"Ugh! I need to think of a new book. It's got to have a sell-able title and a thesis that laptop-pecking pseudo-intellectuals will enjoy talking about over their cappuccinos.... I'll think of the title first and come up with the science later."

This should be CLOSE CAPTIONED for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing!!!

[dukeriluo]

good book indeed

[jameshowland]

Ritzer can shove his fist up his arse.

Sociology is a load of silly nonsence. Why am I being forced to 'learn' it?

ARGGGHHH!

[dukeriluo]

@jameshowland you want Ritzer to shove his fist up his arse, because Sociolgy seems silly to you. Perhaps you are feeling this way because in your mind you are being forced to do something you do not like.

Do you feel perhaps you are incapable of forefilling the tasks or lack the ability in somewhat. How do you feel about it

Tell me about your family.

@jameshowland

Maybe so you can understand th social world from a perspective outside of your own limited one?

[siwawervintar]

@jameshowland Maybe because you are a sociopath that is why you need to study sociology, hahahahahahaha...

[Dipstikk]

@siwawervintar That is in fact the very reason I took this class. I am an incurable sociopath. I am known to pee on even the most apparent of street lamps.

[siwawervintar]

@Dipstikk Oh my goodness... will someone dial 911. A sociopath is on the lose. Please apprehend Dipstikk... this person is dangerous and contagious.

[Dipstikk]

@siwawervintar I am a menace, and will not stop until I have corrupted you, your children and their children's children!

I am unlocking the secrets to the foundation of society, and with this knowledge I will cause it to crumble, breaking social norms and mores, causing Durkheim to roll in his grave, and from the ashes I will rise to create a new society, in MY image! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA and so on and so on.

Forget your mad scientists, this here's a mad sociologist!

[siwawervintar]

@Dipstikk Then let me be your nemesis, BWAHAHAHAHAHA... I am an alien trying to study the earhtlings... bip...bip...bip...bip... I am from planet anus-cious. We are here to destroy you earthlings... blip.. blip... blip...

Brilliant book - a real eye opener and highly recommended.

[sickuntodeath2]

Just goes to prove what some of us have already realised: humans are NOT rational beings: they are primarily EMOTIONAL beings and "Reason is the SLAVE of passion" (Fyodor Dostoevsky). This is why the world is so f****d-up.

[SillyOclock]

cool- 5/5.

rate my vids back.

[blazak]

My students are reading and loving this book. I will show this video in class today. The book also offers ways to De-McDonaldize, is really cool.
