Great Thread MrGray, thanks. The Daily Mail ran an education quiz recently & the results were amazing! Winston Churchill was a pop singer!!! To reply with regards to unions, get rid of them. On my 18th birthday, I achieved a boyhood wish. I qualified as a train driver (motorman in the USA). However, before I could do the job & be accepted as an employee, I had to join a union, I had no choice as it was a closed shop. What does that tell one about unions? |

Thank leftism in general for this disturbing trend......after all, feeling good about yourself and graduating with your class is more important than knowing where Egypt is located or knowing the difference between they're, their, and there, right? |

What I meant to say it is'nt leftism as much as apathy perhaps. I don't know what they're teaching them these days. |

I bet China and especially India would have whipped us big time, too! You don't need good math skills to answer a phone. ;) Hopefully the cosmos is not trying to reverse the charges. Moderation in all things. |

Sure: too old with 40! And lacking skills/education/ability/desire with 5 different "skilled worker" qualifications, with taking each chance to get a job asap, with studying in the evening instead of day-time to ave time for an 8hr- job;Well, BrainSmashR, before you call me names you should know more about me than just my actual financial situation. And whether or not I have a lazy ass is also not your biz. We could always give the social degenerates government jobs. Oh, wait, we already have.;) Hopefully the cosmos is not trying to reverse the charges. Moderation in all things. |

What I find interesting about this thread is that the word "quizzed" in the title is misspelled, and NO ONE has mentioned it. ;) Calm Chaos Forum...Join Calm Chaos Now |

All part of the Quiz. Nice catch. I wondered when it would be spotted. What country do you live in? The missing "Z" indicating the snooze factor. "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss |

Me, I went to public school in Oklahoma. Actually I thought it was that you just pasted it over from YouTube. And I did know all the answers to the quiz on the video. You know they're not going to put in the people that got it right, don't you? It's not funny or degrading that way. Calm Chaos Forum...Join Calm Chaos Now |

LOL, I did paste it from YouTube as is but just barely noticed as I pasted. I'm no wiz but I did pass the tests in the videos. I'm old, though. I've probably, (Hopefully), learned a thing or two by reading and googling when in doubt. lol "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss |

Miss Teen USA 2007 - South Carolina answers a question: A transcript of the response. The South Carolina ditz gave this incoherent, grammarless response: I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps, and, uh, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq everywhere like, such as and I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., er, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children. About the only thing that kind of made any sense was her use of the phrase "U.S. Americans". After all, Canadianss and Mexicans are North Americans too. {edit] I guess you could've said "America gets RIDDLED!" [/edit] |

What I find interesting about this thread is that the word "quizzed" in the title is misspelled, and NO ONE has mentioned it. ;) What I find interesting is that 20% of Americans can't find the US on a map because they don't have one. It's got something to do with South Africa and Iraq but I'm not sure quite what. Hopefully the cosmos is not trying to reverse the charges. Moderation in all things. |
