To answer your question...no. So, I should probably pack my bags, huh?

 

[Legzman]

fuck I doubt I could pass the last test, this new one is just nuts!

 

[Fresno]

Of course I could!

 

[Torre82]

Probably couldnt pass any of them. One of the rights of being a native resident of this land is saying 'I dont give a fuck' about the overheroic, overhyped, supercharged, bloated history of this damn country. All the other lands have been around lots longer and their histories are more interesting than our own!

 

[PlasmaTwa2]

Why spend all the time studying all that if all it takes to get into your country is the ability to climb a fence? :dunno:

And no, I wouldn't be able to pass that. I already live in America Jr, anyway...

Exactly! :thumbsup:

Yep! Get out you damn Chef! (lol) BTW the White Sox and Cubs won!

How about three questions:

1. Where you born in any of the 50 states or one of your parents a Citizen?

2. Do you pay taxes?

3. Do like free porn?

What is with Americans and their fascination for themselves?
I'm no pro or against USA stereotype, but I agree with Torre. The reason why Americans are considered stupid is because they're pumped up with how history started in 1776.

The US is nothing but a coincidence based on unhappy Europeans. That said, I think some great things are all here thanks to the US. But somewhere the ego trip has to stop. It's not like the Germans, Greeks or Italians are waving flags all the time for what they've done for human history. And frankly tests like these just prove how retarded an immigration system has become rather than how good of a citizen you are.

(No offense to Americans on the board, but some things piss me off)

1. Yes, I was born in Maryland
2. Yes
3. Is this a trick question?

Everybody is fascinated with themselves. So, what's your point? :dunno: I'm not following you.

I can answer most of them. It's not like this would take longer then 20 minutes to study for. The only problem I would see is if you didn't speak english.

You guys think you are bad...I didn't even know that there was a test these immigrants had to pass to begin with.

I bet the first question the student immigrants ask when they get the test is "Do you have a copy of the test in Spanish?"

Most of them these days would need the test translated into their original language just so they can read it to begin with.

Why don't they have a question asking "Which language are the Constitution, Bill of rights, and Declaration of Independence written in..?"

I'd bet half of them couldn't even answer that one in English.

It should say on the test;"No English; No test, No citizenship, No rights, No f@#$%! exceptions".

No F@!#$ Leaniency either..

This is a test to be a "citizen" not to just be here,there's a difference.Its given in english.And you don't have to be a citizen to have rights.There may be people still struggling with english taking the test but that would not be anything new in american history.It is a country of immigrants after all, and not all came from english speaking countries.

You're also 19. After all that schoolin' and learnin'.. you forget it all cuz you never use it. lol

Wow. First off, calm the fuck down. Secondly, just about every country has a test or something of the sort that you have to pass to become a citizen. So take it easy on the U.S. bashing.

We are fascinated with ourselves because, well, we kick ass. Agree or disagree, we kick ass.:thefinger

 

[gunslingingbird]

What's wrong with the people of a country having pride in their country's history, regardless of how short it may be? :dunno:

 

[maildude]

Heard this on the radio yesterday. Pretty easy test.

Actually, you want to see a retarded immigration system? Check out what people have to do in order to immigrate to the Netherlands, much less get a dutch passport. At least the American immigration test is RELEVANT and the new one makes it even more relevant. I have to know which country is bigger..the NL or Morocco and how many coins it takes to buy 1 stamp from the post office.

Oh, and I also have to know that it's not ok to beat or stone my wife.

I'm agree with that,here we have a very similar problem with the africans that coming here
