PTA Syndrome

The tendency for people, particularly women, to believe that anything they don't like or are uncomfortable with should be illegal.

The belief that the Government is ultimately responsible for the welfare of everyone but especially children.

Also applies to the belief that all criminals are reprobates who can never be trusted again.
People with PTA Syndrome tend to say things like:

"I don't like guns so any child who ever brings a toy gun to school should be permanently expelled. The Government has to do more to protect my children, since I don't have time."

"Why didn't teachers control my child and stop them from shooting their friends? I send my kids to school to learn how to behave in society, this is not my fault."

"40 years is to short a sentence for that 16 yr-old rapist. He will never change and no one will ever be safe when he's released, even at the age of 56."

Sood Syndrome

A lesion of the non-dominant parietal lobe which results in diminished ability to understand humor, sarcasm, metaphor, and main concepts of what is heard, read, or visually depicted (most observable in gchat messaging). The most diagnostic sign of this disorder is the inability to understand the punch-line of a joke.

Other symptoms include hyperactivity, excessive hair growth, and hyperhydrosis. Utilization behaviors are also present, especially around self-administering hand sanitizer machines. Usually seen in those of "indian" descent. Sood syndrome is usually benign, and thankfully, not contagious.

A friend, associate or colleauge that plays one particular or a small number of popular songs repetitively to the point of distraction.
Wes got the new Kings of Leon CD and he plays it right next to me in my cube over and over again. He has played the damn thing four or more times every day for the last two months like an eight year old with a new Raffi DVD. I used to like it, but I hope I never hear it again. He really has the Raffi Syndrome.
