Or perhaps be allowed to pretend they have a disability without scorn/fear of getting a deserved beatdown. /I guess being allowed to do things like have a service dog?

If they want to hold dress-up parties in their houses where they pretend to be handicapped it's just another retarded affectation.  If they want to take seeing eye dogs into coffee shops, park in handicapped spots and impede sidewalks with crutches then it is a selfish, thoughtless, retarded affectation.

I don't know what they consider the right answers but apparently I'm a pro. There is some method though as I picked also what I thought were the opposite of what you should do and got a negative response.

I'm only surprised they didn't ask what is the proper reaction to "It's showtime".

Apparently riding the LRT in Edmonton gave me the skills to be a pro in New York. :unsure:

Can't remember if I've been on the subway in New York, but apparently I'm a pro.  :ph34r:

My subway skills were basic. I think I've ridden Marta twice.  :D

Seems very easy to be a pro according to this text. I was as well.

I think it really is just basic rules for public transportation. Sadly, when I look through those questions, a great many people fail them on a daily basis here.

This has to be a spoof.

I totally buy it.  Hang out in the leftwing blogosphere (feminists and stuff not commies) for a bit.

Yep.  They trigger my desire to purge.

Yeah.

I blame the internet.

It's like when that couple who wrote 'Let It Go' won their Oscar and said they wanted their child to grow up in a world without shame or fear. I wanted to say a few things in defence of shame and fear.

The budget was today and seemed to go well. Then the Tories decided to release this poster and the internet exploded in mockery, which is now the story :lol:
