I just took the test a second time, and I'm getting the exact same results, appart from my native languages which changed to: 1. Italian 2. Dutch 3. English

Well, that must be it.

Same

dialects 1. US Black Vernacular / Ebonics 2. Singaporean 3. American (Standard)

This is really off! My english is a mix between various London accents. However, since I often hang out with foreigners, I may be more acceptant of sentences with weird grammar. That would explain the Ebonics.

native language 1. Italian 2. Chinese 3. Dutch

Although I hangout with Chinese people, I don't speak any of those languages. Plus, it would be good for a language study test to differentiate Cantonese, Mandarin...

It's not so much the scanning of plates which is invading privacy. I wouldn't mind them scanning my plate just to check when a car entered or exited a parking lot. The problem is saving and matching this data to actual people. Then selling this information to corporations and PIs.

As a side note. To most people here, politics are always accompanied by a nasty smell of corruption. During election day, poor people are offered shirts and tortas in exchange for their votes. I still see some people with t-shirts of the PRI from the elections two years ago. There is so much money involved, I remember some friends who would support the PRD, but would still work for the PRI because they were offered compensation. Although I have no way of proving it, it wouldn't surprise me if the USA had a certain level of involvement in Mexico. Actually, the contrary would be hard to believe.

Regarding the article, we still don't know at which level were the united states implicated, or if the takedown was even justified. Still smells like corruption.

You're gay, whether you want it or not, so stop shooting drugs up your brains, and stop flirting with girls... things will get better. Stop hanging out with the cool guys, they are full of shit, and you'll be gone in a year. You're living in china, so please make some efforts to learn more Chinese! Both your parents are software engineers, and you're not even taking advantage of them! Lazy piece of #$%^@! You won't regret what you did, however, you will regret a lot what you haven't done.
