Got 27 children I never see. ~ Tom Waits
Social Taboos quotes by Tom Waits
There was this long lovely dancer in a little club downtown, love to watch her do her stuff. ~ Bob Seger
Social Taboos quotes by Bob Seger
It's two o'clock in the morning, they're not going to get any nooky anyway, so this one guy and the guy with the t-shirt guy started sniffing the girls panties. ~ Frank Zappa
Social Taboos quotes by Frank Zappa
I lay my head on the wheel and the horn begins honking, the whole neighborhood knows that I'm home drunk again. ~ George Jones
Social Taboos quotes by George Jones
They call him the Streak, he likes to turn the other cheek. He's always making the news, wearing just his tennis shoes. ~ Ray Stevens
Social Taboos quotes by Ray Stevens
What remains of the old Protestant fundamentalism is politics: abortion, gays, evolution. these issues are what binds congregations together. but even here things have changed as Americans have become more tolerant of many of these social taboos. Today many fundamentalist churches take nominally tough positions on, say, homosexuality but increasingly do little else for fear of offending the average believer, whom one schollar calls the "unchurched Harry". All it really takes to be a fundamentalist these days is to watch the TV shows, go to the theme parks, buy Christian rock, and vote Republican. The Sociologist Mark Shilbey, calls it the Californication of conservative Protestantism. ~ Fareed Zakaria
Social Taboos quotes by Fareed Zakaria
Fashion is as profound and critical a part of the social life of man as sex, and is made up of the same ambivalent mixture of irresistible urges and inevitable taboos. ~ Rene Konig
Social Taboos quotes by Rene Konig
Stopping at her house is a neighbor boy with evil on his mind, cause he's been peeking in Angie's room at night through her window blind. ~ Helen Reddy
Social Taboos quotes by Helen Reddy
I can take about an hour on the tower of power, as long as I gets a little golden shower. ~ Frank Zappa
Social Taboos quotes by Frank Zappa
She gets a hundred for her body and a nickel for her soul. ~ Alice Cooper
Social Taboos quotes by Alice Cooper
Gold will never free your father, the price, my dear, is you instead. ~ Bob Dylan
Social Taboos quotes by Bob Dylan
The type of fig leaf which each culture employs to cover its social taboos offers a twofold description of its morality. It reveals that certain unacknowledged behavior exists and it suggests the form that such behavior takes. ~ Freda Adler
Social Taboos quotes by Freda Adler
Sexual and domestic abuse are already romanticized in mainstream media without critical social commentary, if there is any commentary at all. Horror isn't there for you to consume and enjoy as a sadist, it's a radical subversion of social taboos made to literally horrify you. It's made to give you the perspective of victims who constantly have their voices silenced. ~ Christy Leigh Stewart
Social Taboos quotes by Christy Leigh Stewart
It was not by mere coincidence that sex so disturbed us for thousands of years: repressive religious dictates and social taboos grew out of aspects of our nature that cannot now just be wished away. ~ Alain De Botton
Social Taboos quotes by Alain De Botton
Rough boys I wanna bite and kiss you. ~ Pete Townshend
Social Taboos quotes by Pete Townshend
She started drinkin' we weren't thinkin' too straight, she was doing eighty slammed on the brakes. Got so hot we had to pull to the side, did some shakin' 'til the middle of the night. ~ Eddie Money
Social Taboos quotes by Eddie Money
Can't wait to show my girls he sucked the piss out of my pussy. ~ Lil' Kim
Social Taboos quotes by Lil' Kim
When I need to wipe my face, I use the back of my hand, And I like to take up space just because I can, And I use my dress to wipe up my drink. I care less and less what people think. ~ Ani DiFranco
Social Taboos quotes by Ani DiFranco
Performing on a stool, we've got a sight to make you drool, seven virgins and a mule, keep it cool, keep it cool. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Social Taboos quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
In other words, the most common problem now is not social taboos on sexual activity or guilt feeling about sex in itself, but the fact that sex for so many people is an empty, mechanical and vacuous experience. ~ Rollo May
Social Taboos quotes by Rollo May
If we can hump dead animals and antelopes, there's no reason that a man and another man can't elope. ~ Eminem
Social Taboos quotes by Eminem
In distinguishing between Islamic teachings and social taboos, we must remember that Islam forbids injustice; Injustice against people, against nations, against women. It shuns race, color, and gender as a basis of distinction amongst fellowmen. It enshrines piety as the sole criteria for judging humankind. ~ Benazir Bhutto
Social Taboos quotes by Benazir Bhutto
I didn't invent satire. I didn't come up with it. And it will continue to be a very powerful tool to disrupt political taboos and social taboos and religious taboos, because those taboos are always used to control and to curb people's way of creativity and thinking, by making them feel guilty because they want to make a change. ~ Bassem Youssef
Social Taboos quotes by Bassem Youssef
Dad's going steady with a pig in the barn. ~ Mojo Nixon
Social Taboos quotes by Mojo Nixon
Rudolf Valentino looks very much alive and he looks up ladies dresses as they sadly pass him by. ~ Ray Davies
Social Taboos quotes by Ray Davies
Give me the enchilada with the pickle sauce shoved up between the donkey's ass. ~ Frank Zappa
Social Taboos quotes by Frank Zappa
