Some people may disagree on that point of the UK still being one of the richest countries on the planet.

Some people think the Etihad is half full on match days and no way is City's income anywhere near as big as Uniteds.

Do you think people who want to polish their halos in public are as bad as people that use derogatory terminology?

Just wondering where it ranks on the scale of society crumbling.

The former is definitely worse than the latter.
