 Be honest, could you pass this 8th grade exam from 1912? https://i.nostr.build/AkgfEcaJC35Jxb79.jpg  
 It's impossible. 
 Wait!.. he bought a farm for $2400 and sold it?!  Failed. He failed the real test. 
 As much as I hate to admit it, I'd get a D on this.

BTW for question 6 in Civil Government:

The answer is zero. Governments do not grant any rights. Only recognize rights one already has. 
 Rights in this sense are just another word for permissions. Governments grant permissions. Permissions are entirely jurisdictional. 

One can alway choose to act without permission. I highly recommend it. 
 Asking for permission assumes that one has authority to grant said permission. 

I recognize no earthly authority. 🙂 
 When does your driver’s license expire? 😜 
 Touche  
 Sadly what I believe to be right and wrong does not matter, when those who believe otherwise possess more bullets than I could ever own.

Though it pains me so, I try to live in such a manner that minimizes my suffering.  
 I respect the sentiment fully. Doing what is “right” regardless of permissions is the way. Consequences are a good guiding light for most of these decisions.

Love breaking a shit rule. 
 Unfortunately I read that question completely wrong. I would definitely fail this exam. ☹️ 
 Definitely a fail. My War of 1812 knowledge is severely lacking. 😂 
 I'm 80IQ, what even is this.

 would fail 
 Nope, no way. 
 Except USA related questions because I don't live there, I think I can pass. 
 i would try, but i don’t fuck with half cents. 
 I blame Flouride 
 Not without a calculator. 
 Eh probably 
 I'd fail right off the bat from spelling alone.
