@topic, I scored 11 out of 12. The questions are easy enough and I can't seem to figure out which of the questions that I missed. |
Re: Take This Test by bawomolo(m): 3:36am On Oct 17, 2009 |

Re: Take This Test by oyinda3(f): 5:21am On Oct 17, 2009 |
i got a 9 out of 12. yeah I don't listen to the news sue me. lol so this is one of those type of online survey things they use to research how much the news the average american knows? |
Re: Take This Test by redsun(m): 9:21am On Oct 17, 2009 |
bawomolo: I attempted the two i am interested in and i got them right,isreal shares no bother with iran,while health care cost more in america than any other developed world all because of mere greed,they have enough to around,yet they want their own citizens to suffer in the name of capitalism.I am not keen on american domestic affairs,i know Obama is at the helm of the affairs and he is doing good,trying to impose good over evil. Health is wealth,but in america it seems like wealth is health,they will rather waste trillions on war than to save the poor.New orleans katrina was another incident of america choosing biased tradition to sanity,they left them to perish because they were poor blacks-children,youths,adults,the very old,even pets,all were suppose to be american citizens. |

Re: Take This Test by redsun(m): 10:26am On Oct 17, 2009 |

Re: Take This Test by bawomolo(m): 6:50pm On Oct 17, 2009 |
oyinda.: yeah a test of how aware (or dumb) americans are. |
Re: Take This Test by Nobody: 6:52pm On Oct 17, 2009 |

Tayo-D: Tayo-D, From your post "12. About how many U.S. military personnel are currently in Afghanistan: 70,000 Incorrect 28", it seems you missed Question 12. |
Re: Take This Test by SeanT21(f): 5:56am On Oct 22, 2009 |
ahh, richyblack, U love to bluff. I have not watched CNN in a couple of weeks but I tried.
|
Re: Take This Test by RichyBlacK(m): 6:18am On Oct 22, 2009 |
SeanT21: SeanT21, The one question I found a bit difficult was "7. Do you happen to know if Iran and Israel do or do not share a border?". Recalling that Iraq is west of Iran was all I needed. |
Re: Take This Test by SeanT21(f): 6:46am On Oct 22, 2009 |
RichyBlacK: I freaking failed that question. I thought they did share a border. |
Re: Take This Test by oyinda3(f): 12:01am On Oct 29, 2009 |
loll. on a random note, It's funny that sometimes when I think about it, we know more about North America than we know about Africa. maybe we should carry out a survey on how many Africans know if Mauritania shares a border with Mali. i'm guilty of accusing westerners of being ignorant about Africa but I think i'm more ignorant than I should be myself. don't know if this applies to you guys as well. |
Re: Take This Test by SeanT21(f): 3:57am On Oct 29, 2009 |
oyinda.: That's the truth. I once toke a test on Africa and I was so disappointed. |
Re: Take This Test by OgidiBoy(m): 4:06am On Oct 29, 2009 |
I missed only the question about the troop number in Afghanistan What's so freaking sad is the average American on the street don't even know or care to know the answers to those questions. |
Re: Take This Test by Ibime(m): 11:01am On Oct 29, 2009 |
Apart from RichyBlack, I think all of you should defer to my superior knowledge when arguing political issues from now on. How can a nucca in the UK know more about your politics than you? I must admit to guessing about the chair of the finance committee looking into the public health option, and also making an informed guess on troop numbers in Afghanistan. |
Re: Take This Test by bawomolo(m): 5:14am On Oct 30, 2009 |
oyinda.: that's true. african geography is something else. strange countries like djibouti and the likes |
Re: Take This Test by Nobody: 5:16am On Oct 30, 2009 |
bawomolo:I use to laugh in Geo when we talk abt it |
