    For those of you asking "how could they not know?!" I'm sitting on my bed with snacks, and presumably you're equally comfortable. These people are on the spot with a camera trained on them. I tried out for Quiz Team in high school and I barely got my name right.
    I knew the answers. I just didn't know them _then._

    The Comanche and Osage are federally recognized tribes. That list shown is just a tiny portion of the 574 federally recognized tribes within the US.

We had to pass a 100 question test for citizenship, and we had to make like a 95 on the test to pass the class.

    There's a line from the movie The Last of the Dogmen about the treatment of the Native Americans ... Barbara Hershey says, "What happened was inevitable. The way it happened was unforgivable." Truer words were never spoken. My aunt (by marriage ... no Native blood for me) was descended from the Seneca tribe in NY and my ex's father was related to Chief Quanah Parker, a famous Comanche chief. I noticed neither was included in the list.

      I disagree. In school we learned this stuff starting in about 6th grade through 12th. 6 years, and people forget things. The immigrants can study previous test questions. There is a book out there that has every question ever asked on the test. It would be a lot easier to study that in a short time compared to many more subjects and topics, classes in school over a long time

    I love how women in the US have the right to shoot an intruder on their property but don't have the right to their own bodies when it comes to abortion...
    Before anyone asks, a baby is not a person until AFTER it is born, prior to that it is a FOETUS i.e. not a person.

      ​@@angelinabudin certain situations that Idk if UA-cam will let me mention I agree that it should be their decision. But as a form of post intercourse birth control, no. There are other ways to get around taking responsibility for their actions that don't involve abortion. Also, why is the woman the sole vote? Maybe the father wants the child and the woman wouldn't have to be involved at all if she didn't want to

      In regards to the OP, why wouldn't you want the ability to shoot an intruder?

    That was painful.
    Here's my question: is the school system so bad these days, or did they just not pay attention?
    I went to public schools in the '60s and '70s and we were expected to go to class and be attentive. I got them all, easily.
    That they think they're cute is also painful and you include their social media like I would follow any of them.
