Elistist people really get my goat.

Just seen a post basically slagging off anyone on minimum wage and the person called them dregs of society....
Well just NO without people doing the # jobs where do you think society will be?. Tell you what anyone who has an elitist attitude towards these jobs and the people who do them are welcome to come and do a days work at my place and after they can attempted to call me a dreg of society.
We are all cogs in the wheel and not everyone can go to university and not everyone can be a manager (not enough manager jobs for one durr) and work their way up there just isn't the jobs.
Tyler Durden was right you elitist pricks should remember his message.



Just gets me goat up when I hear or see elitism, you can bet many of these elitists have not been hungry or worried about bills so the next person I hear going off on an ignorant rant about people on low income being dregs of society...I will write a very angry letter!.

You should throw a beating on them and get your goat back.
Check with Augustus Masonicus if you don't get your goat back, he usually has unfettered access to goats.

Greetings- A true "EListist" wouldn't even bother getting on ATS™. The apologists You read are the same who argue about the 1% thinking they are a part of the 1%.

It is akin to an argument about a politician. In most cases, the 2 combatants have more in common with each other than the politician they're arguing about...

To donktheclown: Judge Smails said that... I added the video link a few threads ago... Which of course I'll add here:

I think this is another case of cultural slang speech. Just to point out I don't actually own a goat .

a reply to: boymonkey74

This sounds like it should be directed to arrogant people. I don't think that most of the people you are referring to are elitist because frankly most of us aren't in that < 1%.

Nah, we use that expression on this side of the pond too. I was just being a simpleton... I am good at that, anyway.

You're right, the elite don't give a crap about what you think, you're not one of them.

Fight club scene was a good choice. Better choice is the ending. Because control freak narcissists will never be convinced of anything to change their system of rule. Its their system, they rule it.

I hope you get your goat back.

If salaries and incomes were based on performance, Hollywood would become a Dystopian nightmare.TMZ would be the first to go as that are the most pointless and defenseless as they couldn't hide behind the ambulance chasers as they were already mowed down by careless drivers, and the Kardashians would seek asylum only to be refused by customs because their vanity and excessive egos are deemed illicit goods.

When I hear the sort of talk you speak of, my one mental fortress against its stupidity is the knowledge that my ancestors fought world wars, mined coal, built bridges, and carried arms in defence of their chieftains if you go far enough back. Without people like us, even the thin pretence of civilisation we "enjoy" today would be impossible. Without people like us, we would have no sewerage system to carry our waste away, and by so doing prevent illness from running through our lands like wildfire. Without people like us, we would have no roads connecting our cities together, allowing for faster trade and commerce between communities. Without people like us, there would be no Britain at all, and that gives me hope and strength, when the idiocy of entitlement rears its head to erode my reserves.

You are a wordsmith sir!.

a reply to: TrueBrit

I didn't know you were an ancient Roman Brit.

Yes my goat has also been taken by these jerk offs.


Similar to those who don't think burger flippers deserve a higher wage for feeding them when they're in need of fast food...


They assume no work is actually needed but if asked to stand in a boiling hot kitchen cooking all day they'd also be asking for a higher pay pack.


Elitist is right...

& TrueBrit put it perfectly, society wouldn't exist without them.


edit: burger flippers is just one example of millions.

This pretty much sums up my attitude:

I forget where I first heard this, but I've carried it with me for what seems like forever. "Never ask someone to do something that you, yourself haven't done before or wouldn't be willing to do."
