I go for a run everyday. i live on a council estate which as most has it's share of scum. they look at you as if you're mad for keeping fit and comments like "he must be mad", "bloody stupid" and "don't know how you can do that" are common, as they sweat home(in tracksuits, belly tops with fat guts and beer bellies), carrier bags full of farm foods economy burgers, sausage rolls and chips. their attitude is fine by me and long may they continue to think that exercise is alien and kill themselves with junk food, fags and booze, thus lessening the tax burden on the workers

We need a cull of these second rate humans before our race is destined for doom.
The talkshow culture, neds and benefits are to blame - I'd ban em all then see people forced into action.
KEEP ON RUNNING!!!

Generally it hard to just "sound" like you have a superiority complex, it is transferred in action too. Perhaps they are picking up on the fact that you think yourself so much better than them and cannot resist taking the pish. I personally, find it hard to believe some people can assume themselves such superior beings when they live with and spout such prejudical views.

They are ignorant human beings who haven't had the benefit of your education or any incentive to better themselves. But they are not scum. Few people deserve to be called that.
jsbr: for your benefit. Council estates: I think in America they are called housing projects.

Probably because you're trying to better yourself and obviously from the descriptions you've given, they're not giving it a second thought. You're (hopefully) investing in the future, whereas they're living for the now. There are similar problems with people who save money and those that spend everything they earn each week/month.

That's not going to lower the taxes. You'll be paying for their hospital bills when they have lung cancer or heart disease. And I don't see anything wrong with them looking at you, especially when you're looking at them. If you're looking for a response, you'll get it. Keep to yourself and wear heaphones if it bothers you that much. Performance generally improves with music so...Scum, such a scummy word.

Maybe the "scum" are intersted in what you're doing and would benefit from some kind words and advice on where they are going wrong. Be kind to them.

They probably think it's strange that you're running through a council estate without a car stereo under your arm.
