New quotes!

All quotes from the Sociology class forum again. The first part from a discussion board about Art.

1)
"Just like some western people is thinking why Japanese can't wait till the fishes to get cook and eats it straight after cutting, and Japanese are willing to splash their cash on those raw things. This so maybe eating raw fish is a kind of art, is just that some people in this world don't appreciate it."

My favourite part: "...and Japanese is willing to splash their cash on those raw things." Hahaha! This certainly reveals the writer's opinion of sushi!

2)
"As we know, in ancient time, there was Edvard Munch. One of his works, there is "The Scream". "

3)
"But still I’m a Traditional Art Maniac. I love PICASSO!!"
Dear Traditional Art Maniac, Picasso is Cubist, not traditional...

4)
"Make up, graceful movements, fashion styles, coke can bottles, flyers, and even the squash-up papers we throw in the rubbish bins...these are all forms of art."
So I'm accidentally an artist every time I throw away one of those annoying flyers...?

And the last part is on the topic of music, discussions about downloading etc.

5)
(...)"But i have to say i would rather spare my time and easily download my music off line :)"
...Download offline?!?

6)
"(arguments). On the other way, (... more arguments.)"
um... on the other hand...?

"I think downloading is an inevitable future for film and music industry, it is like a mission impossible which would take more than 10 Tom Cruises to solve."
That's at least 9 Tom Cruises too much for the world...

8)
"In my country if you walk through the pedestrian of the capital or the big city (...)"
Poor urban pedestrian!

ADDITIONS!
(topic: 'Internet restrictions' & 'cellphone use on the train')
9)
"In rash hour, salary man is reading newspaper or sleeping actually."
I certainly don't want to take the train in rash hour...

10)
"I have been residing in many online communities since I was 10 (...)"
...

11)
"It's like ridiculous the people who are controled by High-tech staffs."
Yes, hilarious!

12)
"By reading with a mobile in the train is not a problem. It makes to become quite and relexed to people in the train and any disturbance on someone."

13)
"However, it is difficult for people to restrict the use of cell phone, as well as me."
Some people can be quite unruly.

14)
"Don't you feel that the world is flat now? the border itself doesn't seem real."

Hi there, why anonymous?

Choose OpenID or Name/URL next time and just type a nickname in the box for username.

Full name or url is not necessary, I'd just like to know (or get an idea of) who's around:)
