You are confusing the purpose of religion with its effect.The material prosperity of a nation is not an abiding possession; the deeds of its people are.

Options are better, but we need:
Upper class - land
Upper class - trade
Working class - respectable
Working class - not respectable
Lumpen proletariat
Under class.The material prosperity of a nation is not an abiding possession; the deeds of its people are.

So if your family's upper class with land AND trade, you work, and you don't have any cash to spend, does that make you 'lumpen upper working class'?Originally posted by speling bee View PostOptions are better, but we need:

Upper class land.

That's nice to know. While being a penniless permie I can eat hare shot on Lady Tester's land, drink burgundy inherited from my lot, listen to Mahler's 8th (please do listen to that some day) on vinyl inherited from grandfather, drive an ageing luxury car and feel thoroughly superior while pondering the challenge of paying for the next tank of petrol and keeping myself warm in a 40 year old tweed jacket. Could be worse I suppose.Originally posted by speling bee View PostUpper class land.

You don't half talk bollix a lot of the time.
No, I take that back... all of the time. But this one was a particular gem. Don't ever change.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
