| Message | I dunno RPC, are you? Yes, because private schools are so segregated. Ever been to one, or have you just been a leach off the system your whole life? Don't answer that, we already know the answer. |

| Message | *sigh* CTC, take that silver spoon out of your mouth and you might start talking sense. Private schools cost money. Not everyone has enough money. Therefore private schools are segregated by income. In some circumstances they are also segregated by class. Sometimes they are also segregated by gender. This is not a controversial point. People are segregated by such things as age, income and gender everyday of their lives. It is not a difficult concept to grasp. So, I suppose the answer is yes. You are that dumb - and you're also an utter knob for suggesting that anyone who hasn't attended a private school is somehow a leech (not leach, evidently they didn't do much for you in the spelling department). So no. My mummy and daddy didn't pay for me to go to some overpriced and over-rated snobfest. |
