Ridge "rolling his eyes" while Brooke was talking today

I don’t think the show perpetrates it. They have characters that are elitist but it doesn’t mean that the writers agree with those characters views. In fact Bell had stories centered around the homeless and those characters were clearly to be sympathetic and respected.

It’s just like how in Harry Potter you have the elitists who only like people who are “pure blood” witches and wizards. That doesn’t mean Rowling was saying we were supposed to agree with their views.

That's true, but I do think soaps and Lifetime movies focus on the rich as core characters because they are escapist fare. I don't care who likes whom on B&B. That's like saying just because I like aquamarines, everyone should like aquamarines. What I can't stand here are the back-and-forth arguments during which people refuse to allow another his or her point-of-view. We all like different things because we come from different backgrounds, cultures, ethnic backgrounds, etc. The last thing we should have to worry about is who likes whom on B&B. All the characters have their fans and all aren't liked by some. I find Paris enjoyable, but most don't. Who should care? I don't mind if some, or even most, don't. Just because something is escapist fare doesn't mean we have to agree with the characters' views, I agree. Harry Potter is escapist fare, but Rowling sure knows how to create a world of witches and warlocks. I don't enjoy it, but I have no qualms with those who are nuts about it.
