Some of those questions were a bit subjective. I know the test wants you to answer "False" to everything but questions like the atomic bombing of Japan in WWII are at least partially true. There may have been other reasons why it was done, but "to save a million lives" is at least ONE of them.Your GF score is 94.
(Out of a range of 0 - 100, where 0 = mind slave, and 100 = free thinker.)

I came out at 55----I guess that makes me not a pathetic mind slave nor a fanatical free thinker. Hey theo, I'm surprised that you got a 91 & mispelled gullible--must be one of the drawbacks of being a real free thinker. Later my friend

I scored 88 on the first take. Improved it to 91 by changing my answer to true for the question about having a baby being a patent violation. That to me rendered the test pretty much subjectively useless.

Why? The government routinely issues patents on gene sequences. That's how Monsanto gets away with suing farmers out of business.lsayre wrote:I scored 88 on the first take.

I've never seen a specific instance of a human patent. But I have no trouble believing it.

I had a teacher that would give you a 5% if you handed in a test with just your name. He didn't specify if you had to spell your name correctlySMITTY wrote:I got a 70. Maybe I should have got hammered first?

AwesomeThe fluoride added to drinking water is sourced from naturally-occurring fluoride mineral deposits.
FALSE. The vast majority of the fluoride added to drinking water is fluorosilicic acid, a toxic byproduct of coal plants. This fluorosilicic acid is collected from pollution scrubbers inside coal plant smokestacks, filtered, liquefied, then sold to cities as fluoride treatment. It contains no naturally-occurring mineral fluoride whatsoever. Most cities and water municipalities lie to their residents and say they're using "naturally-occurring fluoride," when, in fact, they are buying toxic waste fluorosilicic acid because it's much less expensive.
I'm going to feed my kids some flyash tonight!
Yeah, that was pretty much BS. There were way too many answers and explanations that had no source or reference material.
