I love humor, SM. I really do. I'm not trying to be a killjoy.

But I think my problem here is privilege. The comments in this thread seemed laden with socioeconomic privilege. I'm not going to try to apply the terms of racism to classism, but it seems to me that when someone who has lots of options makes fun of someone who doesn't, that's lame.

The very best thing about this board is that you can say this without getting flamed.
