Silver Spoons Dig Graves For The Poor

I've always failed to understand the merit of calling menus. For example, if you ring up a company and you get an automated menu saying "press 1 for blah, press 2 for blah" etc, how do they know what you want? It comes down to characterisation of your matter! For example, I just called up an agency about a billing matter under a certain class of service. They talked about the service (option 2), but didn't talk about billing! Does that fall under "other inquiries" or is that meant to be classed as part of the service? Weird system I tell you.

I carry a certain chip on my shoulder relating to wealth and class. Growing up right in the middle of middle class, you don't get what you want most of the time, and you certainly don't have access to the best education or the 'right' people. Thus we undergo the perpetual cycle. People of the 'upper crust' require their egos to be constantly reinforced, and must always have someone else to belittle. Yes, I'm arrogant, but that's well deserved, because I was able to work to get what I wanted. Things in society don't really work on a merit based system (MOST of the time anyway, of course there are exceptions). People who went to uber expensive private schools really piss me off. I don't care what sort of person they are (and that probably says a lot about me), but I will assume that they are just incompetent idiots. Not really being borne out of jealousy, it is more the idea that just because of the school you went to, or how much money your parents had, or just who you know, opportunities will be afforded to you that will not be given to anyone else, even if they are better
suited. How fucked up is that? It really irked me when you would say that you wish you had gone to a better school, so that your life would be different now. I think you have a good life, and you should be happy. I hope you don't look to your fiancee as a point of inspiration, just because he went to one of the most famous schools in
the country. What does it mean anyway? Guys like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, they didn't finish university, they were good at what they did, and they were innovative and passionate. What more do you need?

I love how modern religion has tapered away from what it used to be. Religion should be a good basis to help the poor and needy and coming to understand others. However, it is used as a basis for war and hate, and on top of that, it appears that people who are considered devout are the ones who feel nothing but scorn for the poor and
unfortunate. Ah, the bad rich - as Gregg Alexander once said, God's flying in for your trial.

I don't understand this media obsession with Kate Middleton (No, I will not call her Catherine Middleton)! When she was just Prince William's girlfriend, most people hated her, and wrote her off as a cow. But as soon as the engagement occurred, suddenly the entire world's focus shifted and she became a darling. "It is not titles that honour men, but men that honour titles". Amen, and that's what's wrong with us as whole. People love her just because she is a princess. Pathetic.

Why are women and friends so stange? If women slag off their friends to you, you try to support them, but then they get angry at you for doing just that! Apparently if a woman and her friends are fighting, then you cannot also badmouth the friend, because apparently this reflects poorly on the woman complaining about her friend, in terms of the people she chooses to associate with! Goddamn, you are very complex, silly creatures, aren't you?

That's it for today, take care folks.

Joaquin out.
