BeccaLoo24 – i can toss grown men.... so dont doubt me
thanks for the smooch I miss you too !
Eh, 65% -- knew a few, guessed a few, no clue on some.... and I'm lousy at history.So do I get deported now?
If someone asked me these questions point blank with no choices I would have trouble with some of them, but add the multiple choices and usually I can get the correct one. Kinda like a refresher from what I learned in school.
I remember in elementary school being able to recite all sorts of long things word for word.
Fortunately I also have the ability to learn and use so I'm OK.
I thought the Susan B. Anthony one was referring to a sex change.
Seriously though. Anybody over the age of about 30 should be able to get 80% or better. Thats about when they stopped teaching in public schools.
I didn't pay attention either, most of what I know even in history or anything in general I "learned" after school. Sure the memorizing took place and I squeezed by but I had to relearn everything, school only planted a seed.
How about an English test first, and I mean being able to take the test and answer questions verbally in the official language of the country to which you are pledging allgieance.
I have never had any interest in anything politics until lately. And I still don't really even get what difference it makes if you do know how many amendments the Constitution has, or how many voting members the House of Representatives has or how many justices are there on the U.S. Supreme Court? I didn't see how most of the questions make much of a difference about being a citizen or not.How about an English test first, and I mean being able to take the test and answer questions verbally in the official language of the country to which you are pledging allgieance.
but how does knowing how many voting members there are of the house of rep tell you if things are working or not?To me it would just be a memorization test and I'll forget it all in a week.We just had two guys at work get there citizenship a couple weeks ago. We were all very proud of them
True...but for craps sake...30 seconds and you know it. It's not complicated or confusing, hell it's shorter than a phone number.
