JohnRich 4 #28 November 7, 2011 QuoteActually, what I was trying to figure out was whether or not most people in the US judge the value of a person based on what he did for a living. It's my observation that when meeting new people and engaging in conversation, one of the first questions that always comes up is; "What do you do for a living?" I find that interesting, because it's as if those people value a man's job as the most important thing about what defines them. I, on the other hand, rarely ask about work, and instead ask if they have any kids, or what they do for recreation. I think family, and what they choose to do when not working, are far better ways of getting to really know what someone is like as a person. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, I think that in today's economy and with the employment rate being what it is, outside of a business meeting, it's also a bit of a rude question.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They didn't exactly cover that aspect of their life in the movie, 300. Movies based on comic books are not exactly known for their historical accuracy Any gayness, Helot deaths and enslavment is cancelled out by Leonidas' badassness....making him not gay.

cocheese 0 #34 November 8, 2011 To tell who someone is... in seven words or less, one has to describe what that person is known for. Occupation and achievments etc help narrow it down for ya. We judge the value of a person on what they do when they aren't working. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
