I'll use Environmental Studies next time
I decided against English, it has it's uses :laugh:


thus implying economics doesn't have any use

oooh burnnnnnnn

*Sigh* allow me to clear everything up.

To most of the beta peasants round here studying arts or social sciences, STEM means Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics.

To us who study STEM subjects, they are a calling, a way of life, a direction for we who study them, knowing we shall go on to innovate, advance, and work for the better of tomorrow. Or at the very least find employment, which is pretty difficult for the beta non-STEM peasants. And even when they do find employment, they're either serving drinks/food or acting as do-gooders trying to improve society when they're just dragging it down.

While neither STEM subject can be argued to be superior, they can be placed in order of relative "purity" as in the diagram below. Take care to ignore Psychology and Sociology, as they are beta social sciences and a complete waste of time.

They do belong in the same category. It's a beta social science.

Wouldn't necessarily put Textiles down though. In the STEMinazi regime, those without the intellectual capability to pursue intense study of STEM subjects are put into the practical stream in which they become technicians on the factory floor level. We do need skilled workers like it or not, they'll just be studying something useful and practical rather than some pointless beta social science.


Econ and Sociology are not comparable.

Lol, some people need them not everyone
Okay this thread has served to cause some infighting within the STEMinazi faction, I'd like to maintain order and repeat that there are no superior STEM subjects, only purer ones. So enough of arguing the superiorty over Maths and Chemistry, enough of whether Engineers or mathematicians have higher salaries, I ask you to stop, that we may continue the Great War to purge the beta non-STEM faction and any deviants or sympathisers.

This agreement has been approved by the maths society. (but secretly we know we're the best)

There you go. Who the **** needs Theology? It's basically English literature - just over-analysing pieces of fictional text.

There's also Travel and Tourism, or Theatre Studies.

(I'm getting these all from a list btw, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Advanced_Level_subjects :L)

Sociology, Textiles, Economics and Music, in other words all the important subjects :colone:

How dare you compare music to sociology and textiles! :wink:

Any deviants within the maths society may be subject to re-conditioning.
