Grandpa Cat was a Manager and Director in a big food company. Cap'n Cat started out on the floor at their research center shoveling shit, cleaning up and helping Food Scientists make cereals and snacks. It was in my blood. Now, it's not. Got another job today in another industry!

Mr. Know-It-All again. You know how many people have left this board because of you??

Joe,
I know more about Socrates and Plato and the rest then you ever will. Providing an answer to a hack like you just gives an opportunity to nitpick it to death in a sad, wasted effort to prove your superiority to everyone else here.

:roll:

My favorite Aquinas quote:

"Man cannot live without joy; therefore when he is deprived of true spiritual joys it is necessary that he become addicted to carnal pleasures."

Warms the cockels.......

I guess it's easy to google an Aquinas quote, but not so easy to google a substantive answer as to why questions about Socrates and Aquinas are asked on a civics exam. :coffee:

31/33.

I CAN"T BELIEVE I MISSED THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS QUESTION. :loko: WTF was I thinking? :dunce:

Also missed the tax one...I answered no debt...which I knew was wrong...but I didn't think there was a good answer because I read the correct one as a person getting taxed at the same rate they receive benefits. :?

Guessed correctly on two others, so I guess it was a wash.
