Simple short geography test for you
« on: Sat, 22 June 2013, 01:30:07 »
Read this news story, and then see if you can identify where the 4 locations are.  WITHOUT using the internet see if you can answer the 4 questions below.  Please do NOT post the answers in this thread, but just post how many out of 4 you got right.  I knew the answers, but I've been a ham radio operator all my life, and I worked as a radio officer on merchant ships for 10 years.  I've been to all 7 continents and Greenland, so I have a bit of an advantage here.  I think most Americans are so dumb when it comes to geography, and I want to see if you can even get one answer right.  NO CHEATING!  Thanks.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

I got two right away, one after a bit of thinking and I was unsure about the last one, but after I had checked I saw that I was right.

BTW, question #2 can be deducted from the article.
