Blogger without a country
Lots of bloggers are posting about the online "Country Quiz": You answer six simple questions and then you're told which of 64 countries you most resemble. (That's what you're promised, anyway.)
I took the quiz and was informed that I am the United Nations, which isn't even a country. The United Nations flag (above) was displayed with my results, which read:
You're the United Nations!
Most people think you're ineffective, but you are trying to completely save the world from itself, so there's always going to be a long way to go. You're always the one trying to get friends to talk to each other, enemies to talk to each other, anyone who can to just talk instead of beating each other about the head and torso. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, and you get very schizophrenic as a result. But your heart is in the right place, and sometimes also in New York.
Great. I feel like Charlie Brown, Jimmy Carter, Kofi Annan: I'm not disrespected, really, but no one takes me very seriously and no one really listens to what I have to say, either.
I'm certainly not alone, however. The Website that hosts the "Country Quiz" reports that of the more than 75,000 people who have taken the quiz, the United Nations is the No.1 result, with more than 3,700 people (5 percent) having been assigned to it; Thailand is No. 2, with more than 3,250 people (4 percent); Canada is No. 3, with almost 2,200 people (3 percent); and -- this is scary -- Texas is No. 4, with almost 2,100 people (3 percent). (They say that Texas is a whole other country...)
The United States is not even in the top 10 (I'm assuming that it's one of the 64 possibilities.)
