re: Common knowledge or useless info?

None of my friends (late 20’s - early 30’s) know who killed Kennedy, MLK, or Lee Harvey. I thought this was common knowledge and they were just dumbasses until I asked some of my coworkers (all various ages) and none of them knew either.
You hang out with people and work with people that do not know Marcello, Giancana and Trafficante? You need to step up your game. I could almost understand Giancana and Trafficante if you are in Louisiana, but if they do not know Marcello then you need some new friends and a new job.

I'm not sure the either of your options are correct. History is only important if liberals can find a way to make money off of it. Otherwise it's just useless facts.

Next time add Vince Foster and Ron Brown to the list.
Michael Jackson? I suspect they know how MJ died.

No, you worthless motherfricker, some of us have integrity. I used to do trivia for fun. Don’t project your worthless idiocy on me.

Yep and Sirhan Sirhan if talking about Robert Kennedy. How someone doesn't know these things is quite baffling.

The guy on the left did it; CSM.

Partial credit if they answered "the US Government" to all three.

That song* was in the can but not yet released with the lyric “Who killed Kennedy?” and then RFK got killed. Mick went back into the studio and changed the line to the plural.

I couldn't remember MLK's assassin's name either. I never really liked history, was bad with names, and it's something that I rarely think about as it just doesn't affect my day to day life. I'd consider your friends dumb if they didn't know MLK was assassinated or something along those lines.
Geography was something I liked, and it blows my mind how few people can identify any country on a map. We were discussing Iran the other day, and I'd bet 6 of the 8 people at the table couldn't find the middle East on a map, and definitely not Iran.
