   @salman265 Maybe not everyone can express themselves as clearly as we might like.

   @chrislivesey maybe, but that comment would make almost no sense as I could say that sociology lacks the hardcore thinking and rigour that science subjects have.

   @salman265 I’m guessing they mean “thinking about the social world”…

   @MissNtotheA
   “Sociology requires a lot of thinking and policy making which the pure sciences subjects lack.”
   Pure sciences lack thinking?!?! Are you fucking crazy?

   Hello everybody. Please check out a video I made the other day: “In Defence of Sociology”. It`s a video that introduces The First Law of Sociology (funny, I think). Only 95 seconds.

   @Curas1 – Yeah, brilliant point. “Professional bias”. Of course, that must explain it.

    @ttiiyy I agree and disagree with you. I agree that the poor need the jobs to buy the food but they also need a basic education. If you can’t read, write or do sums you’ll find day to day living quite hard.

    Sociology requires the capacity for independent thought and critical analysis which is a rare characteristic in people more and more. It puts spotlights on areas of self and society that people don’t want to deal with would rather ignore. Sociological understanding usually challenges status quo points of view and threatens worldviews and mental constructions. People who deride Sociology/Psychology and social sciences are usually of a certain kind…narcissistic, herd mentality types -

    @mericgencturk If your idea of life is making crass and insulting comments about something you know nothing about then I guess you’ve found your niche. If ignorance is bliss you must be ecstatic.

    sociology doesn’t deserve the logy suffix at all. it’s not a science… move on please. you know what? I changed my mind. You better go study your sociology “the study of LIFE” while I’m living mine

    @mericgencturk Wow! Devastating. You laboured long and hard over a put-down and the best you could come up with was…a typo. I’m glad I don’t know you because just being in your gloriously individualistic presence probably sucks all the fun out of the room (although you could probably delete the final clause).

    @amine17360 Unfortunately “He’s” been a bit quiet on the old “telling us how to live” front these past few thousand years. Probably best if we try to work it out for ourselves, then.

    I’m not listening to the band ‘Dream Theater’ because my friends or my cousin does! Besides I’m the only one listening to them and no one fucking influences me. Sociology is just full of shit period. You fucking pervert goats.
