I bet your husband couldn’t pass it if it was 40 questions.  Most USC probably would fail it, in fact.

Haha wrong one. I agree most US citizens would fail it but if they had to study for it I believe most would pass.

I can relate to it but I just find it stupid to say the least. The only thing that my wife and I thought about doing was YouTube videos about our family like a couple other people do and get PAID for doing it.

Why is it stupid? 

Artist create content and sell it via streaming services. Large media companies create content and also sell it via Hulu and Netflix.

Again.. I personally live in Michigan, a blue state. That is completely run by republicans... A third of the population of our relatively large state lives in metro Detroit which is a blue area. Yet just about everyone owns a gun here. 

 

Your black and white argument simply doesn't exist in the real world. 

 

Just because you live in one of the major crime cities in the US doesn’t mean you are the only one in the “real world”.  Quite the opposite, more likely.  I know Detoilet fairly well.  There’s a reason why it’s stil blue.

Well, whichever way, she would fail it then.  The reason anyone can pass it is because the bank of question is so small, and you simply memorize them all.  The only variation is local governing figures and the president.

Do we need to talk about the wonderful cities run by the Democrats?  As to the black and white arguments, you may want to look at all sides.

 Actually yes it does..because I actually grew up in Ohio( a major swing state) which also has the same views and philosophies.. well maybe not southern Ohio... They are pretty weird down there.

I love US history, and I had no issues with all 100 questions.  Katya has them now as well as she has been studying them for the past six weeks.  She doesn’t like to memorize things, so I kept getting the why question in the beginning.  She has also watched almost every interview she could find.  I think she will do well.

I use to put the questions CD in the car and play it when traveling to work. Helped greatly.

Seems that Michigan is a swing state as well.  I imagine the governorship will most likely go to the Dems this time around as that seems to be the normal course for Michigan.  The jury is still out on the legislature, but I hear recreational pot will be on the ballot this year, so those bodies may swing to the Dems as well.

Ok sorry let me clarify my argument a little for you. I think people that stream their videos or make videos of them playing RPGs are stupid just like I think that the people watching them are freaking dumb as well. I have seen people watch a person on youtube play a video game and think that it's the best thing in the world.

 

The people that come up with an actual story line or plot to their video is ok by me because they actually spent the time to come up with the content and to either act it out or film it. Those people are cool in my book and there are people pooling down a good amount of money for doing that. Have you heard of Ryan on youtube?

 

Sorry I was not clear about that.

You mean Toledo?  Not quite as dilapidated as the area around Detroit, but still pretty bad.  I know De-twa has more drugs, crime, and killings, but Toledo ain’t a whole heap better.

 

If you want to get an idea of how much better life can be, leave the area completely.  Move to GA (not Atlanta) or AL (not Birmingham) or AR (not Little Rock) and see that there exists a life outside a crime-ridden area.

 

And if you REALLY want an eye-opening experience, research for yourself the top 20 cities with the most crime, and check out which color they are.  I promise, you WILL see the pattern, even if you won’t admit it.

I am actually reping you for doing this because I did this for Tagalog until my stupid work truck ate the cd.

You can learn tips and tricks to be a better gamer by watching.  I use YT for 90% learning of new things (not gaming), that’s my favorite use of if (say how to change a timing belt, or how to make something I have never tried before).  For music or entertainment, not so much.

I do that as well when learning something new about a way to do something or to fix something. I learned out to change out my wife's broken door handle on YT that would have cost me at least $200 to have done at a body shop(yes I priced it out).

 

 

Well sorry but I do not think that watching someone play will make me a better gamer at all, yes it may give me a couple tricks but only real experience will give make you a better gamer.

And that's okay you think it's dumb.. as I said earlier older members may not understand the value in it.
