    No comment about me being as worthy a US citizen as you?

      I always knew you were special, Spiff.

      Actually, it doesn't surprise me that poeple from other countries know as much, if not more, than the Americans.
      Too many Americans take their lives for granted.

        American Cultural Imperialism sure is a b*tch, eh Spiff? French commies scoring 85%... goodness gracious. Next thing you know you will be speaking 'murican.

          Well, this time it's not so much cultural imperialism, but studying political science. Your regime is an archetype, so I got to study it pretty much in detail.

          As to the trivia, what I knew, I got it from 'Poly

                  I was born here. I wouldn't have to fill out the form, so there's no reason for me to ever know that. Were I trying to become a citizen that would be a different story. All the other questions are pretty general stuff about the history and workings of the government, grade-school knowledge. That form question is specific only to those applying for citizenship.

                  Perhaps "unfair" is the incorrect term, but it is an unusually specific question applicable only to a given situation among a bunch of general questions, on a website where it will be taken by people who will never be in that situation.

                  I think it's one of those "instant credit" type of questions, like correctly signing your name on the SAT automatically guarantees you a score of at least 200.

                    90%. The immigration form and the selection of justices one (I still think my answer's just as correct as the official one).

                      I'm not bothered so much that the non-US Citizens on this board scored so well on the test, but by the knowledge that were Americans to take the tests of other countries, most would probably fail.

                      I can't speak for all, of course, but I know that I would only be able to answer similar questions for a handful of foreign countries.

                          The form for the INS Naturalization was a total guess though.
                          95%, because I didn't know what form was for naturalization. My mom went through it, but it's not like I was the one signing the forms.

                          (Admittedly, I did help her study for the test. But I'm also decent at trivia, so.

                          However, I'm trying to remember what Amend7 is. Is that the no quartering of troops one?)

                              17. Why did the Pilgrims come to America?
                              In search of gold is not correct.

                                No, and I've tried to point out the reason many times, and got argued with about it.

                                Which kind of goes to my point of many Americans taking their lives for granted.
