Hello, I recently found myself wondering why none of the fantastic maps people have made don't include any proper upper-class neighborhoods. I'm not a Developer or someone who makes anything for this game, but I think its time for someone to consider modeling a few mansions that can be placed onto a map. Lets be honest here, I know some of you have wanted to pull into the driveway of a nice big house on a map. This isn't a requirement obviously, but it would be an awesome thing for someone to develop and include in a map. Thanks for reading my suggestion!
I want to think that part of the reason why there are no rich neighborhoods in BeamNG maps is because people like me who spend too much time listening to political punk rock tend to play video games from time to time. If you've listened to as many Anti-Flag songs as I have, you'd hate rich people too. But that's not the case, unfortunately. It's mostly because making a map in BeamNG is way more effort than you'd ever like to think it is. Also because rich people suck. I hate those snotty little stuck-up bastards. They're so damn annoying...
Well said. This proposal would be fine with me as long as every structure was jbeamed and could be burned to ash.
I don't get the hate on rich people. Funnily enough, one of the groups of people I hate more than any other also seem to have a hatred of rich people. That would be britain first. A neo nazi group. They constantly bitch that they had to work through jobs shelf stacking in tesco for minimum wage and deserve more. Why do they deserve more? They dropped out of school at 16 with no formal qualifications and ended up shelf stacking, what entitlement do you have to anything more than minimum wage? The so called rich snobs, a) aren't always snobbish but b) worked their asses off for it. Take my mum and her sister/my aunt. Same upbringing. Except mum ended school with her highest formal qualification being a C grade at A-Level, got a job, had kids, whatever. My aunt worked her arse off, got formal qualifications, got grants allowing free study through uni, got her degree, got herself into a cushty job, worked her arse off again, got promotions and actually reached the board of a company she worked in before it went under, got more cushty jobs, more promotions. What does she have to show for it? A house with a market value of 3 million and no mortgage. She worked her arse off to get there, and yet that makes her satanic and evil, and the people stereotyped as hating the rich are those who simply dropped out of college with no formal qualifications and no-one to blame but themselves, oh the excuse that the school is crap is bullshit. I know people from my own yeargroup who dropped out and stack shelves who use that excuse, yet here I am at uni...
Thank you, that needed to be said, of course there are some snobs and spoilt people, but most rich people have worked hard and are so me very nice people, look at bill gates, using his fortune to help charities and worthy causes.
You also live in England, a non-capitalist country. You have free healthcare and college is free, for the most part. I live in America, a capitalist nation. Healthcare is anything other than free. You have to pay full price to get into college, unless the school likes you. My US History teacher, who looks to be at least 40, told us that he paid off his last student loan LAST MONTH. Getting back on topic, my country is full of millionaires paying tons of money to corrupt politicians so the rich people get a tax break that they don't need while anybody who isn't rich (example: my mom, a single mother of 3, one of those kids has both Aspergers and ADHD) gets higher taxes. If rich people in England do that too, please update me, because as far as I can tell, most people in the UK and Europe have a perfectly normal, fully functioning brain, unlike 99% of American politicians.
College is not free. Its £9000 per year before accomodation, books, transport etc etc. I am already upto my neck in student loans. When you find free education in britain, please notify everyone in britain. The situation my aunt got in with reduced degree costs is pretty much what you would call a scholarship and seems *alot* more common over there. So no, education isn't free at all. Actually I'm still expected to be paying off student loan debts when I'm 50 unless I manage to get a real cushty job before then. Oh, NHS service also sucks, but yeah its free so whatever. The conservatives are in power here, known for giving the tax breaks on the rich and removing benefits for the poor. Rich guys still bribe them, no change there. There is a poverty line in britain. There are tonnes of people out here without the money to eat. I had my own house sold while I was still living in it leaving a single mum of 3 nowhere to live, police came around and evicted us while we refused to leave. Slept in cars, friends houses and for awhile my aunts before eventually ending up at grans and living in her spare room for a year or 2. This lovely recession that people love to bring up, that didn't just impact the US, that hit the EU including UK too you know. I don't see how that causes the problem though. The rich guys work their asses off for their money. You maybe didn't. Whos fault is that? Heres one. Sir Alan Sugar, got to at least be a name known of in the US, maybe it isn't. Huge swathes of cash. Started out with no formal qualifications and a dead end job. Sold shit out of a £50 van he spent his entire savings on. Now has a net worth of a 1.14 US Billion. He didn't have fortune served up to him on a platter. He worked for it, he went out and got his fortune for himself. You don't just get wealth served to you on a plate, you have to work for it. I doubt RiseAgainst were just gifted popularity, they worked for it.
From what I got out of that, America and England are on a similar page. The biggest difference is that only country is actually making an attempt at fixing their shit. I'm not sure if their doing it right over there, but at least your government is trying. Mine doesn't want to anything about it, we just want to flex our muscles and show off our (unnecessary) military power. It's almost like nobody cares about what happening on our home soil, which is even worse, because we have lose gun laws that need to be tightened way up and a government who spies on their citizens. Now that I've put that on the Internet, the NSA probably killed me long before you read this. As for the whole wealth thing, I'm 90% sure that's the only way to get rich in the UK, is by selling something so damn good that you make tons of cash out of it. Not in America. A lot of our wealthy citizens have even more money than the top 10% of Britain. And a lot of our millionaires are the children of billionaires, who never worked a day in their life, but still gained 100% of their 7+ figure wealth anyway (perfect example: Mitt Romney). We also have tons of oil over here, so if you find any, you make ridiculous amounts of money just by pointing it out. This was Tapatalk's idea, not mine.
Anyone can make good money if they know what they're doing. It ain't real hard to know what you're doing, either. It isn't a huge challenge to earn a decent living either. Not all rich people have their fortunes because of corrupt politicians, a good chunk of them have made it themselves. For example: This couple that lives across the street from me. Very well off. They're probably in their 60s, with children in their late teens to early 20s. When their oldest child was born, about 25ish years ago, they were poor. Real poor. Lived in the poor part of Knoxville. They were even on food stamps. I'm not sure the exact story, but he started a company. A technology company. With that company, he brought his family out of the hood. One thing led to another and they ended up here. Nice house, nice cars, big boat. Really nice people. Not all rich people are assholes, by the way.
There's a self-service dog wash near here and they charge you to use their washing equipment. Basically just a hose and tub to do it in. You bring everything else, shampoo, etc. People pay $40 a dog to not make a slight mess at their own house. Rent for this storefront is ~$400 a month. Murica.
Agreed, my dad has some millionaire clients but they are really nice. I once helped my dad with a job and the couple we was working for offered us drinks, food just generally friendly people who I felt comfortable around. And like you said about your aunty the couple both worked hard for the house they own and I guess fully deserve that.
I got no beef with wealthy people. I just have a problem with the wealthy people that did absolutely nothing to earn it. Speaking of poverty lines,(im going to make a point here, bear with me) im sitting here in a dark room that is ~40 degrees (fahrenheit) 'cuz we have no electricity, and now got a letter from the landlord that we are gonna be evicted unless we somehow come up with more money. Life is hard, and throws you a curveball straight to the testicular area. A lot of wealthy people know that, and those are the ones i dont have a problem with. But the rich ones who's only job on the resume is "sex tape" and/or "rich daddy", really bother me.
I'm rather poor and my family depends on food stamps. Thanks for making me feel bad. (And i'm trying to make money.)
