You can consult the following table to see how citizens and elected officials scored on each question.

Well, how about that? It would appear that sometimes i do know what my neighbours are up to! lol

I found a couple of the questions weird because they had very little to do with American civics, but oh well...lol :p

Good on ya !

I got the historical ones wrong, got the bill of right s mixed up and I didn't know that the electoral college is who elects the president.

I did find it odd that it states that only congress can declare war, I was pretty sure that the President can declare war without congress for 30 days, no?

I did ok with most of em.

I got 5 wrong.

One of them was a economic question about what outsourcing/importing does.
Test said increase productivity and I said it increases import tariffs.

I got another one wrong in regards to a 1858 discussion between Lincoln and someone else and what the topic was.

Dang! I shoulda kept the wrong answers because I know a couple of em were pretty obscure lol.

also, after two Bush terms who doesn't know the electoral college is the final say on american elecetions? lol :p

[Reality_Check]

Cool quiz.

Thanks for the link Sanjuro.

ice cube???

no, ICE are the ones who take the payements to look away from criminals and focus more on hardworking families instead... ICE protects more cayotes(sp?) than they actually bust...


right?

RIGHT!!!!

your beaurocracy is disgusting... here we have one acronym that covers almost all others... RCMP... not that they dont have a million and one problems and faults, but they get the same units of work for less dollars... way less middlemen and paper shufflers...


anybody remember CLUE??? those fukcers ruined my summer of 97...

yes and no... it depends on the situation... the chief cant just arbitrarilly invade anyone for 30 days tho... but then millitary action isnt the same as war... in fact, before 9/11 the sates hadnt been to actual war since before korea... they were only engaged in police action and advisory and supportive positions :rolleyes:
like vietnam, it was never declared as a war...

not only does congress declare war, but the pay for it too... they have both hands around it...

Lol, okay...

I work inside of a jail and catch criminals as they are arrested. The only people i've ever let go were kids who just turned 18 and had been in the U.S. since they were 3. Didn't even speak Spanish.

And, Lucas, it's in the works. You said Vietnam, right? Okay. Vietnam it is. :D
