Conversation Table

I found this lying on one of the tables in the dining hall and found it really amusing...

Do you agree or disagree? Think about three reasons why.

1. Women belong at home taking care of children.

2. People are animals and therefore are not monogamous by nature.

3. Teachers should not socialize with students.

4. Life in the United States is much too easy.

5. Spanking and hitting children is a form of child abuse.

6. Watching a lot of TV and rock videos can make people violent.

7. Interracial marriages should be discouraged.

8. English should be the only international language.


I can think of a million (well not a million but you get the idea) smart ones for these but I need to get back to work, so insert your own wise cracks...

  2. Well there are midterm exams. Then the fellowship case studies are coming up soon, need to finish my presentation. Looking for a job/internship for the summer. Preparing for LSE next sem. There are papers to grade and students to help for 2 different courses as a TA. Modern Algebra proofs are killing me and then there is my senior seminar in differential equations and complex numbers... does that answer your question Anusha? Sometimes I wish I was a homeless bum living on welfare. Then I realize I'm not an American citizen.

  4. Yeah Madhu, good to hear from you. Yes it has been rather long, where have you been?

    Arbythea? I've read 'em all, look forward to chapter 5. by the way I made a movie out of Chapter 1 for a film editing class. It was so much fun. I apologise for taking your permission. My room-mate from last year played Sssrth and he was awesome.

    Anusha's views...I guess some people just have the foresight!

  6. 1. Suits me!!!
    2. People are not animals and therefore are not monogamous by nature.
    3. Hmmm. I don't know. I'd LOVE to "socialize" with some of my profs ;)
    4. Bullshit. It's SCARY!
    5. Double bullshit. I don't want my kids abusing me tomorrow.
    6. Agree. But today, almost anything makes people violent.

  7. 1. Women belong at home taking care of children. [One parent should stay at home...they should flip for it, or take turns.]

    2. People are animals and therefore are not monogamous by nature. [I guess this is so, but then again how many animals devise such things as Sudoku or Philately?]

    3. Teachers should not socialize with students. [Why not?]

    4. Life in the United States is much too easy. [I had a good time way back when...]

    5. Spanking and hitting children is a form of child abuse. [Spare the rod...and you get a guy like me.]

    6. Watching a lot of TV and rock videos can make people violent. [I am living testament to the utter falsehood of this statement]

    7. Interracial marriages should be discouraged. [I know very few mixed-race people, if any. Anglo Indians are damn sweet though, aren't they?]

    8. English should be the only international language. [It altready is.]

  8. TV and music videos make people violent? Not all that likely.On the other hand,the utter and complete stupidity of the world around us at times...much more of a possibility.

    When do your exams get done, anyway?
