Thread: Okay smartypants

I flunked by one point! All that stuff about amendments, I'd have to study first.

It said I need "a refresher course". lol

My boss (from South Africa and then the UK) just got his U.S. citizenship, and he asked us some questions from his test that we could not answer, naturally!

This sickens me and makes me so angry. I was only a kid during Vietnam but I remember my parents talking about how horrible and UnAmerican it was the way our troops were treated. My parents had friends that came back from Vietnam and I distinctly remember at a bbq how one person there was spewing their horrible garbage at those brave heroes. Needless to say everyone at the party beat the you no what out of him and threw him out. I remember asking why the guy got beat up and my mom saying something like he was disrespeting our troops and I don't ever want you to do that. Our troops are heroes and should be treated as such. Although I was just a child during Vietnam, it bothers me so very much how our troops were treated. I get upset just thinking about it.

If I had been older and understood more during Vietnam, I would have loved to have been there to welcome home our troops with open arms and beat the you know what out of every Anti-American hippie.

So yes Mountain Dog and all our veterans, thank you so much for the sacrifices you have made to protect this great country of ours. I am so sorry that people treated you that way-please know that you are a hero to many many Americans.

I got 27 out of 30.

As for #22, does anyone know the 6 amendments that are in "limbo".

The two I can think of are ERA, and DC getting full state representation.

Who knows the other 4?
