Default My rant for the day...

I am taking a Sociology and Anthropology class, and if you don't know already Soca deals with people of other cultures. The class is one of those lecture classes with 100+ kids and about 90% of them are freshmen.

Today we were watching a movie called Dead birds filmed in the 60's in New Guinea about a local tribe. It was 3 parts but we were gonna watch only 2. When the first part got done most of the class was like "Do we have to watch the other one, its so boring."

Thats when I got really mad. If you don't wanna learn about other cultures then why the f*ck did you take this class. Its like people find it amusing that some cultures have wierd traditions and yet get offended when someone mentions that what they think is normal seems strange to others. I really wonder sometimes whether there should be a mental age test for kids before they are sent to college or sent to join the work force because there are a lot of people out there that are mentally still 3 years old.

End of rant, I guess I am the wierd one that really wants to learn more about this world that what goes on inside these 4 walls.
