[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is the striving bourgeoisie who desperately seeks to judge others on their breeding, or lack thereof.

The poor and aristocrats don't care. The former because they believe they will never arrive, and the latter because their ancestors already secured their place for them. The middle classes are the ones who face the strongest social pressures and the most incentive to signal their belonging to desired groups.

- European aristocrat. My family would never think to judge you or anyone else on such ridiculous details as personal habits, casual remarks or clothing choices, OP. They will always be courteous no matter what.

Why, oh why, is everyone "European" always so coy about the actual country?  Do you think we'll instantly know who you are if say you're Lithuanian or Danish or Greek or whatever?  It's really annoying, almost as if none of you know that Europe is a continent with 40+ countries[/quote]

I've never someone say "I'm from South America", it's generally always I'm Colombian, Peruvian, Brazilian.[/quote]

I mean, it also sounds weird to say "I'm from North America" instead of Canada, the US or Mexico.[/quote]

Yes, it's absurd.  Maybe we should start an OT thread and ask all of the "Europeans" that seem to permeate DCUM why they can never name the country!  :lol: [/quote]
