Seamonkey | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 07:12 pm     Amazing! It has been 50 stars since all of them were BORN!! Now, it IS legal to fly a flag with fewer stars but they should all know this factoid. |
Halfunit | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 07:14 pm     Sadly, this reminds me of when Jay Leno hits the streets with his microphone... Does that depress anyone else besides me? |
Dogdoc | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 07:16 pm     Maybe it makes a difference if you are old enough to remember when Alaska and Hawaii were admitted as states. On second thought, I would think that with all the hype for the new state quarters the number of states shouldn't be a problem. |
Gidget | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 07:16 pm     I don't remember the exact quote but a democracy depends on an educated populace. It scares the "devil" out of me |
Trulyscrumtious | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 07:16 pm     This is sad, I'm Canadian and even I know there are 50 stars...  |
Ocean_Islands | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 07:17 pm     Amy really needs to win, now. |
Screeminmeemie | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 07:23 pm     Most of these folks are so totally immersed in movies and movie stars that there is very little room for anything else. Gee, I wonder if they could pass a citizenship test? THAT's what BB should do for the next HOH!!!! Now that would be really entertaining. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa |
Amac | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 07:25 pm     I bet Roddy would have known. He knows everything. |
Trulyscrumtious | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 07:25 pm     Screeminmeemie - GREAT IDEA!!!  |
Screeminmeemie | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 07:28 pm     Truly - thankew thankew thankew! |
Squaredsc | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 07:28 pm     yeah, but what about puerto rico?  |
Vanillarose | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 07:41 pm     Were they picking contestants for BB or Streetsmarts???? |

On a good note - they all know exactly how many stars are on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. |

Oooooooooh, I'd PAY to see Dani wearing that Dunce cap, lmao, WHOOHOOOO!!!  |
Calgaryperson | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 08:17 pm     Yep, 50 stars. |
Dmarcomb | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 08:39 pm     I'm actually not surprised to learn this. Ever watch Jay Leno and see his clips asking people about current events and history? There are some sadly stupid and ignorant people in this country. Guess they all hang in the State of Denial. BTW, I also know the states in alphabetical order and can recite them in about 20 seconds.  |
Jimmer | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 08:44 pm     I am a Canadian as well and I certainly knew about the 50 stars and 13 stripes and the significance of each. I used to know all the states and capitals as well, but I don't think that I could remember them all now. I was never sure how many people Jay Leno interviewed for his clips, but I was always hopeful that he only picked a few of the bad ones. Then again, you watch American shows like Jerry Springer etc., and you start to wonder .... |
Betty | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 09:08 pm     Oh my! There's just no excuse for that. It's so embarrassing for us all. They deserve to have a citizenship test for the next HOH. You think Dani would *intentionally* throw that or risk looking dumb in front of her kids? No, she'd lose after round one but claim it was business. |
Puckerbutt | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 10:19 pm     Jimmer - Sometimes it is interesting how much our United States educational system teaches us about other countries and their flags, yet fails to teach us about our own symbols and customs. For instance, I know the Canadian flag has only one maple leaf on it, but I'm I'm a little hazy as to which one it is - Mats Sundin or Curtis Joseph? |
Allietex | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 10:51 pm     I am hopeful that Jay Leno only shows the ones that do not know the answers. It would not be funny to show people giving the correct answers. Otherwise we may be in for trouble. I was stunned the night the people did not know George Washington was our first president, since every teacher in every grade school that I have ever been in or ever observed teaches that and Abraham Lincoln every year on their birthdays. I have taught first and second grade and every year I taught American symbols, Texas symbols, Washington, Lincoln, Martin Luther King and many more things in our country's history. Knowledge is kind of like a disease. Just because you're exposed does not mean you are going to catch it. |
Richardfan | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 11:20 pm     Hey Pucker, isn't Cujo a and not a (just wanted to use the clipart!) |
Trulyscrumtious | Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 12:57 am     Ummm, I dunno if you're just playin' around (to get to use the clipart, lol), but yeah, 'Cujo' is a 'Leaf'. On a personal note, Cujo's good and all, but no one, and I mean NO ONE, beats my baby, PATRIC ROY...*SWOOOOOOON*!  |
Willsfan | Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 01:03 am     Oh My God LMAO I just looked at Puckerbutt's profile and now my keyboard is full of Dr. Pepper. |
Puck1021 | Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 02:17 am     This is slightly OT, but my 5 and a half year old niece just learned the Preamble in kindergarden, my brother said they have to know it in order to pass into 1st grade, it is a "Charter" school so that might explain it, but she knows the whole thing word for word. |
