down on him (Corbett).

Corbett: I know my place. I look up to them both; but while I am poor, I am honest, industrious and trustworthy. Had I the inclination, I could look down on them. But I don't.

Barker: We all know our place, but what do we get out of it?

Cleese: I get a feeling of superiority over them.

Barker: I get a feeling of inferiority from him, (Cleese), but a feeling of superiority over him (Corbett).

Corbett: I get a pain in the back of my neck.

working-middle class

i'm a working class hero.

i work down the coal mines

the family is upper-middle

i am class-less, but that could change in the next few days....

Pretty much brought up as middle class, though my parents were both from working class/"underclass" families. Guess that makes them lower-middle class or summat?

And for that we salute you, sir. ;)

Upper

scutter, through and through

what class am i?????????????


TOTAL CLASS!

Working class, or lower working class.

Saying your working, or middle class is a weird one these days. what is it that defines them?

In America, Middle-Class you have to at least be livinh in a beautiful home in Surburbia, lower and working class live in cities, or the shitty towns of suburbia.

Oh shit, i thought that this was about school... silly me, i picked clasless.

if based on wages/area/property, working class.

This is a tough question to answer coming from a "broken home", so to speak. My dad makes a shitload of money (or at least more than I could ever hope for), and my mom barely makes enough to support herself. My brothers and I have gotten by on my dad's child support, but that stopped for me months ago. My dad likes to pretend that he doesn't make as much as he really does, but that's just in front of me and my brothers. He thinks that if we knew his exact salary, we would expect more from him than he gives us, which is stupid because I do know his salary and I can't remember the last time I asked him for something. If my brothers didn't have his child support, we would be living below the poverty line. It's a strange situation.

My parents both make at least 25 thousand together, nothing more than 27.

my mom earns loads, dad earns well...whats that make me? i dont understand all the classing labels

You are middle class.

oh ok
whats upper class?

Maybe you, since your parents make lots of money, nd not making enough to be rich.

maybe
doesnt sound very nice though, sounds so greedy and snooty

Well, yeah that is what classes are. Lower working class, is a bit of a step up from poor.

i grew up in an upwardly mobile middle-class family but then fucked it all up & became an underclass bohemian nobody. oh the joys of having no money and no job. lately i have no clue, i have a lot of education but a strange lifestyle. bohemian-bourgeois? no idea. my brother is definitely upper middle class, along the family tradition, but im just weird.

You're probably lumpen proletariat

oh yes, most definitely lumpen. :p

that the same situation my family is/was in, except nobody knows what my dad's salary is, although i know it's over 6 figures, but by how much is anyboy's guess.


i'm upper middle class.

Working Class

this is me sure, aged 2 with Mammy.
thats me older brothers in the back Paudie and Pa.
Pa's just after robbin that toy car he's in and Paudie is the getaway man.

but you're going to be a lawyer $oon...

What's your reason for existence?
Do you believe in anything?
Or does your lifestyle contradict
The words you write for the songs you sing?
Sing -- Sing -- Sing -- Sing -- 1 -- 2 -- 3 -- Go!
Are you happy in your work
As you protest about the unemployed?
You don't wanna work but you need the money
The reality you can't avoid
But do you wanna work
Do you wanna work
Do you really wanna work for the money?
Do you wanna work
Do you wanna work
Do you really wanna work for the system?
Are you happy as you vote
To keep the parasites alive?
You don't want to vote but you think you should
They said it was right and you never asked why
But do you want to vote
Do you want to vote
Do you really want to vote for your conscience?
Do you want to vote
Do you want to vote
Do you really want to vote for the system?
Are you happy signing up
In the army just to get some pay?
Fighting a war without a cause
Can you manage to ignore your self-decay?
But do you want to fight
Do you want to fight
Do you really want to fight for your country?
Do you want to fight
Do you want to fight
Do you really want to fight for the system?
You're their reason for existence
They use you to finance their state
The words you shout with such conviction
Is it the only way to express your hate?

Who tells you that and why are you listening to such blatant lies?

Middle i guess, my partner and I earn quite a reasonable amount between us and live very comfortably. I come from working class background, was the first in my family to go to university and bust the opressive shackles of working for other people. Work for myself (freelance) don't have to work overly hard (delegation is wonderful) but had to work hard to get to the stage of not having to work so hard.

I'm officially working-class, poor church mice. However I'm always told that im extremely middle-class and sound like i'm 'posh'. People look at me and think I have it all and come from privilage. "What has that rich tosspot got to moan about". When in reality i'm about as poor as one can be. My house also looks like we have spent lots of money on decorators and stuff, but its all stuff I made with my mum, its all DIY. So actually my middle-classness is all just an accidental illusion. Im a working-class anti-hero...
