Grant was very handsome. There's also one photo of college-age Nixon that pops up a lot in which he looks like a Hollywood idol (and, more specifically, like John Dillinger). I don't know if it's just the best photo ever taken of him or if things really south in the looks department as he aged, but it's always amused me that he is so famously homely and cantankerous, and there's one photo out there of him looking like a coverboy.

A great quiz, which I have taken several times before.

Firstly, we are not "more ignorant than any other" generation. That's ridiculous. Previous generations were so enlightened that they denied women, gay people, and minorities basic human rights. Secondly, why is it so damning if someone can't pick one bourgeois white guy apart from 40 others? I learned all about James Madison...the Federalist Papers, the Constitution, the War of 1812, etc., etc. Why does it matter that I missed his picture? It's really a trivial matter. Get over yourself.

Show me one instance where it specifically said a person was either fired or denied housing. Where does it say it? If not, you can't prove it, therefore your argument is null & void. It's like playing the race card when you have zero evidence of racism...it's a good excuse for when things don't go your way.

@pmack, you're wrong. A good way to know someone's argument is terrible is when they need to set the parameters themselves: "If you can't name a specific instance of someone being denied a job for being gay, your argument is null and void." Says who? Says you? It is well-established that there are jurisdictions in which people can be denied housing and jobs based on their sexuality. Analogously, the speed limit in New York is 55 miles per hour. Whether I personally know anyone who got a speeding ticket in New York does not affect the law. Federal law (and many state laws) do not protect certain groups the same as they protect others. The extent of the damage and injustice coming from that is very much up for debate, but to deny it outright is silly. Gay marriage wasn't even legal in many states until the Supreme Court intervened. Before that happened, plenty of states had those discriminatory laws on the books. And they still have discriminatory laws regarding other subjects.

Have to agree with jmellor. Where are you getting this from, other than nostalgia and the mythology of better days gone by? This generation of Americans are among the most informed, educated, enlightened people to ever walk the Earth. I know at least half of you reading this comment just bust out laughing... but it IS true. Sure there are ignorant Americans today, but they are no more ignorant and no greater in frequency than any place else in the world. Nor are they more ignorant/greater in number than at any point in history. Not everyone in the past was Thomas Jefferson.

Also, not being able to recognize a picture of McKinley doesn't exactly make you exceptionally ignorant.

Times and ideals change. Jefferson was considered enlightened in his day for his writing and thinking and scientific interests but he owned slaves and is often condemned for that today. I strongly disagree that we are more enlightened today than in the past. It's like that old candle in a dark room analogy...the brighter the light, the more we know and the more we realize how much we don't know. I can't think of any modern US leader I would put in the same category with Adams, Jefferson, Madison. The last worldwide leader I'd say was great was Churchill, and many would disagree. The reason I think we're not that enlightened is we know so much more today and yet we still squabble like children over petty issues. The number of outspoken racists has gone down but the number of racists who want to atone for past sins has gone up. The average person doesn't know how to do many simple tasks because our lives are so much more comfortable and our arrogance has increased accordingly.
kalbahamut

You say that we know more stuff, so I take it you agree that we are more informed and educated than any people that preceded us.

As to being enlightened, I stand by what I said. Yes we still squabble... but... compared to ages past? The world is much more peaceful and less violent. Societies are much more prosperous and equal. We take better care of the poor an infirm among us. There is much great equity between and opportunities for people of all genders, "races," nationalities, religious affiliations, sexual orientations, etc. We understand now almost universally that these things are wrong: racism, rape, slavery, child molestation, torture; yet none of them get a mention in the 10 commandments.

The world is far from perfect. I'll be the first to admit that. But it was never better than it is today. At least correcting for minor trends (for example, SJWs in the USA have set back race and gender relations at least a generation, but that's only the past 10 years).

The difference between now and 'the past' is that while a 'crap load' more information is available, it isn't committed to memory. Almost everybody has pretty much instant access to google/wiki that nobody NEEDS to remember these things anymore, so information goes in, gets used, then forgotten...

it's not always forgotten. And in the past, more often than not, the information simply never went in as it wasn't available to most people.

Go back far enough and even the very wealthy and educated, if they could even read, had access to only a small number of books if they were lucky.

Well, he had to rule between Washington and Jefferson. After seeing his legacy outshadowed by two of the greatest US presidents in history, I'm sure that at least he can rest assured that he'll look great between those two pieces of horseshit.

Adams's portrait isn't on any US money, and just isn't encountered nearly as often as a lot of the other early Presidents. It's no surprise to me that it's less recognized.

Lol that's a bit detached from reality. Regardless of whether you like or chose to recognize them, these men were/are presidents at one point. I don't like Trump but I don't deny the fact that he was president. Like what's the point of that?

If the truth be told, with very few exceptions (Jefferson, Grant, Lincoln, FDR, Teddy Roosevelt... even JFK if his photos weren't

so widely published) and obviously Obama, most of these photos are interchangeable. We may know of their accomplishments and/or scandals before, during or after their terms in office, but there is very little difference in their appearances.

For sure. They're nearly all white men between age 45 and 65, and they're from the white-collar sector of society, so it's really about using context clues to pin down the era of the picture (e.g., photo or painting? Color or black & white? What kind of tie and collar combination? Facial hair?) I recognize probably 32 presidents without any help, but for the others (Garfield, Hayes, Benjamin Harrison, Pierce, Tyler...), I just narrow it down to time period and eliminate the ones I could recognize on my own. Works fairly well. I got 42 right.

Obama actually is Half Caucasian and Half Indonesian, Obama's biological dad is actually Indonesian, while his biological mom is white, those two ethnicity's mixed together make an African American skin color, Obama's stepdad is Kenyan though, so his Stepdad is African and his Biological Dad is Indonesian, so technically we haven't really had a black president yet, but you know, he's close enough.

They hardly look identical, but that aside there have only been 5 presidents in US history who sported beards. And every one of them was president sometime between 1861 and 1893. It was the fashion of the day. Both before and after there are none. Only one with so much as a moustache.
