Sociology - July 2006

When you answer a question on Yahoo! Answers, does the answer neseccarily spring to mind? Do the words flow freely from your mouth or do you sit, pause and think of how it can be said professionally. When its done do you redo it, over and over, until the words look impecable? And do you feel your answer contributes to the individual or are you just seeking to speak your mind?

I read earlier about the 'N' word (referring to be who are Black), and about it being a 'Hateful' word.

I don't think it is a 'hateful' word. Like the man (Will Shakespeare) wrote, 'A rose by any other name....'

It's all subjective ....as some people refer to clothing as 'sexy.' Clothing cannot be sexy or sexual as it is simply inert material.

People are not 'hot' without someone having this as their perception of that person. This perception likely tells us more about the person seeing, and not necessarily about the object of their perception.

Cross Rock (a Black American), himself says the "Black folk don't like living next to 'N's' as they bring trouble with them (and so lower the real estate values of their properties)."

It's is the attitudes of people which are the probably the greatest problems we have ~ along with the ability to express themselves without the inability to not descend into simple-minded child-like 'name calling.'

As human beings, what duties and what responsibilities do we have to our society and to our community, if any? To what degree does this vary in different societies?

I realize that people sometimes feel an actual emotional connection with a celebrity. And I know why- Celebrities' lives are constantly scrutinized and we know every intimate details of their lives from divorce to what type of dish soap they use. But it still bothers me.

I ride a bicycle. Walk about 4 miles 2-3 times weekly. I have my natural teeth. I have loads of dark brown hair and I am very comfortable with who I am except for 1 thing. I am a loner. I have my own private world in my house and people I work with want to come over, but I really don't like people in my house. Do you think I am normal. I feel like they want to come see what I have and be nosey. I do have 1 very close friend who comes over occasionally, and a boyfriend who comes over a couple times a week. I raised my kids here, I am not rich. I don't hoard and I am not dirty. I don't have a bizzillions of cats or anything to hide. The house is about 100 yrs old, I have no issues that I know of except I am intensely private. One of the people I work with asked me if I was a clean freak. No, I am not. Do you think I am a weirdo?

Or, Why are conservatives so dellusional?

They really seem to think they are the good guys, but all i ever see them doing is screaming for blood, and using death as the solution for all social problems.

All while they praise a god of love?

Why can't they see the consequences of their beliefs?

How is it that some people can take what the world has learned or earned, of the current knowledge available, and go on to minimize the repetition of the past mistakes and then others, simply ignore the past and then repeat those same mistakes over and over??

Last night I found a purse in a bar. I checked for any ID but there was none, only £30 in cash. I asked around for a while and nobody claimed it. I was going to hand it into the bar staff when I thought maybe they would take the money for themselves.
I figured the owner would only spend the money on drink, if she even found her purse. I took the £30 and I donated it to a charity helping provide clean water to vilages in developing countries. I know that stealing is wrong but to me, people living without food and water is alot worse. Do you think I did a bad thing?
