[quote]I beg to differ. -Social influence[/quote] Really? All my friends like me for my [i]personality and like ability[/i], not to bum off money. [quote] -Country Clubs[/quote] I live in England, I live in the country. I don't want to play golf and drink whiskey with a load of people who think they are the best people ever. [quote] -Donations increase importance substantially for booster clubs, etc.[/quote] What does this mean?

Yep, I was totally referring to if people like you. Ok, you do realize you have to be let into a country club, right? It's not as if you can walk in and say "lol, I want to be a part of this country club." Oh, booster clubs are for sports within schools. It was just a minor example of what I'm referring to. Why do you think people that donate insane amounts of money to any program get treated specially and are shown a lot of respect?

Onto last point, they get respected. The difference is, they don't start demeaning worse off people in public like you basically making fun of people.

I've heard of numerous people getting shot down from Frats and clubs solely off of how much money they had.
