Quote from Cygnus Atratus:
Being British I feel you cannot call your self Upper Middle Class without me testing you first my dear chap !!! What makes you think you are upper middle class ?
Do you have bespoke clothing ?
Does your silver cutlery include fish forks ?
Do you use duvets or blankets ?
How do you hold a red wine glass ?
What do you traditionally serve poached quails eggs with ?
How many buttons are on the blazer of the private members club you belong to ?
Which fencing style do you enjoy and whats your weapon of choice ?
Is you winter coat brand new and off the Milano catwalk or its from a small rural tailor ?
Did you buy your wallet or its your grandfather's ?
What did you read at University ?

Quote from Ribs:
how wonderful, I get to answer all these
I was what you British call SCUM of Europe
not my choosing, I was born into it, and then had war of 1993
survived and came to North America, land of dreams
I took few years to solve few of my problems, mental that is, things called anxiety problems etc
learned to trade, and became FINANCIALLY upper middle class
you see here, we do have WASPS and things like that
but mainly we only concern ourselves directly with amount of money available
and truly ironic thing is that few of neighbours are pushing their daughters on me
because they realize just how big I will get

Quote from Banff01:
Ribs, the society will always push you not to steal. You will be called the BAD PERSON. When the financial companies steal billions from the population, it's not even called stealing.
Nevertheless, at the end it comes down to your conscience. You created this thread because deep down you feel guilty about doing it. If you feel guilty it affects your life in other areas so in my opinion the final price that you are paying is not worth it. Think about it - one old DVD from the local library that other poor people who don't have the resources rely on to get their entertainment and education!
Make no mistake about it: if others steal, it does not mean that it's the right thing to do. The society needs to strive to be better than this because at the end it's better for everyone.
