This post started 14 days ago & this is the first time I have visited it. Why??? Because I think (rightly or wrongly) that these 'Polls' are introduced just to try & give NALS a social standing in his own mind here which is certainly not richly deserved.
What a load of baloney & what CRASS assumptions the man makes@!!
A policeman does NOT have influence over me - the LAW does. As an (supposedly) upholder of the law, I generally secede to the policeman's request (note 'REQUEST' - never 'INSTRUCTION'), but where the Policeman is in error on the law, will 'influence' him ion to the correct interpretation of the law. Now who has the higher social standing? The one with the POWER or the one with the INFLUENCE? The one with the power ir the one with the (albeit slightly) higher intellect?
ME do as Robert & Dolores say???? Think again Sunshine - we go back YEARS & have argued many times & on many subjects! This does not relate solely to DR1 either as Dolores might recall!
If I do not agree with the general principles of what is being 'said', 'done' I move off elsewhere, so who has the greater power - them or ME?? AS the ONLY one who has direct control over MY actions & reactions, I am the one with the power to rejoin (under a new name & identity) or leave as is my want!!
I think we have all missed one salient point with this crass poll - it says 'In the area that you live'! In the area that I live I am possibly lower middle class in that there are very powerful (but not necessarily higher or better class) people all around me. In another less influential area I would probably have been seen as much more an 'Upper Class' type of guy. IF NALS is referring to the COUNTRY that I live in, my social standing is totally irrelevant in that I am hardly noticed in the greater picture of things & being 'Lower', 'Middle' or 'Upper' class has very little bearing (if any) upon the masses.
Please NALs = if you are going to put polls together to try & influence my view about others on this board, put a LOT more work into the preparatory stage. At the moment 95% or higher of the polls posted are so very poorly thought out & just reduce your social standing (& therefore POWER according to you) on this forum. I am now going to exercise MY power by going back to ignoring the polls section! ~ Grahame.
