Yepyep... "Pop Sociology" at its most amusin' for peeps (people usin computers). After some consideration, I give it 2.25 stars outta 5 for sheer "edutainment value." (it lost marks for bad web design -*gag* the font & size of fonts!; scanty, sketchy/vague-as-hell descriptions of non-Christian religions and the differences within Christendom AND a tragic lack of good links to more in-depth religious websites for the truly curious seeker(s)). The field of sociology itself is somewhat divided between pro-number-crunching "sociology-as-hard-science" types and those who are more humanistic/realistic about social change. "Pop Sociology" still believes in the number-crunchers and their attempts to get a fix on constantly changing social, human facts via surveys, polls and highly undependable, even suspect, biased field studies.
