[EJP]

Here I shall post all good Psycology quotes from my Psycology 101 class. I do get a few good ones.

"It's not that I don't care. Its that I can't."

"125 Miles Per Hour=not that fast"

Well, the shirt I'm wearing right now says -

"I'm really easy to get along with once you people learn to worship me."

Because my ego is just so unexplainably huge.

[N4Mazter]

I got this from my Psychology book:

"Have a couple of dreams and call me in the morning."

[gamemaker]

What your psychologist says after you tell him/her your dream:

"You feel like a Tuna, but you're actually a flounder."

Makes no sense. Here's another thing he/she would say:

*snore*

[Thy Masked Tragedy]

I saw a shirt that said this in a magazine:

"Doesn't expecting the unexpected, make the unexpected the expected?"

[EJP]

Here is a funny one from the other day.

" It was the best buffey. I remember they had alot of fish there and I'd go there for all the fish I could eat. Until one day. You see, I have the world record for throwing up the most times in the most amount of planters within 15 minutes. I remember I threw up 16 times and alot of people would just be walking by me and not seem to care."- EJP's Psychology Teacher

"Oh I often get 12 hours of sleep on the weekends. But 4 of those hours, I guess, don't count since I'm passed out during that time."- Some girl and a disscussion abut sleep

[The Crow]

My Psychology teacher, last semester, said "The reason why women want men to stay with them and only have one male partner (most of the time) is because a woman can only have 1 baby once a year" ... or rather one borthing... a woman can give birth to twins triplets, ect. "But the reason why men want so many women is because they want to spread their sperm and can have as many childreen with as many differint women as they want."

XDDD This was stated when my friend was complaining about her boyfriend cheating on her.

They can't use that quote! That's my quote! I'm the one that made that up! "If you expect the unexpected, doesn't that make the unexpected expected?" I've been saying that for years!

That teacher's full of something. It's thinking like that that's only trying to excuse poor behavior. Suddenly, it's the woman's fault for not being a baby machine and forcing the man to go cheat on her with others. That kind of thing just plain infuriates me. Liberalistic bull is all it is. When one partner cheats on the other (and it can be the male or the female that does it), it's due to their own lack of maturity and refusal to control themselves and act like decent human beings instead of like animals.

Here's a quote for you, just so I'm contributing.

"Sociology may have begun as the study of the effects of culture and society on the individual and vice versa, but it has been transformed into a liberalistic channel for spreading an agenda that blames society for all the wrongs in the world so that the individual no longer has to be held accountable for his or her own actions." - Me, when confronted with a teacher who tried to get us to excuse individual acts.

I'm going to have to agree with the first thing Ninmast said here, but not the second. For that psycology teacher to say that is pretty much outragous and unfounded. Humans have just about always been monogamous creatures (save for a few mormons) and that's because unlike dogs, cats, bears, and whatnot, human fathers are one of the few mammals who must actually contribute to raising the children, and it has been that way for the majority of our civilization. To say that men only need to get freaky with as many women as possible in order to "spread their seed" can only mean one thing: you're gonna be a dead-beat dad.

As for sociology, I don't know how many sociology classes you've taken, Ninmast, but I've taken enough to know that sociology almost never focuses on an individual's action, lest that action manages to change the society that person is in. It focuses its studies on groups of people and their actions, to focus on just one person is completely different, and to blame society on an individual's actions is completly baseless. Everything people do can only be be influenced by their environment (including the people who raise them: parents, friends, teachers, what-have-you), their own train of thought (meaning a mental illness might have something to do with it), and outside motivations (money, power, love, ect.) To say "I blame society" is just as much of an excuse than blaming TV, movies, video games, and some other media for what just a few people do. And another thing, "liberalistic" is not a word.

Sorry if it looks like I'm trying to derail the thread, but I've been in this arguementative mood all night seeing as how I've been finishing up this thesis due tomorrow.

[Ninmast]

Heh, not a problem. I agree with you completely. That's how sociology is supposed[/b] to be, but that wasn't what this teacher was trying to teach us. I am sure not all sociologists are like her, but my comment was directed specifically at her and the way she was trying to teach the class. She was a very, very horrible teacher. A very, very nice person, but she had no business being a teacher. On the bright side, because the individual could do no wrong, she could never dock me points whenever I pointed such things out.

And while I can understand if you dislike my use of the word, "liberalistic," I can assure you it is very much a word, found in the Random House Unabridged Dictionary, The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition, and Prinston University's WordNet, as you can see here if you wish to validate my sources. The specific definition I am using is the WordNet version:

"Having or demonstrating belief in the essential goodness of man and the autonomy of the individual; favoring civil and political liberties, government by law with the consent of the governed, and protection from arbitrary authority."

You see, a certain degree of liberalism is good, but she was trying to take it to extreme levels by saying that people are all good and thus it is the fault of outside influences that result in their unfortunate circumstances, and thus they should all be held unaccountable for both their misdeeds and their misfortunes. You were precisely right when you said it was a blame game. It's sad that these people try to twist sociology like this, but some people are trying to use it as excuses. The Blame Game is the oldest game in the world, and it is also the most immature and childish one. All they're doing is trying to come up with fancier ways of doing it so it sounds like it had intelligent merit.

Stop going off topic and argueing.

"You see, we didn't have the kind of toys you had have today. When I wanted to have fun, my parents would say, Go play in the ditch!"- EJP's Psychology teacher.

By the way, if you haven't figured it out yet, this is also a thread to post just funny quotes from my Psychology class. Not just to keep things all about psychology.

[Ninmast]

We weren't going off-topic at all, EJP. We were discussing Psychology quotes, which is the purpose of this thread. Unless you're saying this is only for YOUR psychology class.

"I hate how they're all trying to sugar coat Manic Depressive Disorder now. They're all afraid they're gonna offend us, so they start calling it Bi-Polar Disorder. I say, you're gonna offend us even more trying to sugar coat it than you would just coming out and calling it what it is!" - Me, when I first found out they were no longer even referring to it as Manic Depressive Disorder any more than it took them to mention that it was what it used to be called.
