How we scramble to rise ourselves above others

If there was a way it would be a good suggestion.

However, in the absence of being able to ask - the fact that those with the least possessions give the most to others would suggest that they would prefer material poverty rather than emotional poverty.

i knew it was going to be funny stuff.

In Australia we have the indigenous Aborigine who has been subjugated by the white nations. Even here we have a hierachy - lowest = Aborigine followed by Asians - then eastern europeans, followed by white europeans. The old Australians are superior to the 'new' - remember that those of us from this country have the greatest number of ancestors amongst the population of old Australians!

I came onto this forum tonight feeling angry - angry with a realisation that we, as humans, are the pits!.

I agree with you - this forum makes me angry too, I've said it before, that some of the attitudes on here, and the things people come out with, are quite frankly, scary. Scary in the respect that some of my generation seem to be completely self absorbed and totally lack compassion. Its all 'take take take', but noone gives anything anymore. People are so obsessed with consumerism, meaning that human begins are looked upon merely as ecomonic units, for example 'that person on benefits is bleeding the country dry' or 'how irresponsible is that stupid young pauper girl getting pregnant which is going to cost ME money'. Yes, i can see people's concerns, but its no excuse to completely lack respect for other human beings.

Well they are not actually bottom. They are still top. you don't get white workers, but white landowners. They tend to be haves - not havenots. They are being killed by jealous mugabe zealots, not those of higher social status.
