You're 99% from developed world guys and yet, there should be enough amongst you who know how it feels to feel trapped between two worlds: abject poverty and opulence. In my case cretinism (this forum) and stratosphere (Wilmott). Sorry, this isn't a question of forum topic so I have to rephrase. Tell me your life stories dealing with cretins (with whom I can relate in my case) or opulent guys (of whom I only knew a few and they were all cretin parvenues).
Lemme start this contest: last time a neigbour of mine thought it's a good idea to show some of you guys to our (cretin) guys, one of you guys told me a story: he was running through a cornfield, very drunk but at the same time one of the cretins behind him with an axe. He thought like "jeez, is this a joke?!" but kept running. He's still alive to this day, unlike one guy after him who thought this was a joke. The cretin in the Russian village who did this is now behind bars but remember. This is not a joke.
Well I learned a new word (parvenue) today, so thanks for that! There's a decent group of smart folks here, although a couple have recently left. Use the cretins for entertainment, they're like a court jester.
