What problems abroad?? The nonexistent "Weapons of Mass Destruction?" The terrorism that we have fostered? Or are you talking about the religious/cultural power struggle that we have only exacerbated in Iraq?

I made a thread about it to not further derail this one, but yea...couldn't have said it better.

Sociologists. Duh.

What you don't realize is that sociologists work in major fields of business and economics. They are not quacks. It is a social science, as economics is. You've told me to "learn economics" or some similar hypocritical nonsense. By your logic, economists "are just morons who over-analyze things because they have nothing better to study and analytically peice together for the purpose of their study." Holy crap that's a terrible "peice" of writing.

Economists are highly more important than sociologists. Finding new ways of how humans operate in their daily lives isn't going to be anything new to us, it's all old and we know already how humans function, anything new is just going to be more over-analyzed information that is in relevence will be insignificant.. While on the evolution factor the Economy is what makes us function towards the future, while our Society doesn't need to be analyzed to the extent that it is.

Yea...no.

Both excellent and informative journals.

I'll have to check them out. Look, when you break it down with this particular argument, it's always going to be opinion vs. opinion, so you guys may think that i'm wrong all day long, but without somebody to question everything, where would the fun be?
