um, its all relative. theres a lot of engineering students who have the hardest time PASSING polisci classes. i took all the req'd calculus (5quarters), physics (4quarters), chem, etc. but i graduated with a soft-science degree (double in political science and sociology).
i do however see some kinda superiority complex among the hardscience people.. and most of 'em are usually fobs. i jus shrug it off as them being losers that have to tell themselves that theyre better than others by saying they have "tougher" classes.
