Could you pass?

makes me wonder what percentage fail because they dont test well

@enlightenedpsych2 rote memory I feel is only good for short term memory, much of that is lost over time

@enlightenedpsych2 well there are some things I still remember from memorizing in grade school, so that must work, for some things, prob more simple fact, and less complex idea

@Jessicalynnt Awesome, I guess it helps you to understand more but many I don't see the point of some of the questions.

@kevin1877uk me either.

there were a few I didnt know, but do now from taking these!

I felt bad, missing what I did as well.

try a quiz! I suggest the 3rd one, it's longer and thus prob more accurately hard. Some of it it was, some was history, some was geography!

@Jessicalynnt I would fail the geography section--it is my weakest subject

@divalounger these were pretty easy, like which state isn't near canada, (and things like New mexico were an option)

lol, that bad huh?

I didnt know the longest river, I assumed Mississippi

@nanette64 I do now! lol

@Jessicalynnt I use to live along the Missouri River (Iowa/Nebraska border), so I knew that one.

Yeah. It does sound pretty bad on its face. It sounds very mean, nasty and discriminatory. But I want to play Devil's advocate here very quickly and ask a question. Have you ever seen a map of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd world countries of the globe? Did you know that there are ZERO white-majority nations that are third-world countries? Did you know that there are ZERO black or Latino nations that are even second-world status, much less first world? Now, in some areas of the globe, one can argue something like imperialism holding a nation down, etc. But how can anyone explain that, over the expanse of the entire globe, you cannot find a single first or second-world nation that is operated by blacks, Latinos, Native Americans, Aboriginals? But every single first-world nation, except South Korea and Japan, were created by white people. Could it be that, given this information is 100% factual, some nations believe that whites will adapt better into their nations and provide more? Thought experiment: Look at Japan and the state of the ethnic Japanese. Japan is 98.5% ethnic Japanese. Imagine, if you will, that Australia, the UK, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Canada, the USA, Italy, etc, did not have to spread their resources taking care of other ethnic groups besides white people. Imagine how incredibly well they would be doing financially. Now, I'm not a nationalist or white nationalist. As I said, I'm only playing Devil's advocate. But it is one of those things that make you go "Hmm..." After all, one can explain something like America's black population doing poorly if they want to site something like slavery. But how can you explain it across the entire planet? Why is it only one race, most of the time, creating first-world countries, and only some races, all of the time, creating third-world countries?

@JudyEv We certainly did (white people) invade their lands. We invaded Australia, America, and other places. It's true. It's a sad historical fact, and if many of us could change it, we would. However, without these invasions, we do not have the first-world Western culture. We do not have innovations in science and technology. It's a fact that without whites, they would be living in humpies (whatever they are! lol) and wearing kangaroo skins. But, true, maybe they would have been happier. It's impossible to know that. Remember back over a decade ago when people were raising a stink about polar bears dying off because of global warming? We were all supposed to feel bad for the bears. They're dying! They're starving! But you know who we never mentioned in this? The seals! The seals were happy! They weren't being killed off at such high rates. They could swim and live and raise baby seals, and the number of polar bear attacks drastically decreased. Now, whose side should we be on? I don't know. But for polar bears to flourish and do well, seals have to die. If we want polar bears to do well, they need to eat more seals, destroy more seal habitats and create more seal carnage. That's the only way polar bears thrive. I'm not trying to compare native peoples in America and Australia with seals, of course. But in order for society to advance, we need to create civilization and expand. It sounds cruel, true, but I personally enjoy using the Internet and watching my 50" HDTV and having modern medicine and safe food and clean drinking water and heat in the winter. These are not things that native peoples--tribal peoples--are able to create. I'm not saying race X is superior and race Y is inferior; it's simply just a fact that some people create first-world societies and some people do not. I guess if I had to pick, I'd damn the seals to see polar bears achieve. And you know who's happiest about that? The fish that the seals aren't eating.

@matersfish Excellent comment. And much food for thought. Our aboriginals are now quick to say we 'invaded' their land which is quite true. But they hadn't progressed at all on their own. And 'progress' doesn't necessarily mean 'better' either I suppose. But they hadn't developed any agriculture or livestock practices, had no housing, no anything. So while we might have made a bit of a mess of things, they'd still be living in humpies and wearing kangaroo skins if they'd been left to their own devices - but perhaps they would have been happier. Who's to say?
