[Ricter]

Quote from wjk:

That's the thing about inequality and a stratified society, the wealthier generally seem to be better qualified than the poorer.

Sure, the jungle was so easy to survive in before PC. That's why they called it the jungle.

PC doesn't really exist in the jungle. In some ways, that makes the jungle refreshing, providing one is not at the bottom of the food chain.
