I am a sociologist by schooling, so I thought that article was interesting. Hoped others would, too.

I won't repeat it on the forum, but I LOLed at the retort after he complimented the men on their ties

Reminds me of a joke.

Regional differences on compliments.

"Hey, nice haircut."

Southerner - "Why thank you!"

Northerner - "**** YOU, what's wrong with it?!"

Fascinating field; we are such an intriguing animal with our tangled masses of insecurities, neurosis, quirks, hopes, and skewed perceptions creating an endless range of seemingly baffling behaviors. One of my favorite subjects!

I loved the theory classes- not so much the practical classes. Most of my classmates wanted to get the Masters of Social Work and do that for a living. Didn't interest me at all. I was the guy discussing different ideas and theories with my prof before, during, and after class. I want to be a professor eventually.

That's funny.
