Default Putting things in perspective.

This is just a test, please do not be insulted or try to fight me, I just want to show America how much they know vs. how much they could/should know. Pick the highest number on each one.

Part one: YOU

1. The number of times you said the war should be over vs. how many years you served in the military.

2. The number of times you said you hate this/that candidate vs. how many years you have been in office.

3. The number of times you complain about environmental issues vs. how many times you picked up litter.

4. The number of times you say the war on terrorism is a waste vs. the number of people you knew who died on September 11.

Part two: The Wealthy

1. Number of songs you know vs. number of times you said "god bless (your country)."

2. Number of songs that are about pain vs. number of people you know who cure pain (i.e. doctors).

3. Number of actors you know from a war movie vs. number of people you know who are in a war.

Part three: Last question

1. The number of posts you read on this website vs. the number of times you actually went out and did something about it.

Again, this is not to insult anyone, just to put things in perspective.

You did very well on the first part, although I did not expect anyone to post their answers

As for the wealthy, I meant people such as singers and actors, sorry for confusing you.

The first one on part two is meant to show people how they are openly willing to yell about other countries but are negligent toward their own.

For part three I meant how many times have you signed a petition, voted on the subject, or just try to change someone else's thoughts on a subject altogether.

Default Being 16, I can't vote on anything...

... and I have never tried to convert someone to my perspective, but I always try to make it clear and if someone agrees, then good for them.


Personally, I post here to allow my ideas and beliefs to evolve and improve through debate and discussion.

Default Well, I congradulate you.

I know this test won't fit into everyone's lives personally (i.e. someone in the services may not get the point of it).

Unless one is rich, one can do little about any political problem. I'm not rich.

Default You sure can, if you want to.

Not every politician is rich, and those worth the most are the ones with the least amount of money. If you believe you cannot change anything, you are wrong. It seems that way in America these days, that this so-called government by the people is more controlled by the rich. I hear your point, but I believe if you perservere you can be a politician.

Remember Lincoln? Not the richest of them all. Actually, not rich at all. Yet he became President and changed America forever.

My point to you may seem like both an insult and a compliment at times, but be assured that it is purely compliment. You are perfect! You are the only one that I know of that might not have changed/lied about his answers to make himself seem better. You are truly the model of an American: complain and know nothing (again, not to be an insult to wards you). I greatly appreciate your post.
