Thank you very much uYkuSuz. I am sure this is the man to whom Kadir refers! :_D

Hmmm, class in Türkiye?? Unfortunately it happens, but we can't help it. It's not the fault of the educated and somehow economically "high class" people. It's just a result, but I don't think as a whole the Turks look upon another one. Turks are very emotional people and always feel very sorry and try to help when they see someone in a bad condition.
However, you can observe the kind of snobbery that you see in the nurses in women towards some men, but according to me it's because women encounter a lot of harassment from especially uneducated and "low classed" men. And I can imagine how many men harass especially those nurses, in Türkiye nurses are seen a bit like easy women. Turkish girls sometimes really have reason to be so snobbish towards men even tough sometimes it looks very rude.

I think the chance for snobbery in Türkiye is actually higher. The differences in income are much bigger in Türkiye than the ones in the UK. The difference between wealth and poorness, that is. Therefore snobbery from higher up on the lower classes is more likely, because there is more difference. Who whould be bothered to look down up on someone who may not wear designer shoes, but practically lives next door and pays the same rent?

And subconscious, yours wás a personal attack and also a rude reaction to Lyndie, which was totally unappropriate.

I also agree with Meltem about the educational part. We mustn't forget.. you cannot help it if you can't afford education or if you just don't have the capacity to study more. Nobody can be blamed for that. But there's one thing we easily forget.. education puts you in a certain environment which really affects your behavior. So even if you are interested in culture and have good ideas about life, the chance that you will be in the 'group' of 'uneducated ones' and have a, partly, similar lifestyle, is likely. This ofcourse doesn't count for everybody, don't get me wrong. I don't want to be seen as someone who thinks very black white, because i don't. But in a discussion like this (about the turkish man, not the whole snobbery-iraq-ware-i-have-no-more-arguements-so-i-made-this-up-discussion), it is impossible not to speak a little bit in general. Because yes. I am high educated, following the highest education possible, getting quite good grades, very likely to also earn my master degree within time. But i don't know life half as much as those men in Türkiye.
