People who drive foreign cars may be foreigners. Therefore they may not be aware of the crosswalk rule. In the UK the driver has right of way and NOT the pedestrian.

Logic of the entire study is chock full of flaws.

Leasing a foreign car does NOT mean I have any wealth. That supposition is in error. Only that I budget poorly.

To jump to the conclusion that people who drive foreign cars are versed with the laws and/or wealthy is very poor study design.

I stopped watching at this point in the video because my time is worth much more than what was being offered.

Btw Hello

How is that being entitled? They're are rules to waiting in line. If you're not IN line then you're not waiting...if just happened to walk up when the person who used to be waiting isn't there anymore then you're not line jumping either. A smart person with a cart full of stuff, with a bunch of people already in line behind them, will wait til they start getting rung up and then say, "Oh I forgot something keep ringing up I'll be right back." OR if there's no, or not much of, a line behind them, they just go get what they need and get back into the line which is obviously going to be short anyway..big deal. It's your problem you forgot something not the person's who comes up behind you. I really don't get the 'entitled' aspect of this. (And that sounds a lot like "priviledged" a term I abhor.)

You see? Your coming from a position of entitlement. So am I. What about the fact I had been standing in line for ten minutes while the other person just happened to walk up? Mind you: The person saw what I was doing and could easily see I was not abandoning the line. Since I waited I do feel like I ‘earned’ my spot, just saying...
It’s just natural behavior to view advantage as an entitlement. Otherwise early men would have been chasing down the eagles looking to return the field mice they may have dropped.

You stepped out of line....OUT of line, not in it anymore... personally I'll let you back in if it were me and I saw you jet out quickly for an item...but you can't be IN line and OUT of line at the same time.

LS, the person wasn’t in line to begin with.

If they are not OK with it they have no social etiquette. I for one would have no problem letting someone move two paces to grab something from a display while waiting behind them. Hopefully most people (and that is my experience) have the same outlook. Certainly no harm in looking over your shoulder and asking if its OK though. What would you do if they said no to your preemptive act of courtesy?

Agreed, people should earn what they get in life not be spoon fed. That being said millions of us are born with less of an opportunity compared to others. They become stigmatized as inferior whether that is a cultural, monetary or social stigmatization is irrelevant. They truly do have less opportunity. Do we help them and if so how? Equalization removes competition. It is not the answer. We are supposed to have equal rights but racial profiling is a huge problem as well and removes a persons rights. Is it fair that a murderer should get 5-10 while a person caught with a bag of weed gets life... It happens and it is wrong.

Even an environmental advocate as myself sees the flaws in Agenda 21.

You get the okay from the people behind you to step out of line to retrieve the item prior to stepping out. You don't assume they'll be okay with you leaving the line.

Very well said Mimi. Everyone's circumstance and thus view of the world is different. If I had stepped out of line and had that happen on a good day then maybe I would do nothing and just Shrug it off... On the other hand if it was a bad day maybe I would speak up. Each situation is its own circumstance and we each determine the outcome by reacting as we may or may not... After all that I do believe that many of the very wealthy do feel a sense of entitlement or have a superiority complex. We see it among athletes and Hollywood types all the time.

"fair equal portions of stolen porridge." OK That was truly funny stranger. LOL

Agreed.
We are all born innocent... It is the values we learn growing up in our social and cultural surrounding which have the most influence on a persons character. Yes we can all change and become different than we once were and money is one of those influences most capable of doing that.

How the experiment played out has nothing to do with the conclusions they came up with. Say I am in line at the grocery store and I’m standing there for ten minutes in a line that just isn’t moving. I turn my head, catching sight of an item that is just five feet from where I am standing. I take a step or two to retrieve the item and turn back to my place in line. At the same time, another customer has stepped into my spot. Now, for half-a-second this person clearly saw me standing in this line, envisioned I wouldn’t be returning to the line so doesn’t want to acknowledge I haven’t really left it. Both of us at that moment feel ‘entitled’. One of us coming from the point of view:”You snooze, you lose.”; the other person is coming from the point of view: "I spent time waiting in this line. I earned it”. Who is right? I’m using this example because we have all been through this and had that ‘private’ conversation with ourself about whether or not to say something to the person we feel has stolen our place in line.

Why didn’t they speak about the guy who didn’t win the game? Would he state he was expected to lose thereby he had fulfilled his obligation or would he had spoken about all the obstacles in his way keeping him from winning, as if he was “entitled to have chance to win?” I wonder how many trials with the one given less money actually won and felt entitled to do so. We will never know because a true scientific experiment of this nature should have been done by mathematicians in a game theory study, not in a social studies department while trying to find ways to fit a squared-pegged social behavior into a round-hole class structure.

Merry Christmas, btw. Rum-de-la-la

Secondhand Lions is a very good movie.

My favorite scene has to be when Robert Duvall gives the knife fighting lessons to the young thugs.

I forgot about secondhand lions. It is a good film. I am not familiar with greedy. will check them out. thanks

Verbally attacking you. Really? THAT was a verbal attack?? Me demanding to be the shoe? Did I hurt your feewings, Maph? Whatever, I'm still being the shoe.

Jose Ferrar it is-
nice and classic

I've tried....but she just keeps staring...I can FEEL it.

THAT'S where the study should have ended... they're both numbskulls for agreeing to play a game that starts out slanted. And everybody knows you roll dice to see who gets the highest number to go first...flipped a coin (eye roll)... good Jesus, these people are so desperate to be a part of SOMEthing even if it's a raunchy 'study'. I could gag.

Well...it IS Berkeley.

The "idea" stinks... and it's been discussed to death in here. It does NOT make anything fair or equal. And sheesh I don't think you have a sense of humor.
