Hi.
I'm new here, You can call me Misu or generally whatever terrible names you may choose to call me. I don't mind, I'm fond of nicknames.

Anyway, I'd like to speak my little mind about something that seems to bother me, The fact that as Gaia user's get richer they generally mistreat those who don't bother taking the time to, A. Purchase Gold or B. Farm Gold constantly and/or Beg constantly.

It seems the more gold that fills their inventories, The more intelligence declines. People tend to find the need to Stereotype themselves in such a fashion.
(This is not in all cases but tends to be a common sight.)

I proved this point myself, I used to be rather wealthy on this site but decided, "Why do I spend so much time doing this? Who cares." So, I gave away all of my gold to friends. And now dress as the humble messenger you see before you now. This post may arise some complaints and if it does, Please take it down off of the forum. I do not come to pick fights, I come to point out facts.

Perhaps later I'll show the "Stereotypical Avatars" project I've been working on. It's a bit of an interesting thing.

I'm a little put on edge by people who advertise their humility. It's a bit of a contradiction. You should avoid doing it in the future. Not commenting on anything else at the moment.

I like to view myself on gaia as semi-rich... to the extent that my avi's worth millions, but I never have more than 200k before I give it away or spend it on something... and I don't act like I'm better than ANYONE (at least due to money/coins)... and my best friend in rl is poor (or I believe he's poor, for he said he's poor a couple times... though I honestly believe he's more lower-middle class) and I don't like people that would look down on another for what they do or do not have.

... but on gaia, I honestly can say... I do not see very much of rich hating on the poor (unless it's an annoying beggar that just like makes a thread called "Monney pwease!" and has only a smiley in their thread first post)... but the CL thing... most definitely happens, which is annoying as hell at times.

I hate begging, regardless of who people are, or what their avi looks like.

Makes me die a little inside.
Also, people who friend me thinking that just by being my friend entitles
them to my riches... mostly because I'm a packrat and rarely let anything (I
like) go...

I agree with this statement fully... they are annoying pests.

When someone wears pajama bottoms to school, it's more trashy than anything, in my opinion. It's almost like saying, "Bathing is just for the rich. I'm going to show how unclassist I am by ceasing to observe any practice of hygiene."


TIL wearing pajamas in public means you're a slob and trying to be rebellious.

If I'm just running to the store and feeling kind of crappy, I'll stay in my PJs, because they're comfortable, if I A)don't have any clean dresses, B) it's too cold to wear a dress, or C) I have clean dresses and it's warm enough to wear them, but I hadn't shaved that morning. If someone is going to look down their noses at me because I'm wearing my cute, comfy pajamas, ******** 'em. I mean, I'm not going out wearing worn-through, mustard stained clothes, I'm wearing clean, comfortable clothes that just happen to be expected by society to be worn while sleeping.

I guess people have different standards of what looks slovenly. If I didn't shave that morning, I'm not going to wear something that shows off my stubble. I still throw on a bit of makeup before leaving the house, even if it's just a quick trip to the store. But pajamas? Pajamas are fine if you're not in a situation where you need to dress to impress.

Next I'll be hearing that ponytails are trashy. rolleyes

Edit: When I was in high school (I'm 22 now, I graduated 5 years ago) and all the way back to middle school, the people that wore pajamas to school were, in almost every case, female, and were the ones carrying around designer purses and wearing shoes that cost hundreds of dollars.
