I am very curious now though which other 4-5 questions sulps thought had to do with hippie culture
Of course, one should always remember the famous Abraham Lincoln quote: 'Don't believe everything you read on the internet.'

But what do I know, right? I'm an American, so I guess maybe I should stop talking? Whatever. This is a complaint that's never gonna die as long as JetPunk still exists and Quizmaster's still making quizzes. Unless people like you let it die. Just stop. Please.
I used to be one of those apologetic Americans who felt my own neighbors were really horrible when it comes to educating themselves about the rest of the world. My experience on JetPunk has singlehandedly demonstrated that I had a very backwards understanding of the situation.
they literally are supposed to cater to me. that's the point of making a public website, to cater to the people that come on to it.
oh, and guess what happens if I write a quiz? less than 40 people take it.
You're kinda dense, aren't you?
Now i'm not saying remove questions like the one about the Cuban Missile Crisis, because that was a worldwide thing. But please, for the love of god, I really don't care who sung Happy Birthday to the president. I don't know why that's considered such huge history. Whoop-dee-doo! Marilyn Monroe, an actress who was only famous for her looks, sang a song to the American president! Wowie Zowie! Call CNN!
My Geog must be outdated if Northern Ireland has become part of the USA.
I'm British and dislike the abundance of American sport quizzes, but they are obviously popular. I just don't do any.
Yes - there are a lot of mainly US quizzes, but if the majority of users are American that is to be expected.
If you don't like it - create quizzes yourself and encourage others to do likewise.
Please stop moaning.
