The concept of personhood (who is a person within a society) is the fundamental component of any selective concept of people. A distinction is maintained in philosophy and law between the notions "human being", or "man", and "person". The former refers to the species, while the latter refers to a rational agent (see, for example, John Locke's Essay concerning Human Understanding II 27 and Immanuel Kant's Introduction to the Metaphysic of Morals). Central issues of interest to people are the understanding of the human condition and the meaning of life, and survival. Religion, philosophy, and science show or represent modes and aspects of inquiry which attempt to investigate and understand the nature, behavior, and purpose of people. Sociology, economics, and politics represent modes by which people investigate how to maximize a collective survival strategy.

Why are people too lazy to use oil paint?
Q. Why are so many people too lazy to use oil/Alkyd paint? Really, washing your hands and brushes with a bit of Varsol is not a terrible chore. Or here si an idea...toss the god damed brush, they are cheap and not really reusable anyways. Alkyd paint is so much nicer, its thick, water proof, better adhesion, and less prone to wear from foot traffic? Why are people too lazy to wash with varsol and too delicate to handle the fumes? Dont you want your paint job to last? Oh, and on the same note, why are so many people too lazy to prime? I do this kind of work on and off, and it never ceased to amaze me how lazy people are and how much shoddy work they do out of being lazy.

A. its called instant gradification , i want to be able to clean it fast and easy...and i dont want to have to wait for it to dry... thats boring...so what if i have to do it again in 2 years i probably wont like that color by then anyhow. its simply that people dont want quallity anymore, they want it quick, fast, and in a hurry! im with you on this one but with me it goes much deeper...there are no such things as craftsman out there any more. " ive done that once, so now im an expert" dumb-a$$e$... sorry got carried away...yes plain lazy is deffinitely the way to go in this wonderful world, that are hard-working, quallity giving, pride wearing, true craftsmen, fore-fathers gave to us...i for one of many are on your side...

Do people understand the difference between LOCAL and FEDERAL government?
Q. I see people on here that rant on and on about health care justifying it by having schools, firefighters, police etc. Do people realize that these are at the local and state level and NOT the federal level. When me town talks about the police, firefighters and schools (which I might add we are an independent school here) we do it at the city council meeting and the people in the town decide what to do, not some Washington bureaucrat.

How many people hate people who smoke weed but never tried it yourself?
Q. Just wondering, it seems the only people who hate it are the people who haven't tried it.
Asked by Davey C - Thu Jan 28 00:06:56 2010 - - 10 Answers - 2 Comments

A. I agree. A LOT of people against it have never had any real life experience with it. They are basing their opinion on propaganda, or blaming the troubles of a loved on who is an addict of some harder drug on marijuana (there is a troll around here who makes posts often about hating marijuana and people who use it... i have found out over several posts that he lost someone close to hard drug addiction, and he blames marijuana because it was the first illegal drug the person had used). I think a lot of people should be more open to marijuana. I get that some people may not like it or want to use it, but to go to the point where they literally think less of a person because they use it, or they hate a person because they use it, I think… [cont.]

Quotes about people

Sourced

  • A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals, and you know it.
  • Show me a man or a woman alone and I'll show you a saint. Give me two and they'll fall in love. Give me three and they'll invent the charming thing we call 'society'. Give me four and they'll build a pyramid. Give me five and they'll make one an outcast. Give me six and they'll reinvent prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they'll reinvent warfare. Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get back home.
    • Glen Bateman, The Stand (C&U), 3rd paragraph of Chapter 42, by Stephen King
  • I judge people by what they might be,—not are, nor will be.
  • The people will live on. The learning and blundering people will live on.
    • Carl Sandburg (1878–1967), American poet. The People, Yes (1936)
