I did a little experiment

While taking the Skytrain and walking through the downtown .
It was an experiment to see if I could recognize potential nutcases, people likely to open fire on a crowd or go postal, by my own judgement of their appearance.
This would be a very handy gift for someone to have because we could then pick the people up before they got to do anything nasty.
Sad to say that I'd already picked out enough to fill out a fair sized jail before I got home.
You could fill one cell block with weirdos on the Skytrain alone, so I guess my amateur profiling experiment was a total failure.

would probably be classified as "weirdos" by people like you, and they're very peaceful, very nice people.
You, on the other hand - (?!!) I'm not surprised that you're conducting these experiments all by yourself. You should probably get used to doing all kinds of things all by yourself.
Well aren't you

you have nothing to worry about, just stick with them. It'll make it that much easier when the round up comes.
of course it did

"Weird" does not automatically equal dangerous.
I'm weird, but people have described me as one of the nicest people they've met. Some of us just don't want to conform to the boring "normal" lifestyle.

3 of the most unethical , sociopathic, people i know come from wealthy backgrounds and wear suits. The kindest people i know don't care about their fashion or apperance.

What you did was not an experiment at all. It was more of an autoethnography. You learned nothing about the people around you. You learned something about yourself: that you can't distinguish difference from dangerousness.

But I'm a man. I can't, therefore, be a bitch.
There's that anthropology guy again

I thought I told Riverview to increase the meds!
You would think that somebody who replies with "Anthropology 101"
would have a modicum of ability to make some sense but nothing in the posts so far has any.
Maybe once you get into high school you'll figure it out.
