Well spoken Englishman beaten by high pitched scott

This blog is dedicated to subjects of controversy and difference, i shall post daily raising new points.
My first entry starts as a result of watching the snooker world championship final at "The Crucible" in Sheffield last night. As a neutral to snooker and to both the players involved initially i was not bothered who would win, but slowly as i watched the match and heard the players involved speak, my support turned to Peter Ebdon, Ebdon, a well spoken, polite Englishman, whereas his opponent dott a high pitched, fast talking scott, immediately turned me against him.

This brought the question to mind, do people naturally attract to those who seem of a higher or equal class and look down and "go against" those who appear to be of a lower class, even though those people maybe of a higher education, more talented as dott proved to be by winning. Maybe this is the result of our ego's, loving ourselves, we love those who we see alike to ourselves.

This made me look at myself, am i just a judgemental fool who judges books by its cover, are well all judgemental fools, take a close look in the mirror and have a think about yourself, when you see that kid wearing tracksuit bottoms, do you see a "chav" or a "townie" or do you see a child that has the potential to do anything with his/her life, think to yourself, he may not actually be as bad as you think! You may not be as human/kind/accepting as you believe you are, I know im certainly not!

So it concludes that we need to get this inbuilt prejudice out of our heads, in many of us its buried deep in our brains, built up over the years. Break the mould and change yourself!
