The Soviet Union failed because they weren't a true socialism, and because of America. And did you read what I just said? People who don't work don't get money.
Which is what puzzles me from a previous statement of yours.
You wanted to give money to homeless people instead of advance science
Yes. I would rather support humanity than support science.
Supporting science supports humanity indirectly, advances in agriculture made food cheaper allowing more people to afford it.

Science has advanced or medical procedures and capabilities, our ability to produce cheaper and higher quality foods, allow for better living conditions...the list could go on for a few volumes of books

The subjects make good minors or side-majors. They enrich other majors.

I'm majoring in liberal arts currently and there are many jobs you can get with it. It covers a little bit of everything; math, science, english, music, art, psychology, nutrition, sociology, religion, etc.

I've learned a crapload of stuff due to majoring in this field and anyone who says it's hard to find a job with it don't know -blam!- about it. It is hard if you're trying to be something like a painter or some -blam!-, but if you do something promising, then it shouldn't be a problem.

It's funny because I'm pretty sure the majority of people here aren't even IN college, yet give certain majors -blam!- when they aren't even currently in ANY major.

I think that Science and Humanities are equal, and that, when you try to isolate one of them, it usually leads to something bad happening. They complete each other. Humanities will teach us how to care for each other and teach us how we ought to do things, but without science, we won't be able to achieve or put our ideals into practice. They'll just remain useless ideals. On the other hand, Science without Humanities will advance technology, but we won't know how to use those advancements in a positive way that will be useful for society unless we study Humanities for the guidance.

I agree with the medicine part. Probably the only good that has come out of science. "Higher quality foods"? Hell no. You can't get higher quality than food that comes from nature.

um, yeah you can. We can genetically engineer plants to have more nutrients, desirable traits, and more resistant to diseases

It's amazing how utterly opposed American culture seems to be to the idea of going to university to enrich understanding, knowledge, and perspective as opposed to just getting a fatter pay cheque.

It might be because of the insane amounts of money you guys have to pay for a degree though. It might force you to see it as a financial investment rather than a holistic one.

Just...wow. Do you really believe that GMOs are better than natural, organic food?

Clearly all of the advances in agriculture and food science have been for nothing.

Because being sort of alright at a lot of useless things is bull-blam!-.

Do that -blam!- in your own time.


Lol. Biology isn't useless. Psychology isn't useless. Physics isn't useless. Mathematics isn't useless. Chemistry isn't useless. Writing and english aren't useless.

And really? People should learn all that stuff on their own time? Isn't that what college is for in the first place? You're an idiot.

Next bull-blam!- reason please since your claim that Liberal Arts is useless has been destroyed.

We're talking about changes to the food itself.

How about you stop being an indecisive prick and gain a real understanding of a subject, instead of a load of wishy washy crap.


I see that you totally dodged what I said and are reiterating the same garbage. I'm not going to waste my time with you since you don't know what you're talking about, but the bottom line is; spending an entire semester (4 1/2 months+) on a subject isn't "wishy washy" at all, and is more than enough time to grasp a subject.

I bet you're not even in college yet, I bet you're still in high school.

1/10 for getting me to reply.

What?! Biology, physics, mathematics and chemistry are not "liberal arts"! They are the proper sciences (not "social sciences" and all that rubbish) - biology and organic chemistry are natural sciences and physics, mathematics and physical chemistry are physical/mathematical sciences; none of them can ever be defined as bloody "liberal arts".

In the long run, yes I do. Whats the point of not using them if half the world depends on the USA for corn and other crops. We could not support the rising population without them. It would be impossible
