How gullible are you?

[sinkoman]

Bleh, I got a 79, but I think that site is complete and utter bullshit.

I mean, they say that having a baby is technically a patent infringment because people patent genes, but in the wikipedia article they linked to, they clearly state...

It is not possible to patent a living organism. Patents are instead taken out on specific chemicals isolated or developed from plants

That site=bullshit

64, I mainly got had on the questions about the USA, since I know nothing about that country and had to guess.

I got a score of 55, but the description that Shippi got fits me perfectly, although I am pretty intelligent.

That is rather biased. And in #2 I though he meant real 100% silver...

#5 suggests that the author is a commie. Duh.

My government would never knowingly lie to me.
FALSE. All governments lie. They lie about war, the economy, the money supply, and even medical experiments on humans. The question is not whether governments lie, but why they lie. The answer remains consistent: to maintain control. To keep its population in line, every government must shape the information its population receives. In countries like China, this is done by directly owning and controlling the media. In freer countries like the United States, this is achieved through indirect influence over the media. To learn alternative information the U.S. media usually censors, visit Truthout.org or The Memory Hole.

Duh. You make it sound like thats a bad thing.

Surgical procedures must be proven safe and effective before being practiced on patients.
FALSE. There is absolutely no requirement that surgical procedures be proven safe or effective before being performed on any number of patients. Unlike drugs, surgical procedures are not "approved" by any centralized safety agency. As a result, literally millions of unnecessary (and dangerous) surgical procedures are performed on Americans each year. Learn more at the NewsTarget surgery page.

So, you weren't asking for an opinion? heheh...

Private gambling and internet gambling has been outlawed because the government wants to protect people from the evils associated with this activity.
FALSE. Gambling is only outlawed when the government doesn't get a cut from the activity. That's why sports betting in New York is illegal, but the New York Lottery is perfectly legal. Where casinos are allowed in the United States, they always pay a cut of profits to the cities and states that allow them to set up shop. It's nothing more than a classic "protection fee" that promises casinos legal safety as long as they keep sending money to the State. The legality of gambling has nothing to do with right or wrong, and everything to do with dollars and cents.

STFU, GTH.

The U.S. is the most technologically advanced nation in the world.
FALSE. Japan, Korea, Hong Kong and many European countries easily eclipse the U.S. in terms of bandwidth, wi-fi and overall connectivity. Japan leads the world in hybrid vehicle technology and robotics research. Canada is a world leader in fuel cell technology, far surpassing the United States. India now graduates ten times as many engineers as the U.S., and China is fast becoming a major technical contender as well. The U.S. has fundamentally lost its manufacturing technology base, and its universities no longer dominate the world's technical learning institutions. Although the U.S. is still a technology player in the global marketplace, it is clearly no longer the most technologically advanced nation in the world.

HELL YES!

In 1945, the U.S. dropped two atomic bombs on civilian populations in Japan in order to force Japan's surrender and "save a million lives."
FALSE. Although this was the "official" history taught to U.S. schoolchildren, we now know that the U.S. dropped nuclear bombs on an essentially defeated Japan. Japan was, in fact, attempting to initiate surrender negotiations even before the bombs were dropped. The primary purpose of bombing Japan was to demonstrate to the Soviet Union that the United States not only had nuclear weapons, but was willing to use them, thus cementing America's nuclear stance during the ramp-up to the Cold War. This explanation, of course, remains highly debatable, but the fact remains that even U.S. military leaders estimated no more than 50,000 Americans would be lost in a D-Day style assault on Japan. It's a huge number of lives, yes, but nowhere near one million. The two nuclear bombs, by the way, killed at least 200,000 Japanese civilians.

Very funny.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a genuine brain chemistry disorder that must be treated with drugs to help children.
FALSE. This so-called disease is entirely fictitious and has no measurable physiological basis whatsoever. Hyperactivity in children is actually caused primarily by poor nutritional habits (consumption of refined sugars and food coloring) and can be easily corrected in less than two weeks by taking children off all refined carbohydrates and food additives. The ADHD "disease" was invented to sell drugs and boost the power of the highly corrupt psychiatric community, which increasingly "discovers" fictitious diseases and treats them with mind-altering narcotics.

OH YEAH! MENTAL ILLNESSES DON'T EXIST LOL!

 

[CptStern]

you only got a high score because your a liberal.

and I only got a high score because I could tell that the people who made this test are liberal...

EDIT: oh and 91

are you implying that non-liberals are dumber than liberals?

 

[The Monkey]

Your GF score is 61.

 

[swiss]

I got 61.
Many of the questions are completly stupid though, because they are too complex to be answered by a simple true or false.
EG inflation is a natural side effect of a healthy, growing economy -
the answer could easily be true. But it says false.

Too many of the questions are hippy banter that either can't be proven one way or the other or can't be answered true or false definitively. I was half-expecting there to be a WTC question.

EDIT: That "zomghydrogencrystalswillsaveourplanet!" one is BS too.

I got a GF of 64, Learner

As a Learner, you're smart enough to know better, yet you're still not fully informed about reality. Around 15% of the population are Learners. You have the critical thinking skills to be a truly free individual, but you haven't exercised them enough yet. From time to time, you're still manipulated by the powers that be, although you frequently learn from those mistakes and refuse to be exploited again. You buy things because they are practical, not because they're cool.

If you were in The Matrix, you would have taken the red pill, but you would still be in a state of mild disbelief about the nature of reality. You are essentially unplugged, but still untrained. With more knowledge, you could become a true free thinker.
Your architects: You have always been an independent thinker. You rebelled against your parents, schoolteachers and always chose to hang out with smart friends who weren't necessarily that popular to the "in" crowd. Increasingly, you shape your own world by deciding what actions to take based on your own internal drive rather than what society tells you is right. Action steps: Learn more. Educate yourself through alternative media and cutting-edge books. Read the answers below to get started.

I guessed on the US is a democracy question, because I knew that a republic includes a senate in the structure, but with many people making a fuss about everybody else should be a democracy just made it difficult to decide

How the f*ck am I supposed to know if there are crystals under the sea that could provide hydrogen for power? Couldn't they just f*cking well use water anyway?

Inflation is a natural side effect of a healthy, growing economy.
FALSE. Monetary inflation, which saps the buying power of your dollars, is intentionally caused by the expansion of the money supply which is, in turn, controlled by the Federal Reserve. The net effect is a hidden tax on Americans' income and savings (a tax most people never notice). In an honest economy, the money supply would remain constant, and the annual inflation rate would be zero. Inflation is not natural, it's a manipulation that acts as hidden taxation.

Yes because business would never higher their prices without a Federal Reserve conspiracy making htem

 

[kirovman]

85 from clicking all false.

That was a true or false test, not a gullibility test.

Also, I don't believe that the two ends of the scale are gullible and freethinker - I believe that if you're entirely cynical towards government orientated questions then you are a conspiracy theorist! :shh:
