As it says on the tin, what is your main interest?

I appreciate, that your main one may not be among the ten, or that among the ten, you could have three of four that you are interested in, but what is your main one, would you say?


Thanks,


Steve

Science. Everything from astronomy to myrmecology.

Hibbies ftw!

Oh wow art is not even included.

What, no history? SACRILEGE!

Sex is missing from the list...

Music, mostly.

Music, mostly.

Politics, sciences, hockey.

Hey! Why isn't internet porn on the list?
eh?
eh?
eh?
Answer me that!

sciences are the only thing that comes close on that list, and even then not abosolutely THAT close. the kind of world we all have to live in is. that's what attracts me to the idea of simulating the running of a country. that and the roll of alternative infrastucture, particularly energy and transportion, in it. my first love, from the time i was one year old, back in 1949, has always been guideway based transportation infrastructure. my second being nature and all that goes with making the first compatable with the second in ways that would actually be doable.

every kind of artistic expression and exploration also intrests and gratifys me, especially and primarily illustrating and exploring the kind of world i would prefer to be living in (and to the degree that it is about doing so). one that didn't put trying to impress each other, nor the arbitraryness of economic and idiological intrests ahead of the kind of world we all have to.

Keeping myself and as many people around me as possible entertained.

Reading entertains me. Learning entertains me. Chess entertains me. Contact sports entertain me. Jumping in mud entertains me. Kicking people in the groin entertains me. Tackling various people, bushes, trees and furniture entertains me. Clowning entertains me. Disrupting the routine entertains me.

But my life revolves around entertainment. Let's be honest; most lives do. They just don't admit it.

Not doing anything except for the internets.

Science!

What, no history? SACRILEGE!

Sex is missing from the list...

These.

music, staying fit and Islam.

Computers.

Your mom.

And Chuck Norris jokes.

History. But since it's not up there I went with Science.

I'm double majoring in psychology and sociology because I adore both subjects. minoring in gender studies and ESL (teaching english as a second language), and I'll be taking spanish every semester until I graduate. I'm working on founding a world religion club at my university right now too. so...I guess I'm interested in the way people think and feel, particularly where that intersects with other people...(namely: relationships, sex and gender, religion, and language)

I'm interested in many things but mostly in science and I read a lot. I also watch many movies, a couple a day.

I like to know things because knowledge is power. There are too many idiots in this world who don't know shit. There minds are easily effected. They'll swallow things they hear on the news(if they watch them) or from others without questioning it. Idiots unfortunatelly have a big influence in the world and always have had.

Religion (Catholicism), politics, though I can't say I'm a huge fan of any major (or minor, for that matter) party, science, and reading.

Just curious, but how many people who read my post wikied 'myrmecolgy'?

Whoosh, a bunch of replies, so soon!

Thanks!

:fluffle:

Writing but not lyrics is my third thing next to reading and politics, in so far as those poll options are concerned.

What sort of stuff do you write, if I may ask?

And, whoops, sorry guys, I did mean to include history!

Cross Country and Track (Sport), Biology and Chem (Science), and of course my favorite... experimenting with drugs. :)

Especially mixes of cough syrup/nyquil/codeine before school....

What, no history? SACRILEGE!Indeed.

Having a good time. However I do that is up to me.

Any more...?

:)

Philosophy. Anarchism. Oh, and internet porn. :cool:

Reducing those crazy Fundies to sobbing, empty shells.

Laying the Wrath of the Lord, in the form of an extremely well reasoned and logical debate, upon the Jehovah's Witnesses when they come and attempt to convert my Catholic soul. Always a pleasent exercise on Sundays.

Working with each year's Confirmation candidates.

Playing through RPG's on my computer or the consoles.

Halo Series.

Of the choices offered my main interest would be skydiving (sport) but i'm also adding in Cabra's suggestion

Sex is missing from the list...

yes, suspiciously so.

ideas, people and things. I love mah pc gaming and music, and even my fav tv shows though.

I'm mainly interested in what goes through the mind of a person who makes a poll asking for a singular interest but allows multiple choices. I spend many hours each day investigating this but feel I am still far from an answer.

Well, reading is my main interest I guess... add to that history, politics, philosophy, art-house movies, learning languages, general internet surfing, writing, industrial music of all kinds, and whacking off....

The main one is history, though it is not on the poll :confused:
From the poll though, they are:
Psychology.
Posting on forums/the internet in general.
Reading.
Experimenting with drugs (though not excessively, obviously).
Sport (mainly football/soccer).

Not on the poll, and not really an interest, but a part time hobby:
Anarchism.
Philosophy.
Sociology.
Boozing/parties/the ladies :p (actually this is my main interest ;) )

Where is historical re-enactment and resurrecting dying arts and crafts like spinning, weaving, and burning religious dissidents at the stake?

Painting, making stuff out of duct tape, reading, writing crap, internet, basic entertainment, and cleaning/organizing.

Music...

Followed by history, probably.

Philosophy. Anarchism. Oh, and internet porn. :cool:

Ahh, how interesting....how do you reconcile the ideology of anarchism (particularly considering that anarcho-feminism is a very prominent chain of thought within the movement) with the primarily patriarchical and often exploitative nature of internet porn? ;)

Heck, with proper searching, anybody can find non-exploitative porn.
