| I realized something as I was taking this test... There are some people in the world who have never taken a geometry class and might not even know what a hexagon is, for instance... Some poor kids who never had a chance to go to school because of abuse or neglect may not even know what an odd or eve... |

| If you are Aspie and do not have a southern accent, you may run into some southerners in Charlotte for instance, who might want to presume that you are "an arrogant yankee"... They want to attack the "weirdness" they observe and teach you a lesson for venturing into their town and not having the utm... |

| I agree with you. The passengers should definitely have permission to leave the plane and walk around the secure area of the airport... just like they do before they board the plane. I don't know why they can't come up with a law at the federal level that could fix this problem. I can't imagine bein... |

| I'll try to analyze this. I think it is possible that a "geek" who knows their way around computer programming and the internet might indeed, on the surface, seem paranoid about possible hackings, etc.. I think that because of the knowledge of technology and techniques, the "geek" is more aware of w... |

| I think, not knowing whether people are laughing at you or not.. would create confusion.. It also sounds like you may have been the victim of having people laugh at you in the past.. That slowly creates a negative correlation with hearing that sound.. plus with the confusion of not knowing whether t... |

| The thing is, when you run, the officers can only assume the worst.. that you are either a wanted fugitive terrorist, killer, etc.. Running did invite the cops to restrain you... but they don't need to necessarily be so violent to accomplish that.. the laughing was cruel also... unless it was the ty... |

| I hate police brutality.. Were there any witnesses? I seriously wonder if you could sue them for that mistreatment... physical AND psychological abuse of a citizen that didn't do anything wrong. You ran instinctively because you fear police having seen the brutality they have inflicted upon others..... |
