I don't know about most but I am! I am so privileged that we can give some of it away. And to prove it I have more free address labels than Andy Rooney. I have a home a great family I have more than enough food there are not bombs going off around me. I can move about freely.I have gotten e-mails from people in other parts of the world that make me cry 'cause there is nothing I can do to help them. Most people here in the states don't know how lucky we are!

Absolutely! Have you ever had an email from sub Sahara Africa, or say Rwanda? Even the poorest amongst my fellow North America's is living large comparatively. God, even when I was kicking stones down the hi way in my most darkest days people weren't trying to kill me! Well mostly that is, there were a few incidences; but still. We're pretty privileged to have this opportunity. Remember this if you will though, even when it's good it can all change. In this world you must be tough and ready to roll with it. Yahoo won't change that!

I'm from working class stock. I worked hard at school and got myself a good education, and from there a degree and a series of interesting, though not necessarily well paid, jobs. I've got a house with my husband which we work hard to pay for - sometimes we struggle to pay the bills. Does that make me privileged?

No. not at all . I,m very often very impressed with genuine and common sense values of many of the folk who take the trouble to offer their opinions and attempt to help others. From such a wide variety of people obviously from all walks of life.

'You don't have to be posh to be privileged' - quote from UK tv ad.
Interesting question - what do we mean by privileged? Enjoying the luxury of a computer and an internet connection; enjoying the time and opportuinity to take a stroll through 'Answers'- yes, I guess we are indeed privileged.

Absolutely. If you have access to a computer and internet access and the ability to afford it, then you are way more privileged that MOST people on the earth.

usually people who have internet in their homes & jobless enough to answer such questons(including me) do yahoo answers. So its not about privilege but the availability of internet that counts

privileged by the fact we are educated, have our own computers, Internet access with little or no restrictions? or an assumption that we are of a certain class?