A blanket could be divided into four even parts and given to three equal people. I'd be an ideal politician, because I believe in social progress. ~ Jarod Kintz
Social Taboos quotes by Jarod Kintz
Social media has turned all of us into Dogs. The moment a single dog is unhappy with something, it starts barking, and then hundreds of others join the barking immediately. We no longer use our brains, we just join the chorus. ~ EverSkeptic
Social Taboos quotes by EverSkeptic
This was 1991, remember. We didn't have the Internet. So, as teenagers, we lived on the phone. There was no webcamming, no social networking. We dreamt simply of having our own personal phone lines one day, along with uninterrupted hours to talk, and we rarely got that. No matter who we were talking to, no matter how private the conversation, parents picked up the phone accidentally, siblings demanded their time. The introduction of call waiting made all of this even worse, as it allowed aunts and uncles and people you didn't even know to butt in. This is part of why we talked so late in the night, Lindy and I, all of us teens. This is why we looked so pale in our grunge clothes. These night hours were the only times we felt we could tell the truth without danger, the only times we could live separately from our parents while still inside of their homes. There were no cell phones. No private text messages. It was simple one on one conversation and, if it was any good at all, you had to whisper. ~ M.O. Walsh
Social Taboos quotes by M.O. Walsh
Life's not fair. It's not even, not balanced, not right. Why should relationships between people be any different? There's always going to be an imbalance in power. The other person might have a higher social standing, they might have money, or more social graces. Isn't it better to stop stressing about quid pro quo and just do what you want or what you can? ~ Wildbow
Social Taboos quotes by Wildbow
When in fact rights are not objects of social mandates, but natural extensions of existence. ~ Karry Lynn Dayton
Social Taboos quotes by Karry Lynn Dayton
Childhood is analogous to language learning. It has a biological basis but cannot be realized unless a social environment triggers and nurtures it, that is, has need of it. If a culture is dominated by a medium that requires the segregation of the young in order that they learn unnatural, specialized, and complex skills and attitudes, then childhood, in one form or another, will emerge, articulate and indispensable. ~ Neil Postman
Social Taboos quotes by Neil Postman
Contrasted to the Enlightenment ideal of a unified epistemology that discovers the foundational truths of physical and biological phenomena and unites them with an accurate understanding of humanity in its psychological, social, political, and aesthetic aspects, postmodern skepticism rejects the possibility of enduring universal knowledge in any area. It holds that all knowledge is local, or "situated," the product of interaction of a social class, rigidly circumscribed by its interests and prejudices, with the historical conditions of its existence. There is no knowledge, then; there are merely stories, "narratives," devised to satisfy the human need to make some sense of the world. ~ Paul R. Gross
Social Taboos quotes by Paul R. Gross
if the wealthiest fraction of a society feel that they can afford to insulate themselves from the common fate and buy their way out of the common institutions, that is also a form of social isolation. ~ Anthony B. Atkinson
Social Taboos quotes by Anthony B. Atkinson
Whether it's a popcorn movie or some really intellectual sociopolitical movie, I think to some degree they're all influenced by the social climate that we're living in. ~ James Wan
Social Taboos quotes by James Wan
We experience moments absolutely free from worry. These brief respites are called panic. ~ Cullen Hightower
Social Taboos quotes by Cullen Hightower
Media: Keep the adult public attention diverted away from the real social issues, and captivated by matters of no real importance. ~ Milton William Cooper
Social Taboos quotes by Milton William Cooper
the public was tired of divisive politics, tired of radical social programs. ~ John Jakes
Social Taboos quotes by John Jakes
The church is not a social club, which votes certain people in and excludes others, based on the way they look, dress, or sound. The church is not a political machine, that seeks to gain ground by voting in certain candidates and voting out others.
Too many people outside the church think that the church is nothing more than a political entity or an exclusive club that rejects "certain people" outright. Sadly, too many people within the church keep proving them right.
This must end. ~ Randall Allen Dunn
Social Taboos quotes by Randall Allen Dunn
When the time comes, & I hope it comes soon, to bury this era of moral rot & the defiling of our communal, social, & democratic norms, the perfect epitaph for the gravestone of this age of unreason should be Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley's already infamous quote:
"I think not having the estate tax recognizes the people that are investing... as opposed to those that are just spending every darn penny they have, whether it's on booze or women or movies."
Grassley's vision of America, quite frankly, is one I do not recognize. I thought the heart of this great nation was not limited to the ranks of the plutocrats who are whisked through life in chauffeured cars & private jets, whose often inherited riches are passed along to children, many of whom no sacrifice or service is asked. I do not begrudge wealth, but it must come with a humility that money never is completely free of luck. And more importantly, wealth can never be a measure of worth.
