Wall Street protesters: We're in for the long haul

[Admiral Yi]

Priggishness, vulgarity and social climbing.

Seems we use the word virture differently, you and I.

[Valmy]

Bourgeois virtues are sobriety, thrift, and the accumulation of wealth.

Priggishness, vulgarity and social climbing.

Those are their virtues?  I would hate to see their list of faults.

Yeah, I don't see it being a positive term.

You also asked me how I could make claims to be. Between those two instances, it sounded like you were saying it would be a step up for both of us.

Do you not have a definition?

You could not claim to be for all the reasons JR has already mentioned.  No value judgment - simply fact.  That does not phase you because you deny you have any wish to be cultured enough to have such a designation.  Marti on the other hand posts in such a way that indicates a craving for such recognition.

Its neither positive nor negative.  It simply is.

Exactly

Okay - remind me never to ask you for a definition again.

Although, perhaps the three of you have a positive view of the bourgeois.

Not particularly. It is however kind of funny that you - otherwise blatant in your bourgeois affectations - apparently do not.

Really? Why would anyone ever be positive about a negative label that they often play into?  Usually it is hipsters who complain about hipsters.

It's funny because in your eternal quest to project that you have attained your social aspirations (being above the lower classes) you are exactly embodying the negative qualities of the bourgeoisie (as per Sheilbh) without achieving any of that class's redeeming qualities.

That you reject the label is just another layer of irony, showing how apparently insecure you are in your affectations of class and taste.

[Ideologue]

I take back what I said about Jacob being nice the other day.

[DGuller]

I take back what I said about Jacob being nice the other day.

I don't take back what I said about Jacob in response to that. 

[crazy canuck]

Sure, when he goes at it with me he is nice.  When he eviscerates Garbon all of a sudden he isnt nice.

[Eddie Teach]

Usually it is hipsters who complain about hipsters.

Take that, Ed!
