Al Gore or the Unabomber?
Can you tell the difference between things Al Gore said in his book "Earth in the balance" and things the Unabomber said in his manifesto?
Take the Quiz!
(this is more a frontroom style thread but I put it here because of the politics. It's just for fun)

Re: Al Gore or the Unabomber?
Hmm. 42%
I'm not surprised, I read parts of the manifesto years ago. Fun quiz though.
-
Re: Al Gore or the Unabomber?
50% Haven't read either. Interesting.
-
Re: Al Gore or the Unabomber?
25%. (read neither)
I cast the Unabomber into the Tyler Durden role, and got most of them wrong. Gore's parts were actually more tirade-like, I should have known, he was the one trying to sell something. :inquisitive: Outrage is the opiate of the masses, I guess.

Re: Al Gore or the Unabomber?
33%, which means I suck. Never read either tract, however.

Re: Al Gore or the Unabomber?
25%. Ouch. At least I have the excuse of not having read either. :sweatdrop:
-
Re : Al Gore or the Unabomber?
50%. ~:eek:
While I was taking the quiz I thought I had it pretty much down. I was all ready to post my 100% score and then lecture you all that there is, in fact, a big difference between the systematic madness of the Unabomber, and the appearance of madness that is simply a product of Gore's wandering creative mind....
Blimey. ~:mecry:

Re: Al Gore or the Unabomber?
I knew that they'd be pretty hard to distinguish, but I didn't think even Gore would suggest that children in the developping world live in a less destructive environment then over here. What a jerk and utter fool :no:

Don't look if you havenT taken the quiz yet:

Re: Al Gore or the Unabomber?

Fear the inconvenient truth!

Re: Al Gore or the Unabomber?
Your score is 33%
Also read neither, but still: Wow . . .

Interesting, I didn't know that actors were buried in different cemeteries.
edit: wait, that was a Gore quote!!??
-
Re: Al Gore or the Unabomber?
17 %
Oh yeah, lowest of the low.

Re: Al Gore or the Unabomber?
Having labored through Kaczysnki's maifesto years ago (but not Gore's piece), I figured I'd slam-dunk you guys and score somewhere in the 80's.
Du-uh.

Re: Al Gore or the Unabomber?
Wow, just 42%. :shame:
The Unabomber makes some surprisingly cogent arguments when compared to Gore's sensationalism. Who knew? :dizzy2:

Yeah. OTOH, Gore just wants your money and your love, whereas Kaczysnki blew people up whilst opening their mail.

50%. The same as random guessing. But relatively...

Re: Al Gore or the Unabomber?
I blindly ticked off 'Unabomber' at all 12 questions, i.e. without looking at the texts. My score is 50%. :balloon2:

I'm impressed that you managed to check the boxes at all.

Thought that the more boring quotes would be Gore, since well ... Gore is boring. But, I guess that didn't work out, since they were all boring. :shrug:

Re: Al Gore or the Unabomber?
25%
I hadn't read either; and I had to check up Wikipedia who the Unabomber was before I took the quiz. :inquisitive:
-
Re: Al Gore or the Unabomber?
I got 67%. Which means I pass even by uni standards. :laugh4: Also never read either document.
But I just picked Unabomber first and alternated accordingly. :sweatdrop: STill the end result was 1, 6, 9,and 10 wrong.

Sorry for being too succinct, Sasaki Kojiro. I see how my reply could be construed as rude.
My 50% score merely means that the test is fair. It does not mean that I'm uninterested, unappreciative or disrespectful.
Having read both texts in the past it does not surprise me at all that the two gentlemen may be confused. If anything other peoples' test scores seem to confirm that this is the case. My own test score wouldn't add anything to the equation.

@ Adrian & Sasaki - I didn't think either of your responses were rude, I thought they were meant in good humor.

I'll apologize to Sasaki Kojiro if and when I want to, you young whackersnapper. :furious3:
