Can You Pass The Test

The US Citizenship test that is?

Yeah, I know I know. It's summer and no-one wants to be bothered with a test during summer, but it might be interesting for you to see how you'd do on it.

They do, however, leave off some important things that US citizens should know like....

How many cars need to be at the drivethrough for it to be more worthwhile just to go inside for your combo meal? [img]graemlins/sure.gif[/img]

How many times a year is it acceptable to call in sick to attend a sporting event? [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img]

How often should you tip the beer vendors in the stands? [img]graemlins/wonder.gif[/img]

Can you use "it's my right as an American" to take off work on any federal holidays even if you dont work for the government? [img]wink.gif[/img]

OK, I'll stop!

I scored 95. The only question I answered wrong was the one about the original 13 states. [img]graemlins/smarty.gif[/img]

I missed #19 to Trav, and I got my amendments mixed up so I got a 90%

Not too bad for not having studied [img]wink.gif[/img]

I missed the the one about the naturalization application and the one about the voting amendment.

I got 100%! (But only because I had a lucky guess on the naturalization form.)

I only missed the naturalization form but it can kiss my xenophic white ass.

But those are loaded questions, some of them anyway. Like who has the power to declare war? Well I guess the President and the President alone because we haven't been in a 'declared' was since 1945, but tell that to the 53,000 families of the Korean Veterans, the 58,000 families from Vietnam, and all the other "non" wars like the one we're in now.

Here's some questions I would make all immigrants take:

d) I don't know

3) The place you're most likely to be shot is:

4) Social security is worth:

b) about the same as the paper it's printed on
c) some, but not as much as people thought it would be
d) about the same at the title to a house built by Zaring

5) Which of the following uses of the flag is prohibited?

a) burning it
