I was born into the middle class, my dad was an engineer with the state and my mother was a highschool teacher. I think they've graduated into upper middle class seeing how my mom started rising in the ranks as a social servant and now has a pretty hoighty toighty job.
Me, however, I'm underclass 9 months out of the year, being a student who's sponsored fully by the Norwegian government, and lower working class 3 months out of the year when I work as unskilled labour. I do allright.

I don't think you're being rude, but it's highly improbable that people from working class homes aren't using computers. Chances are higher that they simply don't frequent gamer-community websites like The Escapist. I'm not saying that kids from working class homes don't play videogames, but they may not have as much free time to obsess over it as people from middle class and upper middle class homes.bushwhacker2k said:

Yes thats what I ment and yet again my disability to communicate my ideas properly strikes again.
Yeah, I didn't quite mean they don't have computer or don't have access, I meant because they weren't using computers ATM because they were busy doing other things. I would be surprised if kids didn't play video games at all, even in lower class households. (I'm talking about America, I can't speak for other places)Stainless said:

I wouldn't say I 'where' born into any social class. ;-)
On a more serious note, I was born to parents who are both working class, with working class incomes, but we live a middle-class life: own our own home in the country, a large garden, et cetera, et cetera.

In between upper middle class and middle class maybe? My dad worked in the Royal Opera House in London and we owned a house there, I'm pretty sure we had a lot of money.
Born into the Lower middle class, but at 12, moved up to middle class when my dad became a consultant for his own company working on the rigs.
Born to the underclass i suppose as my mother raised us by herself and relied on benefits and childminding for income, our fatehr was a painter decorater but lived elsewhere but we saw him evert weekend and im fairly sure he threw some moneis our way. I am middle class now as mum got a teaching degree and is in full time work and she married a full time teacher.
Did you really need to remind me that I went from potentially living in the family mansion to having to worry about student loans...
But, you know, I'm still me, dispite the fact that so much of the wealth was taken by a man who had my grandmother change her will when she had cancer in her brain, and then my father literally going through millions of dollars, selling the family farm...
And I'm almost certain he sold my great grandmother's ring...
You know what? Screw this angst-ing. I'm going to go work on my portfolio for grad school. The future's more important!
