That's it! Only 20 questions. Now here's the scoring breakdown:

If you got 18-20 correct, you should be in the 7th grade.

If you got 15-17 correct, you should drop out and go to work in a gas station.

If you got 7-16 correct, you need to start Kindergarten again.

If you got 3-6 correct, you were just born.

But if you got 0-2 correct, congratulations! You are accepted to the UC Santa Cruz Community Studies program.

  3. Are you certain that you didn't collaborate with the U C I History and Sociology and Political Science departments on this?

  4. Anonymous,

    Nice try. The answer key must be protected. You know how easily those
    things can get compromised.

  5. Ha ha ha, Ted! You tell those LibtardaJERKS what time it is! Glad to see that there's another person with SENSE here who knows that history and sociology professors are DUMB.

  7. I can reduce the test down to one question. It's the same one I ask the baggers in the supermarket. It's "What was first, the Korean War or World War II?"

    Less than half know. I don't know how the pass rate compares to the SAT but it would accomplish the same thing without all that paperwork.

  10. Thillo,

    It seems I inadvertently deleted your comment and I apologize. Your point about UBL not carrying out 9-11 seems to me to be about semantics.

    Or did we kill the wrong man????

  11. Thillo wrote, "Correct me if I'm wrong Gary but Usama bin Laden didn't carry out 9-11. If I'm not mistaken he wasn't even wanted for it. The man behind 9-11 is awaiting trial. Unless you're a conspiracy theorist (not you off course) or a Ron Paul supporter or both who believes Bibi, George W. and Dick carried out 9-11 there's no right answer to number 14. "

    Let me correct you ... you are wrong. Osama bin Laden admitted on video that he and his organization planned and was responsible for the attack on 9/11

    and

    Khalid Sheik Mohammed and Zawahari worked for Osama. He even declared war against the US in a fatwa years before that.

    It is amazing that anyone questions this.

  12. Miggie,

    Thanks for posting Thillo's words, which I thought were lost. I guess Thillo didn't consider conspiracy laws. I hope he didn't mean to say UBL was innocent or didn't carry it out just because he wasn't one of the hijackers. He should clarify it.

  13. 1: a: I know, because he used that name in full when he took the oath of office.

    2: None of the above: World War 2 began when Hitler and Mussolini intervened on the side of Francisco Franco's extended coup d'etat against the elected Republican government of Spain.

    3: a: everyone knows that.

    4: In Republican math, Two parts spending and three parts tax cuts adds up to seven parts revenue.

    5: c - Duh-uh

    6: Even a UCSC Community Studies Major can sort out three generals from a sergeant. Why don't you ask about whether Chip Bohlen, cousin of Alfred Krupp von Bohlen, served in the German or American army? (Hint: the answer is no shame at all to Chip).

    7: The real question is, who would Gary prefer as vice president?

    8: Give us a hard one: The cities of London, Paris, Rome, Berlin, and Palestine are located in which state? (Texas).

    9: Yeah, another easy one.

    10: Ditto. This part was written by a college sports scout.

    11: Buddhism - it worships no god. But glad to see that, unlike Miggie, you know environmentalism is not a religion.

    12: Your point? Aside from making it easy for anyone with no education to speak of to gain college admission?

    13: Gary thinks its a, but I doubt it.

    14: a and c. Read about it in The Onion.

    15: must have been d

    Getting a bit trite here, aren't you?

    18: Republicans believe (b), as evidence by their insistence that austerity ends recessions.

    19: A better question is what George H.W. Bush told the Veterans of Foreign Wars on Sept 7, 1988.

    20: Must be e. No conservative would ever pick d.

  14. I should clarify what I wrote. UBL wasn't innocent, he was a terrorist and I'm glad he's fish food however he was never accuse of carrying out 9-11 even after he was killed. I don't know why that is but I find it strange that's all.

  15. Thillo,


    Are you splitting legal hairs here or what? Surely, you are not suggesting he had no role in 9-11?

    (You are not a Truther, are you?)

    ReplyDelete
  16. Thillo, your "...apparently the FBI believes UBL had no role in 9-11 at all, that's why " is quite a leap. Just because they did not specially charge him for the act really isn't the same as believing he had no part.

    There are a lot of things that can't be readily explained in things like the Kennedy assassination and the 9/11 attacks. That we just don't know the answer doesn't mean a conspiracy or alternative explantion exists.

    If you want to advance another theory you will have to supply explainations for all the questions and unexplained items in the alternate theory.

    For example, those who believe the Towers or other buildings were dynamited would have to explain who and how those buildings wired and how could it be that nobody ever saw any of those efforts.

    The 9/11 attacks are an Occam's Razor event. The simplistic, most obvious, explanation is usually right. Putting a lot of credit or emphasis on an odd fact is useless. It is just an unexplained item, not unexplainable (yet).

  17. The biggest truther argument is that the Pentagon was not hit by a plane, but by a missile. The fallacy in this argument is that thousands of morning rush hour commuters had a direct view of the civilian air liner crashing into the Pentagon.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Hell, I could have sworn I saw both crash in the TV replays that we see over and over.

    ReplyDelete
  19. That's another telling piece of evidence. I don't watch much TV, but I did have a supervisor in 2001 who was among the morning commuters interviewed by the FBI. His account of how it went: "Did I see the plane? Yes. Did I get a good look at the pilot's face? No."

    ReplyDelete
  20. Maybe George Bush was the pilot. (He was a pilot, you know.)
