Sociologists Say Experiments Show that Looting, Crime Couldn't Have Been Bad at All

Yeah, the quote above belongs to the noted sociologist Paul Feyerabend. :smack:

That was partially a joke but it was also born out of my own experience. I went to Tulane as did my stepfather. I took Sociology 101 and when I went home for break, I mentioned to my stepfather that I liked the class but the professor seemed like a communist. He said he had one like that 25 years before. Of course, it turned out to be the same guy. The next sociology professor I had was also a communist or at least a radical socialist. These guys weren’t shy about making their views known in class. Most of the other sociology professors I have met have been roughly the same.

So you’re drawing your conclusion based on a sample size of roughly 2? And * they’re * the ones practising bad science?

Anyone taking another look at this guy’s work, now that it turns out that things actually weren’t as bad as was being reported?
