[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im a dark skinned asian minority and hold memberships in one of the three C clubs as well as a couple of the clubs in the city and another one. They are as diverse, open, and friendly as you can get. In fact, I often feel more comfortable and at home at my clubs than any other place because I know I will be treated fairly. The staff and other members are great and I have established many great relationships.

I think the problem with most people who oppose clubs or have issues with the membership is the same as in a class based society. Its just simple jealousy. That's all there is too it. People cannot stand that others can enjoy the fruits of success by providing luxury for one self or their family.

Let me site some examples of the same thought process of those who oppose private clubs:

1) I would never want to live in a big house because its a lot of work to keep it clean

2) I would not want to drive an expensive car because someone could crash into it or it might get keyed

3) $100 for a steak dinner at The Palm. Meat is meat.

The truth of the matter is that anyone in their right mind would love to belong to or go to a private club as a guest. Get over it. This society rewards people for their hard work, doing great in school, and going beyond the baseline. If their children benefit, then that's life.

And honestly, everyone who is showing anger towards club members needs just mind their own business and go on with their life.

I worked one full time and two part time jobs and went to college full time. I started my company in my early 20s and worked 80 hour weeks and still do. Im sure many private club members share my work ethic and my story. We join clubs to reward ourselves and to thank or families for tolerating our time away at work.[/quote]

I'm sorry, but not everyone wants to belong to a country club. My parents belong to a fantastic country club and it doesn't appeal to me at all. The food is okay and the pool is nice but if you aren't into golf or tennis what is the point? I do admit I use the gym when I'm visiting them. I will agree that a lot of people want more money...who wouldn't? I'd love to have enough money to join one of these clubs but if I HAD that much money, I'd spend it on other nice things, not a country club membership.

Country clubs just seem very old school to me. I'd much rather belong to a premiere fitness facility or something along those lines.[/quote]
