You answered 70% of questions correctly. Here's your rating: 65-80%: Hey, you may make a good citizen yet! Look at your wrong answers and a little revision should do the trick.Locoloki wrote:

65%. But there were some I'd have had no idea without multiple choice (like the number of amendments).Locoloki wrote:

60%, I got lots of dates and names wrong, but got a lot of educated guesses (ie. I knew the other three answers were probably wrong as opposed to knowing the answer.)Locoloki wrote:

I know people that hardly can spell, but they can solve pretty complex equations.lowing wrote:
So in your mind a person who has no idea who the first president was, can probably do geometry?
This is perfect that way we know EXACTLY who is responsible when a person has no knoweldge that employers find marketable.Ei Em wrote:

19. What INS form is used to apply to become a naturalized citizen?
Correct
N-400 "Application for Naturalization"
Yup don't be like me, having a job, becoming marketable, great credit, staying out of jail, and personally responsible for your actions is not the desired example one should follow. Become a liberal instead and don't worry about any of it, someone will take care of you.BN wrote:

Yes don't take tests or grades seriously a fantastic way to impress an employerPureFodder wrote:
"Who wrote the declaration of independence?"
Michael Jackson - 2%
Barak Obama - 5%
"What are the two Major Political Parties in the US?"
Communist and Republican - 11%
"What do we call the forst 10 Amendmants of the Constitution?"
The Ten Commandments - 3%
I'm thinking that lots of kids weren't taking this crap too seriously. Plus it's history and civics, it really isn't very important to know who the First President is, you can be anything from engineer to CEO of a multinational without knowing the stuff that's on a citizenship test.
To apply this to the healthcare debate is crazy. If government education is so incompitent, then as a product of this incompitence shouldn't you disregard your own opinion Lowing?
yes it is useless info, yet if asked by a perpective employer and you didn't know something so rediculously obvious about your own country, ya think they would be impressed?DrunkFace wrote:

I think if you gave them a test on what they were actually told they would need to know like how to do maths and what not they would be mostly fine...
Again, your "governments are utterly incompetent at every level" argument holds little water.
and yes govt. is incompetent.
Ohh btw... I have a degree in economics.
Knowing pointless trivia =/= intelligence.
Not the same issue. The govt. is CHARGED with national defense, they are not charged with my healthcare.Dilbert_X wrote:
I see, so according to your logic if a kid fails a test then the govt shouldn't have armed forces since obviously they won't be able to organise or control them?lowing wrote:
Govt. not responsible enough togovern education effectively = govt not responsible enough to govern medical decisions effectively

I see so if they are CHARGED they will somehow be competent, if they are not CHARGED they will inevitably be incompetent because a kid failed a stupid test?lowing wrote:

Reckon an employer would be more concerned with my ability to spell simple words than do a multiple choice test on trivia which happened hundreds of years ago.lowing wrote:

"using your dads tax money"..lol,...get back with me when you are on your own, paying your own way through life and at least having a clue as to what you are talking about. Or run and get daddy so the men can talk.nlsme1 wrote:
Lowing, You yourself admitted that you were educated in a public setting. You commie, using my dads tax money like a leach!!! Sure glad you used that public education to make yourself more "marketable". Also helped you out by having a war you could cyphon a few months pay from as well.
does it matter? what matters is, you do not know 1st grade shit and it will show.DrunkFace wrote:
