Nature versus Nurture Theory
What is your position on the nature vs. nurture theory? If you side with the nurture theory, is there an evolutionary explanation for humans being different in behavior than other animals?

Are you sure you're fully awoken?
You can always turn tricks for a few extra bucks. If looks are an issue, there's the glory hole option, but don't expect more than ... tips.

Why? What's wrong with my post? I learned about this is my sociology class the other day and was just curious as to what you guys think about this theory.

Well THERE's your problem!!! I can't believe how many schools still require the study of pseudoscience.

Why not though? I could've sworn I heard this from one of my classmates the other day. Wouldn't you consider psychology a real science?

Sure, psychology is every bit as much a science as philately.

I rather like sociology. I took the honors version of intro to sociology. Took one test, wrote one paper, got an easy A. The professor forgot to assign the final 10+ page paper so she decided to scrap it. She even decided to skip teaching one day and show an episode of 'Weeds" instead.

The way I see it (and I am probably wrong) sociology is some weird hybrid between anthropology and psychology.

As did I and I LOVED anthropology. It's all the vogue now to only speak of human behavior only in terms of the chemical, but we are at such a primitive stage in that regard - like house painters scoffing at the uneven color application on the ceiling of the Cystine Chapel.

What a splendid place the C6H12N2O4S2 Chapel is! It is no wonder that the plaster behind the lovely paintings was made from crushed kidney stones donated by the faithful congregants.
