I counted 22, but expect that it'll be among the lower socres within my group of friends. Those that are married get a few instantly, and those living in Europe will get a few too.
These are retarded. What if you have some of these things because you worked for them? What if you were forced to have some of them (eg. being an only child)?
“a multi-speed bike” ooh the height of luxury :)
19 for me.
Hale, perhaps it should read “Do you think you are better than other people?”
I scored 29 and I’m definately up myself.
36 and that just the do you have section :(
this shit is depressing, im not a snob nor have i been given anythng ever.
Just 14 for me! *Phew!* Though I must say I had been to New York 4 times before I first went to the Statue of Liberty…
I’m not a racist, but jeezus f*cking sepos.
“do you have a passport” “have you traveled out of the country” = in most normal developed nations, these things make you normal, unsheltered and NOT SPOILT.
“private medical insurance” = sensible.
Sorry to enter the forum of your blog with guns blazing, I only stumbled across it today, hi!
Dea
P.S. In case anyone was wondering I got 18.
Actually, having re-read the original, it now claims you need 40+ to be spoilt. I think somewhere around 30 would be right though.
I scored 20 … and (at least as a kid), I was more spoilt than most people I know! ;) Go figure.
