Zamierzone i pozbawioną i ultranacjonalisty jako schematy jak wiadomej serii at all understand this animousity towards one another. This individual everyone seems to more or less direct their attention to does seem to have some form of deep rooted angst towards blue collar individuals, and even seem to have some form of superiority complex. At first. I myself did not agree with his overgeneralization of working class individuals, but once he mentioned that he was speaking a more broadened scope, and not speaking of any acceptions to the rule, I had to accept that some of what he is saying is true. I had intened to use myself as example, but I believe that I would fall into the exception to the rule category. I graduated from college with a 3 GPA, personal interests include a wide range of music, astronomy, physics, philosophy, and technology. I play the piano, the trumbone, and the guitar. I have traveled abroad and have interests japanese, native american, indian, and indian cultures. I also have interests nature, history, and geograghy. I am avid reader and am constantly seeking to expand knowledge. I also have a better than average understanding of physical fitness and nutrition and regularly excercise to keep myself good health. All of this, and I myself am only a blue collar worker. I am a diesel engineer and enjoy every day of physical occupation, not because I have to, but by choice. Also, there are these wonderfull inventions called tools that, when used correctly, alows me to do job a more efficient and less strenuous manner. The saying goes shop work smarter, not harder. Use the proper proceedures and equipment to do your job, and you won't be broken down by the age of 50. point? One does not have to be a white collar individual to live their life properly. I agree with that education is highly underated, but mental capacity and earning capability isn't all there is to life. It's about fullfillment. I enjoy working with hands just as much as I enjoy reading. I 't believe that makes me inferior person just because I chose to do physical labor. I am by no means wealthy, but family does't wish for anything I can not eventually provide either. You 't have to be a CEO of a multimillion dollar company and wear a suit every day of your life to actually enjoy life. There is more I could add to this, but as I stated earlier, I must be exception to the rule, or part of the minority of blue collar workers because I by no means fit into the generalization of blue collar workers that has been made this forum. Not to sound flippant, but I find 's 3 GPA, suspect. 's a -called ‘academic', and yet he doesn't seem to have decided if it's acception or exception to the rule, as he's used both spellings. ‘Wonderful' has one l, not two, ‘underrated' has two r's, not one, etc.., Persons with high GPA's do not tend to commit these grade school errors.. Anyway, I'm not sure why people try to relate their personal story. As I've said over and over and Over, we are speaking about the MASSES. criticisms 't come from pulling one specific person and then judging the blue collar culture on this person. That's not sensible. I'm speaking of the general tendencies of the culture. Accordingly, I 't care if once you knew a friend who put a quarter a slot machine and won thousands. It has NO BEARING on the fact that gambling General is a game. Do you understand where I'm going? Anecdotes do absolutely NOTHING but waste bytes on a web even your personal example, a white collar person STILL enjoy significant benefits above the blue collar. While still extant, things like vulgarity, small-minded emotionally based hatred and bitterness, are truncated amongst the white collar. blue collar persons have a growling, piss-poor attitude because their life has little for meaningful progress. On the exterior, their actions are always ‘take charge!', and they try to come across as having everything life already ‘figured out'. But internally however, it shocks them that their personal philosophies have left them demoralized and defeated If you have a white collar heart, PLEASE thrust yourself into associating with white collar persons. If you 't believe there are meaningful differences, go to a supermarket a blue collar neighborhood and juxtapose it to one a white collar neighborhood- do some people watching. Go to say, a Whole Foods Market a white collar neighborhood. Notice how well-mannered and classy the customers are. On the other hand, go to a supermarket a blue collar neighborhood.. Watch how blue collar socialize: how loud and disruptive they are even about things that have nothing to do with
