The following "social scale" is based on observations of perceived worth or stigma.  Websites are sorted by their support or attack of each group on this scale.  This is not science.  However, can you deny that it is not real to some degree?

. Highest social standing
1. "VIP's" and political leaders.
2. The wealthy and influential.
3. Experts.
4. Skilled professionals and business men.
5. Unskilled workers, laborers, caregivers and saints.
6. Physically handicapped and/or physically ill.
7. Common ("non-dangerous") criminals.
8. Mentally handicapped and/or mentally ill.
9. Dangerous criminals (real or imagined).
. Lowest social standing, greatest stigma

10. Websites addressing the justice of social status in general.
