chrisp65 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 This isn't meant to stir up trouble, it isn't meant to cause silly shouting matches. Though I can see how we might get there within three posts. It's hopefully going to provide interesting links to lots of thought provoking pieces on what it is to be you / me / us and how we all perceive the world around us. Anybody contributing must agree that they will join in a group hug once the topic has run it's course, as we are all one love. So, if you had to be one, but only one, of these things, which would it be. Which would give you the best life chances? WHITE? WEALTHY? MALE? My first guess, and I'm open to having my opinion changed, is that wealthy is the best option here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackpotForeigner Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 A white woman who has tried and failed to become wealthy might choose to be male, or black. A black man who has tried and failed to become wealthy might choose to be white, or a woman. A white man who has tried and failed to become wealthy might choose to be black, or a woman. A black woman who has tried and failed to become wealthy might choose to be male, or white. Etc. We all like to blame our failings on accidents of birth - it's much easier to accept than acknowledge our failings. (Although that's not to say that it isn't harder for women and black people for **** up social reasons) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will87 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Wealth. If you're wealthy to begin with you don't really have to worry about not being the other two. The other two would likely help if you're starting out with no wealth though, although I think/hope that's less of an advantage now than it was.

8pints Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I am 2 and a half of these already so I'm so close to the full set. So I guess I choose 'white' and then I have each one covered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Health is the Nr 1. Just look at Stephen Hawking. Surely Hawking proves the opposite?

villa4europe Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 im 2 of those things and my attempts to host a music award show for my demographic keeps on getting shot down, being wealthy might change all of that Music Of Wealthy Origins awards, got a ring to it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awol Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 If the choice is one of three then it's all about the money for life chances. Being white and male doesn't mean shit without a healthy bank balance.For quality of life it's clear better to be a chick, stay in bed all door and make full use of that god given leisure cente.
