I'm Late (and a special Silly Webquiz Thursday!)
Hoo boy, am I ever late with this post!
These past few weeks have been insanely busy. Which is no excuse, but there it is.
Anyway, this week in the senior seminar we're discussing Art Spiegelman's MAUS.
Given that, it may be appropriate to mention the following web quiz mentioned by Robert Farley at Lawyers, Guns & Money: "In What WWII Army Should You Have Fought?>"
You scored as Poland. Your army is Poland's army. Your tenacity will form a concept in the history of your nation and you're also ready to continue fighting even if your country is occupied by the enemy. Other nations that are included in this category are Greece, Norway, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Poland | 88% | ||
Italy | 69% | ||
British and the Commonwealth | 69% | ||
Finland | 56% | ||
France, Free French and the Resistance | 50% | ||
Soviet Union | 44% | ||
Japan | 44% | ||
United States | 38% | ||
Germany | 31% |
Should I be offended that in MAUS, Spiegelman depicts the Poles as pigs?

I confess, I finally took the stupid quiz.
As a conscientious objector, I resented most of the quiz questions.
Ultimately I was declared a suitable member of the United States Army.
The IRONY here is that the United States Army won't HAVE me 'cause I'm queer.
Luckily, I want nothing to do with THEM 'cause they invade foreign countries that pose no threat to the United States and they KILL tens of thousands of innocents in the process.
War is not the answer.
