I heart stupidity. When you see it, post it here. I'll start.

Some of you know that I've do some teaching of first year sociology students in university. I really enjoy it, and love my students, but -GAWD- grading their work is a nightmare.

Through the course of a year, they have to write short essays on a range of topics ---feminism, Karl Marx, education, Freud, crime, etc. I feel kinda guilty laughing at these because of course they are writing under extreme pressure, but holy bobo I find them funny! Every so often, they write something so frickin' hysterical that it makes me gag laughing. These fleeting gems, I collect. Thought y'all might get a kick out of some of them.

Here we go. (nb, all typos and grammar boo boos are theirs from here on, not mine)

"Education is not really as old as many people think. It all came about in
the 1960s when the Russians were more advanced with outerspace."

"There is no evidence of women in society until the late 1990s"

"Freud is the classic theory of gender he believes the boy has the penis the girl has the clitoris simple as that"

"Freud said that a boy who plays too many dolls might be a p_ssy in later life"

"Feminists think women are the lowest of the low"

"Education is bias it only works for children who come from families where the parents are rich white and male"

"Hitlar believed in the destroying the Jews, however, his dictation only lasted until he was alive, after it was forgotten."

"Weber saw society from his eyes"

"someone from the low class is no good to us. we don't see them as nonsuccessful. That is because of sociology"

"Max Weber is a known and accredited sociologist"

"All around us in our society it is, said to be all around us these 'bureacracy' for example God is higher than Jeesus. The boss."

Okay, so I don't know what it is about final exams that REALLY brings out the stupid in people, but I've been marking, and I have SO much evidence of this phenomenon right now.

Here's what the current crop of first-year sociology students have to say about things. They were asked questions dealing with the family, crime, social inequality, race and ethnicity, feminism and media/globalization. Any typos from here on in are theirs, not mine :)

Unlike other countries like the U.S., one aspect of Canada consensual values is that we are allowed to marry anyone of another ethnicity, we are okay with misengination.

Most families today are not even married to each other.

Feminists believe that women should continue to take our domestic roles because the men, even the gay ones, are not willing to surrender to a non-macho housewife.

Marx saw Native Canadians as alcohol abusers.

In all the world of inequalities, there are many to choose from, including ones that are not really there.

Coke-asian couples had a different perspective.

Most people who are minorities have little or no money even though their gas stations or whatever might be successful.

Some people come from families. Some families are nuclear families, some are just unclear families. Some people come from minority groups. However they are both part of our Canadian society.

Males may complain that they do not get enough of sexual gratification. Unlike women, who think they get more than enough.

The modern world is smothered in ideas.

In the Marx view, the family helps to support the worker because his children and his wife take care of his food needs and sexual fantasies. Capitalism needs him to be relaxed. All this is provided from his wife and children.

There were always differences in marriage about little things like who will sweep the floor and who will maul the lawn?

Bikers want authority and think they're standing up for what they believe in, so they bike. Same with prostitutes.

(con't)

Women do most of the nurturing in every culture. Example in Canada. She takes the young to soccer. But maybe in Asia she takes the young to Kung-Fu.

Farley goes on to say that hardcore sex is much better than softcore because it is just about sex, whereas in softcore you bring in the emotions, cars and jewelery, which often leads to distress.

In most homes, males are the dominant species.

The family has a pretty big unit.

The reporter's name was Daniel, but the police even checked his aliacces, 'Danny' and 'Daniel'.

People who have low incomes are always known to be poor and have no extra "spending money".

...society has grown up in such a way that they have made the white men the dominant ones. They are the owners of many stores.

Even if u are Muslim-Chinese, or Polish immigrant, if u really want sumthin in life u can can go 4 it and go after it and get it. In Canada anyway.

(*but the winner is*)

The capitalist capitalism needs more workers, so the male worker has to go home to their wives and have sex until a male child is born.
