If you're not part of the old school tie network, is that snobbery or just high standards?
If you refuse to use the local comprehensive or the local supermarket, is that snobbery, or just high standards?
If the parents in your school don't like a teacher because she has a tattoo is that snobbery or just high standards?
If you refuse to let your kids mix with people from the estate up the road, is that snobbery, or just high standards?

I watch JK sometimes feeling a bit bloody glad my life is nothing like some of those who are on there
Would that make me a snob with high standards?
If so....thank goodness for that  |

Don't know what that means.
"

Standards. You're allowed to have them. Looking down on those who choose to use them is snobbery. You're allowed to be a snob, you aren't allowed to make people feel ashamed of their personal choices.
"

Prejudice. A little bit of prejudice is normal, we're afraid of things we don't know because we need to be wary in case it wants to kill us.
"

Standards, snobbery, and prejudice if you don't know those kids. Looking out for your own is normal. Eventually there will come a time where your kids will have to choose their own friends anyway. They'll sneak about behind yur back to do it if you don't accept their choices.

Nothing wrong with having different standards, or being a snob, or being crass. Everyone is allowed to live their life as they choose, without harming others.
It's when you try and shame people for being themselves, or try to interfere in their lives to change them into what you approve of...that's what's wrong. |

Just because someone is rich or a professional, doesn't mean they have high standards. I'm from a working class background but had education education and more education drilled in to me from a very early age. Money can't buy class or intelligence. My other half is a teacher, his colleagues are so stuck up, smallminded and snobby, it beggars belief at times. I loathe snobbery. It's ignorance, pure and simple

Love this and agree 100%
I am a council house and comprehensive school kid made good and know lots of people with middle class upbringings who are complete shits and I would not trust them with my dog.
I loathe snobbery too - it is just another form of bullying and that makes me very angry

One of my regular partners had a very privileged upbringing. He had never been to a council estate when I met him. Never eaten fast food or from a street vendor. Not because he's a snob,just because of his circumstances. Most snobbish behaviour I've met is from people who have bettered themselves and then look down on the people they think they left behind |
