[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was wondering what a umc activity.   **I never heard of an activity that a person did only to be with people wealthier.**

You’ e never heard of crew? Or sailing? Or any sort of polo?

Unless you are in a super wealthy area, these are not things any one does. Where I live, in my community on the west coast of 250,000 people in the county with a 24% poverty level and a lower-than-the-national-median-and-average-income? Absolutely no schools offer sailing (somewhat understandable as we’re not directly on the ocean) but there are plenty of bodies of water I have quite literally never in my entire life met anyone who did “crew” I don’t even think any schools (public or private) offer it here.

Even then, someone being interested and involved in crew is more realistic to me than someone interested and involved in Polo. Never met anyone involved in that either, or who’s ever even participated in that either.

So many of us on dcum live in completely different worlds. More extreme than any other site or forum I have been on. It’s quite honestly; both an eye opener as well as the perfect example of an elite sooo out of touch with the rest of us. Literally the kind of thing poked fun of on numerous sitcoms.

It’s reslly sad, honestly.

Crew is in public schools on the east coast.   There has to be appropriate water source but it’s not an expensive sport compared to hockey.  Water polo is also in some public schools and is becoming more popular. As long as there is a pool available water polo is inexpensive.   Sailing again depends on access to water.  There are a lot of public sailing programs but if you don’t own a boat it can be tough.

Polo on horses is abusive to the horses doing all the work.  It was created in a different time.  We know better now.  [/quote]
