I wouldn't really consider Lennox British mainly b/c he fought in the Olympics for Canada and b/c I'm pretty sure he doesn't make the United Kingdom his permanent home.(correct if me I'm wrong) I kind of fine the sentiment that having regional pride and rooting for a fellow American/Texan/Brit etc as blue collar kind of insulting. First of all what about hard working people(blue collar) makes them close minded and ignorant(sheeples as you say)? You seem to have a bit of elitism about you. I'd advise you not to stereotype or underestimate the people who build our country by the sweat off their brow.
Nah I just happen to be from Texas and a blue collar background, and I'm running away from it as fast as I can

It's hard not to have this opinion when you're constantly surrounded by people don't even know why they believe what they believe, it's just how they were raised and it's their mindset doesn't question it for any reason (so yes sheeples). I can see having a bit of fun with it, but you literally can say the wrong thing about Texas football around the right people (which happends to be alot of people in this area) and they're ready for a confrentation. To me thats pathetic, and it's a standard on top of that.

So naturally when I see this same attitude torwards other things I tend to be vocal, no biggie. And after roofing for 3 years I can tell ya what the blue collar man does should be apreciated, but he's still ignorant. And when ya say you advise me not to say this or that, thats just another part of the narrow minded ignorance I speak of. Saying whats on your mind is important - and more than likely it offends people who aren't trying to understand whats being said
honestly man you sound like self righteous, arrogant bigot.
