15.  I choose not to prejudge people based on factors over which
they have no control - regardless of how many handkerchiefs they can afford.

Choosing to dislike "rich kids" is no more logical than choosing to dislike "poor kids," "black kids," "gay kids" or "Arab kids."

You can always find an overgeneralization to justify your hatred if you want to (see freerepublic.com for examples). Doesn't make prejudging people any more logical, intelligent or moral.


It's a sad, sad, story when a mother will teacher her daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger. "Not Ready to Make Nice" Dixie Chicks
