How come most of the right wing in NSG seem illiterate?

Postby Kobrania » Sun Nov 01, 2009 1:05 pm

And un-educated?
I come from a high class, well off family, yet I disagree with my Country, The West and most economical principles as I deem them selfish and immoral.
Families like mine hoard wealth and leave the lower classes to struggle and suffer.
As it is said " It is harder for a rich man to enter heaven than for a rope to thread through the eye of a needle(proper translation)"

I have thought and studied for ways to solve this, but the political climate inhibits most changes, so I give to charity instead.
Yet most of the Right on here do not seem educated or literate in any case.

Are the majority of the right essentially slaves to insanely wealthy, evil manipulative overlords?

What say you NSG?

You should've proofread this post more carefully.

I come from a lower class, not so well off family...not exactly poor, but, definitely not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination...

but, then again, Im not a right winger, and consider myself rather literate and educated..

You'd think you would have put more effort into proofreading your own post for grammar and spelling errors, given the title of your thread. Right now, it just stands as amusingly ironic.

I say that you're merely rebelling against your rich upbringing, which is rather normal. I also say that I consider myself quite intelligent, and reasonably educated. I am on the Right end of the World Left-Right spectrum, yet I fail to see how higher class families leave lower class families to struggle. I also fail to see how making a nice, wide statement on Righties is justified at all.

It's the inbreeding, I don't have the colour filter needed to read the screen properly due to my dyslexia.

The proper quote is, "...I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.".

I suggest you perhaps do a Google search before you misquote something. You may feel that something so easy or common is not in keeping with your level of education. However, isn't it better to get your facts right if you intend to insult a group of people even if your pride must suffer a microscopic reduction in the process?

I come from a family who is on benefits because they have no job. So I'm kinda lower-middle class. Yet most people around where I live are quite illiterate and seem anarchic at most.

But I'm a socialist and quite Liberal on moral views soooo...

Actually I believe he had the correct quotation, and that the one in Bible is a result of a mistranslation.

Dude, that's the current version, with the translating errors and everything.

I believe in a reasonable free society, where everyone can rise and fall by his/her own merit. To achieve this the playing field has to be somewhat leveled, but a truely equal playing field is not possible while still having the rise and fall by merit, so for me it's always about finding a balance. For me, one thing stands out for certain though: young people should have the possibilities to follow the education that suits them regardless of parental wealth. I think Education is the way to fight poverty.

I have an old friend who says he holds right wing views, he's okay but he's a bit of a jerk until you get to know him and has quite odd habits. Although i'm not sure if this reflects on his right wing views or his upbringing.
By the way he's fairly smart academically, and he's friendly enough if you humour his odd views.
So he's not illiterate he's not that wealthy but he's from a middle class family for sure, he says he's evil and manipulative and generally enjoys bizare things like cutting up dead bodies, but he's not what i would consider evil or bad.

I'm not sure if I would say most. That's a generalization, until you can provide some evidence then I may consider the idea of it. The fact is many people on here come from different backgrounds(some maybe uneducated, yes?) some people on this game may play the Right-wing but in Real Life they're staunchly Left-Wing. However, it's impossible to prove assumptions like that. You'd be surprised just how many people in the United States are rich and Right-Wing and the same goes for the left. The world is not black and white.

I come from a not so well/not bad well of neighborhood but I have Leftist Leanings and I'm left handed :).

Of course, there's the small problem of the Bible being an unreliable document that can only be taken seriously if you first accept the religious assumption that God exists and that he had inspired the book. :meh:

Burn the infidel!

Nah, It is just par from the few I get on with, I have generally noticed that the general responses by conservative members on this forum are generally bigoted, poorly strung and from sources that have no neutral or academic basis.

I am generally not wanting to offend people, I just want to see if the observations I made were one offs or actual fact.
Parth, if you have any more to say or elaborate, I would be happy to read it. :hug:
