this is something we've actually had to read about for sociology (in "How Will the Internet Change Society?")

so...yes these guys are all rather clear, yet in some ways not. and i thought we could discuss them or use them to be utterly, rivetingly silly.

first, decorum and professional discussion:
:rolleyes:
I find this character to look glum, thoughtful, eye-rollingly insolent, and perhaps confused.

i think they would be funny in nursery rhymes though. which are often pretty weird, after all.

this could be
little jack horner, who sat in a corner,
eating his curds and whey.
he stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum
- see - :smash:
and said what a good boy am i.


:D

yeah i just logged back on because i realized that

writing a paper on the political system of genesis and exodus should not be mixed with writing on this fourum!

and i'd meant to write about the ambiguity of smilies/emoticons but my brain was apparent.ly in slow mo.

plus staying up reading a second book for soc. until the wee hours was really stupid considering only one's required for the book review and this paper is due wednesday.

so i've decided g & e were oligarchic, have wondered why aquinas put a negative spin on oligarchy in his letter to the king of cyprus, and am desperately trying to muster up interest in the political system in use over 2000 years ago before 8 am wednesday because i am about this :cold: interested in it
