Grew up in an elite family. What's the little fork and the big fork for? What is the average amount of silver utensils used at a formal dinner? Answer those questions quickly and we know what you really are. Tell what the three glass are for as well at dinner. |

| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 21795357 11/13/2012 10:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The term 'elite,' as I am using and understanding it, refers to a altered stance in understanding people. The people who trained this stance into me were the ones who directly informed us (a small room of about 8, in a university) that at this point forward, when we heard 'intellectual elite,' to understand that we were being addressed. At that point, 'elite' did not refer to any form of wealth or power. Those who knew what they were doing, though, knew what their skills were worth, and priced themselves accordingly. For them, money quickly took on different definitions. The majority of the issues presented by the media in red-blue politics, for instance, become quite irrelevant (the few that matter are largely about taxes, and wouldn't be an unbearable burden). We aren't hungry, we have been varyingly on and off health insurance, but have never suffered for that. Gas prices are a number, but not one that has an impact on our stomachs. Yes, I do the stuffy diners. It seems eating with fork in the left hand is really going out the door here, where people grab confusedly at their opposite-handed utensils and use their forks like shovels. Three glasses is nice, but they go up to like five or six, so they can switch between like beef to a fish to a cheese or something, otherwise you'd have the wrong pairing somewhere in there. ... The information that I value, personally, above anything else is practical. I have a cell phone with contacts, I have a credit card, but if I'm crashed in a gully, stuck in a storm, etc., they don't do a whole lot. Many I know really forget these skills, and often suffer for it. Knowing how to make mechanical and electrical things work for you, knowing how to bend the rules of those (and other systems) to get what you need, these are valuable to me. The answer that comes from my education on the subject is: corruption is more blatant than you can possibly believe. (but you already knew that :/ ) |

Also, if you were concerned about climate change, would you sell your inland house, one of the largest HVAC burdens in north america, to buy a house on the California coast subject to melting polar caps and sea rise? Or would you simply keep both homes, a pet carrier, and a cat? ![]() |

Cold air sinks because it is, in bulk, less dense than hot air, or hot moisture laden air, which is forced upward until it finds air with similar properties. Thus, I have no way to understand your question about clothes, you could rephrase perhaps? As for where to live: - NOT California - NOT Along the coast - NOT Airconditioned (I hate the things, the dry air and shifting temperatures fuck up my sinuses) |
