They are the ones that will sit and do nothing , expecting someone else to serve them. These are NEGATIVE in my opinion.


I am usually loathe to respond to these types of threads, however the above statement is a gross miscarriage of thinking in it's own right and is bitingly stereotyping beyond any reasonable doubt and rationalization.

There are plenty of "pampered" people in this world who have more then once proven that they too are just as capable and done some very heroic things...even against seemingly impossible odds.

Case in point and one shinning example that I know personally about. My SO grew up in fairly well to do family line in which they had everything and anything they ever wanted or needed. Yes she was pampered just like her other family members but they have never flaunted it nor have they ever sat back and did nothing and expected someone to serve them. Rather this family has made some very significant contributions to their community and society in many different areas...including the ultimate sacrifice in 3 major wars.

After university, My SO could of sat back on her pampered butt for the rest of her life and do nothing but whine, instead she has spent years of her life including NGO work overseas (where she is currently once again) to make other peoples lives better.

In every day life and especially whenever the chips are down, it is these positive thinking and "pampered" people whom I would rather surround myself with...
