The situation is getting out of control.
Heres a example of Both in 1 human being.
One rich person marries a second (or third :P) rich person they become more powerful ... They decide to have children.After a few years ,whilst in puberty they start thinking on their own way.
Now as rich kids have EVERYTHING they can imagine, they are thinking "Meh,why would i study? Its not like i need Knowledge for anything!"
And because the parents don`t care about how much money they spend , they spoil their child.
I really NEVER met a rich child that knows ANY comprehensive words. I`m not saying i know everything , but these children know NOTHING!!


And the worst part is they think only about them selfs!
I know 5 rich children All-together between the ages of 14-18 that doesn`t know to look at a clock (tell whats the time)
So they have to use Digital watches!

Discus this subject.

Welcome to the world buddy :P

The thing with the watches is really sad. But why would they care? They could even afford a personal watch reader X)

So now we're being classist? Potentially the richest family I know has turned out six fantastic kids, all smart, all funny, and they all try.

I really NEVER met a rich child that knows ANY comprehensive words. I`m not saying i know everything , but these children know NOTHING!!


And you're post didn't contain fantastic grammar either, listen you're making generalizations that you cannot make from your experiences and you're being hypocritical.

I'm sure this has more to do with the fact that our current society tends to have more digital than analog clocks, if it has anything to do with their wealth it's because they have more digital than analog clocks at there home not because they are lazy.

This is the way the world works.


Stage1: a hardworker rises up the ladder and made himself rich.

Stage2: he get's married to a rich women.

Stage3: They have kids.

Stage4:Since the dad had a bad childhood he spoils his kids.

Stage5: The parents die and the kids being spoiled were absolutely clueless as to how the bussiness should be run and their fortune and bussiness are both ruined.

Stage6: the cycle Starts again with someone new.

So, simply because you're jealous of the upper class you have a problem with them?

Also holt I would love it if you could back that up with anything that even remotely resembles a scientific study.

I agree with everything Samy has said. I would also like to point out that you yourself do not strike me as an intelligent person. In fact you strike me as an ignorant imbecile. I know rich people who don't spoil their kids and the kids are some of the most caring people I know. So, I advise you to stop generalizing and am wondering why this isn't in the tavern.

Actually rich peoples parents make them study harder from what I've seen.
So this thread is stupid.

I don't think it matters if your rich or not it just matters if the parents care about you doing good in school.

Ps:I am being serious this time.

Depends if the money their parents have is from working hard for it or inherited.
Usually if they worked for it they want their children to work just as hard as they did.

You do realise that kind of attitude is evident in practically all children in modern generations? It's not a trait exclusive to richer people. That type of behaviour can only be changed by a large cultural influence, and these "overhauls" in the way people socialise, their attitudes takes years, if not decades.

And because the parents don`t care about how much money they spend , they spoil their child.


That happens a lot, not just in upper classes. Additionally, getting what you want does not, in all cases, make you completely brain-dead. I get what I want on most occasions, that doesn't mean I slack off at school or disregard the acquisition of knowledge.

I really NEVER met a rich child that knows ANY comprehensive words. I`m not saying i know everything , but these children know NOTHING!!


Firstly, as aforesaid by Samy, your post wasn't that eloquent and the grammar isn't stunning either. Also, it sounds like you have little experience with "richer kids" and are stereotyping them. Of the kids I've met, with parents loaded with cash, they're not child prodigies, but they can afford very good education in both academic and the arts aspects of the curriculum and don't simply fling pencils around the class room carelessly when in school-hours.

And the worst part is they think only about them selfs!

The word has pretty much completely turned digital.

"He doesn't use a sponge -- he uses a device called a washing machine! He probably can't use the sponge!"

Using this as an analogy, lots of people prefer using the washing machine over the sponge, because once you've learned how to operate it, it's much easier to get things done quickly and hassle-free.

Furthermore, we shouldn't presume just because a washing machine is being used that they cannot operate a sponge -- everyone can wipe a dish with a sponge, just like everyone, regardless of how much cash they're throwing into education, will learn how to use an analogue clock very early on. They simply decide digital is better.

I do not know any rich kids so I don't know if they are smart or not.
