Sociology - December 2006

How long are adults (the 30+ crowd) going to underestimate those under 21, simply because of a select amount of people in our age group who act like idiots and embarass the rational ones?
It's so amazing when adults say things like, "you think you know everything". They certainly don't, either. I'd like to meet the person who DOES know everything! Are you so frightened of being questioned? If someone half my age is smarter than me, I'm not going to burst into tears and try to convince them that I am right just because I was born first. I'm going to take that as inspiration to get myself more educated!
And one last question....why is it that people 30+ are so eager to flap their ageist egos around and pretend that they are better than young people....yet they are so desperate to look like us and always want to be told that they look and feel young? If you want youth, stop being a hypocrite.

It seems there is a higher likelyhood to of same sex marriages going the distance based on more similar ideologies. Please do not respond with any opinions on the subject. I'm just looking for statistical data to support or deny this theory.

i am a 37 yo cd and i can pass with no problem i go ut in public all the time, my question is this. if a guy like me wants to dress and act like a girl as my way expressing my inner self. do you believ i have the right to do this so long as my actions cause no harm nor infringe upon anybody elses rights? i was recently told to leave a restaraunt where i was going to dine with my gf ( who is a girl) the waitress must have known when i spoke to her, it is the only part of being a girl i have a hard time faking. well any way the manager came over and told us we had to leave or he was going to call the polidce. we were minding our own buisness and not bothering anybody. i know for a fact that no one even gave us a second thought when we entered the place, in fact we had to wait 20 minutes to sit. in that time no one stared, snickered or otherwise gave us a second look. so what is it about us that scares all of you we are not perverts, weirdos, or anything of that nature .

I heard somewhere that you shouldn't use the word "you" a lot in conversations...that it's accusatory or something? Are there other words, phrases, even body language like this?

I think it is so important to know when or unexpected incidents to your or your loved ones. We know many kids have been abducted or try to hurt them.... There some insane people do such these things.

I have a question to those who, by chose or circumstance, live "simply" (beautifully, I say)--with few possessions, in a rich, peaceful, satisfied life. My question is this: what things do you own? I.E., a few pairs of clothes, a bag, a brush...What is your day like? You see, I am intending to begin this sort of lifestyle and I am looking for a sensible example to follow and also, to know what it looks like. Thanks a lot.

there is a point that Informational Technologies are rather bad for us than good. one of the arguments was that it's gonna cause social problems like pepole who are too old to learn to live with them or just for some reason dont know how to do that are getting out of everyday activity and that makes our society break into two parts. i wasnt actually agree with this point but the more i think of it the messier it seems to me. just collecting ideas for my course assignment, and would like to know both FORs and AGAINSTs,

After taking the test in the library(because he's been uh sexually eyeing me all week last week and I asked the dean if I can defend myself against a teacher physically if one ever comes on to me without being suspended. They said yes so I felt more comfortable).

Anyway after the test was done I had a chat with my instructor about how I did the probs on the test and we talked generally and casually about classes and all about how he thinks I'm a space cadet having those blonde moments lol. Yeah he called me a space cadet! So we talked some more and finally I said well have a good Christmas and he said you too!
As soon as I stepped out of his office he LAUGHED at me! I turned around and there he was beaming at me. I walked in and asked why he was laughing. He just shook his head with a smile. I smiled and said yeah I can be a space cadet sometimes haha! He said yeah and kept smiling at me and that was it.

What does this mean? Why did he laugh?

Neogenics is for increasing the number of good minds and reducing crimes, corruption, cruelty etc., for social transformation. Hitherto attempts to transform the society through admonitions and punishments have not yielded any perceptible and lasting results. Genetic transformation of the society will assure lasting peace and harmony.
Racial mingling through neogenics will put an end to violence on racial grounds.
By reducing the incidence of genetically transferable diseases (most of the diseases have a genetic base), drastic improvement in health and reduction in medical expenditure is possible.
Tribal welfare and upliftment. Attempts for the upliftment of the tribal people failed in many countries and a genetic course is the best method towards this goal.
Raising the IQ level of the average population according to the needs of a civilized and technologically advanced society. The benefits of ascending IQ in a population are rather beyond our imagination.
