true.
anyway now that is has resurfaced, like has been said class is more than money. it's about attitudes and pedigree. Take Mike Sonko, he has money, but some things he does doesn't speak 'upper' class.

Good people, what do be a reasonable criteria to guide where i belong in the social strata? Isnt this class thing based on perceptions, upbringing, wivu, taabu, stereotyping etc ?

I have been brought up in a very wanting environment and I came to realise that the reason why we had so many problems was lack of proper planning on the part of my parents who were both working. Sometimes I would lack always yet my parents had taken loans to build our house. Now I live hand to mouth, I don't think much about owning a house but I make sure my kids live a very comfortable life and get a good education. I can call myself rich coz I have managed to look beyond my situation and I don't blame others for it. Most of the poor seem to have a feeling that the rich and middle class are unfair but really, anyone can do anything. The fact that I earn 15k in a company where others earn 500k doesn't make me desperate but I look forward to a better life.

Every time I feel unappreciated I remember that I can at least buy O.B and I give my job my best. Mind you am now taking my masters degree.

@wendz, wouldn't call it class divide, but age divide. For instance - I will bash qw any day just because I feel he/she is younger than me. I will defend you, @mukiha, @njunge just because I feel you are my age-mates - regardless of the topics or standpoints.


From this mirror, I take this first opportunity to apologise to other members who I made condescending remarks to based on what I may have assumed were their fewer years.

Secondly, I am a free agent and dont rely on cliques or some social stratum to give bearing to my perspectives. On my part, I will not hesitate to call out upuzi from any member, or person, when it becomes necessary. Dont blame me if you toss to me ammunition to fire at you with.

By the way, if its any consolation, embarrassing the older & self righteous & maybe richer individuals is a most satisfying experience. I recommend people do it even once before they die.

I will not spare you, sister Wendz, and other members, if i think you deserve some truth. But so far, I have nothing but great love for the way you conduct yourself.
