What Privileges Do You Have?

I still do not get the point of this, and would really like to see the results of this study that were done, but nobody seems to know the answer.......Anyway, since everyone else is doing it, I have to as well. You know, like when all your friends jump off a bridge, you have to follow? Yea, kinda like that. LOL.
