For anyone who is interested.

very interesting

That is a great analysis and to think that all these years, I have been duped into believing the Class Bashing Propaganda of Marxist Hollywood.

[cyborg]

I think the truth is somewhere in between. Old British society was extremely classist but people aren't the same in the midst of a tragedy.

Paragraphs are a tool of the bourgeois oppressors!

class warfare

[PioneerDrive]

Sorry about the paragraphs. It's a lot easier to read if you follow the link.

Thanks... I've always felt Cameron was a bit over the top when showing the wealthy as evil. (They must have voted Republican.) Such rubish.

I have yet to see Titanic, and now have every reason not to.

I think the big paragraphs got better treatment than the smaller paragraphs.

I've had a copy of it since it came out on VHS,

never seen it.

Yes. . .but being a person of high class the British man would not enter the boats and instead, adhere to the women and children edict. To scurry on-board would have been viewed as a boorish act, the actions of a coward, worthy of scorn.

No doubt some wouldn't mind that shame, but more than many did mind and acted as gentlemen should. . .they acted with class.

Not arguing, just making a comment.

I would believe that there were good and bad among all passenger classes on the Titanic.

[cyborg]

I didn't take it as such :-)

The best part is watching Leonardo drift into the fridged depths.

Cheers.

People in our post socialist world seem to have forgotten that unlike many of the dirt poor, the Old Money (Especially Britain) had extremely high standards of personal conduct. Standards that were held above life itself.

Now, "Old Money" refers to Ted Kennedy and John Kerry. Proving, money alone can't by class...but it does buy a case of the clap.

Bwahahahaha. . .and now I have to clean coke off my keyboard, thank you very much.

Another point on the old upper class, they were raised from birth to be leaders. Effective Leaders. For an military that sold commissions, the Brits had some amazing officers.

Good leadership demands character. Something funny happened on the way to Chappaquiddick.
