Just for a laugh let's make everyone in the USA, Australia, Canada, and oh, how about Sweden, take a citizenship test for their respective countries. Every person between the age of 18 and 60, how's that.
And in order to remain a citizen of your country you need to pass it.
Wouldn't that be a hoot?
I'll go on record right now as saying the order would go like this...
1. Probably Sweden, (you could probably plug any European nation in here in place of them, or Japan, or China, or india etc, lol) it wouldn't surprise me that their people are more aware of their country, politics, geography and history.
2. Tossup between Canada & Australia, but I'll say the Aussies edge us by a nose.
3. Canada - close behind the #2 Aussies. We have become complacent here and talk a good patriotism, even fly the flag more than we used to... but I'd hazard a good guess that most wouldn't know Louis Riel from Pierre Trudeau.
4. USA -- dead last. You think all those "gangstas", homies, hicks, rednecks, trailer dwellers, mammies and ho's with 6 different kids from 6 different dads, and all other welfare cases are going to know the pledge or what state Mount Rushmore is in or which arm of the statue holds up the torch? :D
