I think white collar people should work harder on making robots to replace the blue collar, then have them sent to concentration camps to eliminate the their uselessness to society.

This is full of fail. You do understand that even C-people will often be on the floor, right? You can't always tell the CFO from a mechanic on some manufacturing floors. And I can guarantee you that neither will be able to drop what they're doing to take a phone call.
Someone that sits in an office all day has a greater luxury of being in proximity to a phone. So, I think you've confused things greatly and tried to draw some parallels to the social classes.

the capacity to have a phone call forwarded to your desk =! importance or respect. likewise, not always being near a phone or able to drop what you're working on to answer one doesn't mean your unimportant/not respected

How is not getting someone to take a phone call regarding their kid missing school not important? It's not the person working not being able to take the call, obviously they do want to take it, it's the fact that their company or wherever they are working doesn't even inform them of it, nor do they allow any time allowance for important personal matters.
I am still amused by the amount of people not understanding

Who said it's not important? Anything having to do with your child is important. It's most definitely not an emergency though.
How did you determine that? From the receptionist saying they can't take the call?
That sounds like a far-reaching assumption to me.

Oh, we understand, we just don't agree with you.
That's pertinent information. Unless I'm blind, I didn't see you mention that in an earlier post.

I worked as a receptionist and secretary off and on throughout college... I was probably the most unimportant person in the company but believe me, I could take every phone call that came my way.
on the other hand, the CTO of my company is in my office today... he's wandering around and only has his blackberry with him.
if someone called the main office looking for him and it wasn't an emergency, the receptionist would probably just transfer the caller to voice mail because a non-emergency call isn't worth having someone drop everything they're doing to track down where a single person is inside of a giant data center facility.
