<p>It takes five minutes of your time. Stuff like this tells us if we really deserve to live.</p>
<p>Pew</a> News IQ</p>
<p>I got every problem right. (12/12)</p>
<p>I did horrible, I don't read the news..</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah…no.</p>
<p>Those questions are ultra-random and have no bearing on whether or not we “deserve to live”. You’d only get all of them right (which I doubt you really did) if you spend all your time watching the news, which no high school student realistically does.</p>
<p>Are you kidding me? All this shows is that you follow news and politics closely. For what it’s worth, I got 9 out of 12, which apparently is quite better than the national average.</p>
<p>lol ouch…(8/12)</p>
<p>
I was being figurative and joking. Still, it is important to know these things. Almost every person in Canada or in Europe can beat the average American score (probably), and we’d still be guessing who Stephen Harper and Jose Barroso are. Of course, I’m overgeneralizing, but you get the picture.</p>
<p>well i want to be the only person left alive after this thread :b</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Please. Canadians and Europeans have better things to do than follow our news and politics so closely that they could answer those questions.</p>
<p>7/12 How are people supposed to know the names of random people who have some political influence?</p>
<p>10/12. I got the ones that were numbers wrong (troops killed in iraq, dow jones average)</p>
<p>9/12.</p>
<p>I find it very amusing that the question most often answered correctly was about which talk show host is campaigning for Obama. =P</p>
<p>5/12…I thought Condoleeza rice was president of Harvard University. damn.</p>
<p>And a bunch of other stuff…</p>
<p>12/12</p>
<p>I was a little hesitant on the DJIA question b/c I doubted the currentness of the survey, and the Dow’s been a roller-coaster lately.</p>
<p>11/12, I missed Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board :[</p>
<p>O Great Judge, do I even deserve to live?!</p>
<p>…god you all are freaks.</p>
<p>7/12
I’m bad at names, and there were so many of them.</p>
<p>Ok, maybe I just suck.</p>
<p>8/12
I didn’t find many of the questions to be that important though.</p>
<p>9/12.</p>
<p>I usually follow the news pretty closely, but I don’t even know what the Dow Jones Industrial Average <em>is,</em> let alone what number it is.</p>
<p>^ the only reason I knew that one is because my dad makes me follow the stock market and warn him if anything weird happens… but I still got the number wrong -.-</p>
<p>On the DOW one I thought prolly their number would be too high since it’s been falling recently and surely the quiz is out of date. So I picked 12 instead of 10 :]</p>
