Don't ask Mr. Popo.

It depends on what level and what you are philosophizing about. A Phd. course on Marketing philosophy is totally different to an entry level "let's talk about shit" course.

Good enough, mission accomplished.

True. The course is called "Contemporary Moral Issues", so it sounds more like let's talk about shit, but namely contemporary shit.

I need to get another course in for the fall semester and I want to fit in a fine art/humanity (there should be wine tasting or something), as I'm pretty much packed up on heavy content courses. Philosophy sounds a lot more intriguing and enriching than art, religion, theatre, pointless 101, etc. I'm guessing it will be heavy on writing and research though, which I am not really wanting to get into this semester.
I once took a combo philosophy/film studies course that looked at writers like Nietzsche and Sartre and examined their influence on film noir. It was very interesting, but there was definitely a lot of reading involved (I'm talking 50 page reading assignments). I also took a Religion In Film course that involved philosophy and that was cool too. If you don't mind the heavy reading, there are worse electives you could pick.
I'm not a glitch, I just have pixlexia.

How arrogant. I hope whoever donated becomes the laughing stalk of whatever club they decided to 'work their moves' in. The pick up lines in that book are probably hilarious.

The sad thing is, I know some dumb broad out there is going to fall for this crap.
I'm here for your body.

Worst excuse for being late to a meeting ever:

"I apologize for being late as I bought shadow boxes for a few Atari games, then started writing jokes about Pop-Tarts and lost track of time" - Me


I'm not done with either the boxes nor jokes, but they are coming along:
