You would probably like him. My favorites are his "alienated labor" theory and "commodity fetishism" theory. Look it up and have a read.

It's not a "hard" science, but it is the study of society. Hence, "sociology." It makes no claim to be a science.

Bullshit Not one of these fucking losers has made a single cent less because Derek Jeter gets paid 20 million a yearQuote:
Apparently it costs taxpayers $730 for each Walmart worker just in healthcare, and another $1,222 in other forms of government assistance such as food stamps: http://laborcenter.berkeley.edu/retail/walmart.pdf
I got an idea. The government stops giving them anything at all. Wages will rise. Welfare subsidizes low wages and encourages bums to have children they can't support.

Besides, how do you propose we study sociology in a more scientific way? Their methodologies in their studies are statistically devised to be as accurate as possible.

sociology isn't a science, but politics is... 
horrible how concepts can be simply boiled down into etymological forms and called "not this/not that" if only for their wording.
"science", in this case, should be only considered as the study of physical things interacting, and not ideas or concepts interacting.
to be fair. otherwise, the words simply don't hold any water with their definitions.

Sociology is the systematic and scientific study of society, including patterns of social relationships, social action, and culture. Its a social science mane

The two are about the same in terms of scientific application. Which is pretty good, considering it's the study of human structure and organization.

Welfare subsidizes employers who pay low wages when their employees don't have to hold out for more money.

well, i'd agree.
it's just that for someone to simply say "sociology isn't a science" because of how it's worded, is silly.
the study of things can considered a science.
otherwise, the only "true science" can be between physical things like chemical interactions and anatomy.
which is just simply not true, to begin with. but to treat it as such is very annoying.

And it worked?? He never got caught? They never had an investigator bother to analyze his signature, or view store surveillance?
The first woman he tried it with on the phone started becoming suspicious of his story and when she tripped him up in questioning he just hung up on her and called back, got a ditz and she never questioned any of it. He got all the money back and to my knowledge never heard a word about it again, but I haven't talked to him in years. He ended up bailing before the lease was up and fucked me on the rent, even though I knew one phone call to his parents could have paid his way out of the agreement. As you said, a real class act.

Oddly enough you live in a structure. I can go 5 miles in any direction and find communities that are completely and irrevocably different from mine, different mores, different traditions, different lifestyles. Almost nothing in common, both up and down on the income scale. There is no society.

If I recall welfare was created to supplement low wages, not the other way around. What is the economic incentive for companies to start paying more simply because welfare is gone?

If anything, this is an argument proves that societies are real.
