POPSThe father of Sociology suggests it is not a science From article: That’s it! That is basis for the whole sociological dictatorship. Suggest problems for emotional involvement and demand the intellect devise social solutions. It can turn any personal problem into a social problem, a social problem into a national problem, and a national problem into an international problem belonging to all humanity. Social science treats life as a series of problems for ‘society’ or united ‘Humanity’ to solve. When all the problems the social scientists can concoct from any part of the world become social problems for the WORld Management System (WORMS) to solve, the sociological dictatorship will be complete. The basic tactic for turning personal problems into social problems is to promote otherism. To be otheristic one must abandon all thought of self and think constantly of the problems of others.

POPSVerizon Doesn't Know Difference Between Dollars and Cents This is a recording of a man who was quoted a rate of .002 cents per kilobyte for voice & data transfer on his cell phone. It turns out the actual rate is .002 DOLLARS. He calls Verizon intending to get his bill corrected (after all, Verizon provided the wrong quote) but he spends 20 minutes trying to explain the difference between .002 CENTS and .002 DOLLARS to TWO customer service reps. This one of the funniest and most aggravating things I have heard.
