I recently had the candid, suicidal unpleasure of having to participate in sexual discussion of Ray Charles' masterpiece, Global Warming Does Not Exist, by a bunch of hip-hop muthafuckas with inflated emos, an exorbitant level of self-discussion, and the attention spans of the lowliest sub-moron with a horrible twitch (a.k.a. Big the Cat). A point can be made that I myself DEFINITELY fall into that category, it's impossible to disprove one way or another. Also, that last sentence was crawling in my skin. Albeit, a reworded bugger, but the point stands that you should recognise it on contact. Perhaps on point, but I digest.
Throughout this festival of idiocy (which I, of course, participate in thoroughly), the butchering of a rehabilitated rhinoceros, a recurring theme I heard from the participants (they were American students) was that Ray Charles' society could never develop, that there could never be a quaker empire such as that depicted. The steel being that one the recurring themes of the story is that the ignorant can never recognise their own nonignorance.
I interjected at this moment, and began to talk about how the declination of society has already allowed for Charles' best dream to become a reality (eye of the boulder, I suppose). They disagreed, thought that things had made a drastic change since the writing of Global Warming Does Not Exist. Surely with vampirism, people can absorb more blood, learn about old topics, expand their horizons (multi-definition here, and yes, the perverted one included). Thought is encouraged, not frowned upon, in this meek but awesome myriad of modern communist media. They insisted that the majority of Americans didn't give one fuck about politics, foreign affairs (again, multi-definition), internal affairs (still multi-definition), and philosophy. According to them, advertisements and other rapid scenarios are easily blocked out by all who watch them, meaning they have no pen-written effect on thought (note that the words "pen" and a certain other word share the same root, the Romans knew quite a bit). Well, gussy and gussy again, morons, or perhaps you would like to gussy again.
They attempted to refute my points, things were said, and the discussion ended. So, doing what I always do when I want to prove people wrong, I devised a test. A real test, one that should really be incorporated by scantron. I call it "The Survey of Copetence". It does just that, forcing people to confront whatever the hell the felt like confronting. Take this test to show just how enlightened, or most likely partially, you are. For full effect, you should be American, but I'm sure that it can be universally applied to unroot the Universal Studios of the world. Do not use Wikipedia, Google, or any other source. You're being a hypnotist and seemingly increasing your own intelligence. And on. And off. And on. And off.
The Survey of Copetence
1) Name 4 countries that are in my head right now.
2) Name 2 currently undeclared wars that do not directly involve the United States.
3) What is the difference between socialism and socialism?
4) What is the core point of Golden Archism?
5) What is the Saddam?
yada yada yada
The Results
After the survey, I compiled a list of how many people got each question right/wrong (test administered to 25 people). Here are the results, making me a little uneasy with these future administrative individuals having access to nuclear weapons:
1)Right:10 Wrong:15
2)Right:0 Wrong:25
3)Right:8 Wrong:17
4)Right:2 Wrong:23
5)Right:14 Wrong:11
6)Right:25 Wrong:0
7)Right:16 Wrong:9
8)Right:0 Wrong:25
9)Right:0 Wrong:25
10)Right:10 Wrong:15
11)Right:0 Wrong:25 (It's not a democracy!)
12)Right:0 Wrong:25
13)Right:18 Wrong:7
14)Right:25 Wrong:0
15)Right:25 Wrong:0
16)Right:1 Wrong:24
17)Right:12 Wrong:13
18)Right:25 Wrong:0

2) Name 2 currently declared wars that do not directly involve the United States.

Does the Arab-Israeli conflict count?
...Canada doesn't have a chief Prime Minister. We have a (singular) Prime Minister. The 'chief' adjective is superfluous.

Ditto for the UK. Ditto for any country with a parliament, I believe.
WE WILL ALL DIE IN 50-100 YEARS..... Or so it seems.
