Do you believe you're better than someone who grew up with more money than you? Like if that family had a maid while your family didn't, you had to clean the house while the other family didn't and spent their time on other things?

wth kind of question is that. If anyone answers yes, they should be summarily banned, their IP traced, and found dead a week later in a ditch with a bullet between their eyes.

I'm guessing the OP means that if 2 ppl grew up in different conditions but reach the same point in life today....

Like a poor guy working his butt off to get into college and become a EE grad while a rich guy gets tutors and gets into college and graduates.... Who considers themselves better?

Otherwise this thread is pointless. You can't compare apples and oranges

Wait until 2 years after the careers start and you will see which one is better.

The guy who had his hand held all the way, or the one who worked for it.

What does it even mean to be "better" than someone else? There are many ways to evaluate a person.

The only thing that sustains one through life is the consciousness of the immense inferiority of everybody else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You most certainly can.

If retreating is out of the question, you can burn bridges too.

"my e-penis is bigger than yours" seems to be the popular way of comparing things on this forum

Do I think I'm better than some ungrateful prick who had his mommy and daddy bailed out everytime I was on the brink of financial distruction, especially from my own gambling losses and situations of my own choosing, who just so happens to be rich?

Sure.

Otherwise, money doesn't count for sh!t. It's work ethic, drive, maturity, along with a host of other non-monetary factors.

Character is what is important. If someone grew up with money OR without and developed good character, that's all that matters.

Doesn't everyone know this?

Why do you call yourself the class idiot? You can't walk either? To bad you can type.
