What is the average Educational level of a Freeper?
Edited on Wed Nov-08-06 07:24 PM by pstokely
I'm guessing High School (at the highest) due to their abuse of the English language. What kind of institutions did they flunk or drop out of?

27. yes - but did you get the KKKreationist KKKurriculum that FReeps did?
Someone would think there was something wrong with publicly funded education provision.

btw I'm British so I don't know what 1440 on your SAT means, sorry. I'm sure that's smart in anyone's language.

10. I wonder how significant that is? I had three months of high school, yet spent
decades correcting the spelling and grammar of college graduates (officers, graduates of various military academies).

12. Sadly it's not their levels of education, but their lack of critical thinking skills,
their lack of an understanding of the common good, their lack of compassion. You could fill them to a spill over point with knowledge, and it would do no good. Not one bit.

22. It doesn't do them any good when they come over here.
I think it's too complicated for them to figure out.

16. What Might Be Intellectually Lacking...
is also a deep seeded fear of what they do not understand or are exposed to. What America has experienced (prior shift to the right) was a reaction from those who are afraid of changing times we are globally engulfed in. As our population explodes our way of coexisting will change the way we currently live. For the right wing, that has been their number one fear and disdain, as change supersedes their need to hang on to prejudices themselves.

Until they are willing to overcome that fear, they will never learn and/or adapt to the changing World around them. They will continue to lash out against it....

None of what I say is meant to be an insult, but an insight into the mind of the uneducated man/woman with prejudice for pride (right winger).

20. There are quite a few well-educated Freepers, sarcasm aside
Edited on Wed Nov-08-06 07:38 PM by brentspeak
And quite a few intelligent Freepers who haven't had the benefit of higher education. Sure, there's lots of dummies over there, but there are a few smart, reasonable people too. The reasonable Freepers, regardless of education level, give me hope that Dewey/Eisenhower/Chafee Republicans will one day make a comeback.

25. Yeah, there are serious problems, however, many of the errors I see could easily be due to
typing while excited.

28. The 'reasonable freepers' are likely paid to post.
The place is a cross between a sewer and a barnyard.

23. It's not the level, it's what they absorb in school
Which for Freepers, is next to nothing. They already know everything they need to know when they're hatched.
