Test Your Knowledge

1. A bigoted anti-gay Southern Christian is about to be barbecued alive in a house fire. When firemen arrive, he doesn’t hold on to his prejudices by asking them, “don’t help me if you are gay or Jewish or black” why not?

2. A child of any mixed parents, be it racial or ethnic or religious, is always associated with the lower class side of the union, why?

3. A country forces its young men to the military and sends them to fight a war in a far away place. After ten years of failures, the war is called off. End results: 2 000 000 dead natives, 60 000 dead Americans, deficit increased by billions of dollar, millions of unexploded land mines left behind, defoliated forests, destroyed lives for many of the survivors. And no one has yet to apologize to anyone for such a horrible and useless deed. Why not?

4. A cube of steel and a ball of steel have the same weight, but which one has a larger volume?

5. A democracy that is abridged during war is like honor which is cast aside when difficulties arise. Who said that?