I have seen the waitress working the overnight shift at a diner to give her children a better life, & yes maybe even take them to a movie once in awhile - and in her, I see America.
I have seen the public school teachers spending extra time with students who need help & who get no extra pay for their efforts, & in them I see America.
I have seen parents sitting around kitchen tables with stacks of pressing bills & wondering if they can afford a Christmas gift for their children, & i ~ Dan Rather
Social Taboos quotes by Dan Rather
The social and economic impact of the earthquake is still very present and is contributing to mental health problems, the mother who lost her husband, or children who lost their parents, and who now are responsible for the whole family, taking children to school and providing food. This transition is still causing stress and depression. ~ Reggie Fils-Aime
Social Taboos quotes by Reggie Fils-Aime
The world when I was 13 wasn't truly driven by tabloid magazines and social media and reality shows. I was able to have a little more of a private life. ~ LeAnn Rimes
Social Taboos quotes by LeAnn Rimes
Like music and art, love of nature is a common language that can transcend political or social boundaries. ~ Jimmy Carter
Social Taboos quotes by Jimmy Carter
Let your heroes be known. Give praise and honor to those to whom it is rightly due. Spend more time posting stories about heroes than you do about the wrongs in the world. When we know about heroes and we see those who perform heroic acts, we too want to be heroes. There is a hero in all of us. Heroes are important. ~ John Patrick Hickey
Social Taboos quotes by John Patrick Hickey
It is easier to allow a few women to occupy positions of authority and dominance than to question whether social life should be organized around principles of hierarchy, control, and dominance at all, to allow a few women to reach the heights of the corporate hierarchy rather than question whether people's needs should depend on an economic system based on dominance, control, and competition. It is easier to allow women to practice law than to question adversarial conflict as a model for resolving disputes and achieving justice. It has even been easier to admit women to military combat roles than to question the acceptability of warfare and its attendant images of patriarchal masculine power and heroism as instruments of national policy. And it has been easier to elevate and applaud a few women than to confront the cultural misogyny that is never far off, waiting in the wings and available for anyone who wants to use it to bring women down and put them in their place. ~ Allan G. Johnson
Social Taboos quotes by Allan G. Johnson
They had far more in common than either realised. One was born Catholic, the other Protestant. One was born Irish, the other British. But neither was the greatest difference between them. One was born rich and the other poor. ~ Joseph O'Connor
Social Taboos quotes by Joseph O'Connor
Religion is a set of social and political institutions and spirituality is a private pursuit which may or may not take place in a church setting. ~ D. Patrick Miller
Social Taboos quotes by D. Patrick Miller
Chivalry is a poor substitute for justice, if one cannot have both. Chivalry is something like the icing on the cake, sweet but not nourishing. ~ Nellie L. McClung
Social Taboos quotes by Nellie L. McClung
George Stigler Nobel laureate and a leader of Chicago School was asked why there were no Nobel Prizes awarded in the other social sciences, sociology, psychology, history, etc. "Don't worry", Stigler said, "they have already have a Nobel Prize in ... Literature" ~ Robert Kuttner
Social Taboos quotes by Robert Kuttner
But, as in the rest of Galilee, the profits firm this increase in the means of production disproportionately benefited the large landowners and moneylenders who resided outside Capernaum: the wealthy priests in Judea and new urban elite in Sepphoris and Tiberias. The majority of Capernaum's residents had been left behind by the new Galilean economy. It would be these people whom Jesus would specifically target - those who found themselves cast to the fingers of society, whose lives had been disrupted by the rapid social and economic shifts taking place throughout Galilee. ~ Reza Aslan
Social Taboos quotes by Reza Aslan
Everything we did in the 1960s was designed to fission, to weaken faith in and conformity to the 1950s social order. Our precise surgical target was the Judeo-Christian power monolith, which has imposed a guilty, inhibited, grim, anti-body, anti-life repression on Western civilization. ~ Timothy Leary
Social Taboos quotes by Timothy Leary
I think life is a lot different for alternative kids nowadays. Texting and the internet mean that being a Goth or something means you're part of a big social scene, it's an inclusive thing. Back then, we all just went our different ways in the afterglow,wishing each other all the best with the next ten years of bullying. ~ Frankie Boyle
Social Taboos quotes by Frankie Boyle
Complementary currencies work in addition to existing money, rather than replacing existing, official money. There are whole different families of complementary currencies. One of them is local currencies. One is regional currencies. Another is functional currencies. Another is social-purpose currencies. ~ Bernard Lietaer
Social Taboos quotes by Bernard Lietaer
A culture is much more than politics. It is a national identity encompassing education, fine and popular arts and entertainment, science, physical and mental health, leisure activities, friend and family relationships, values, ambitions. . .everything that constitutes the basic shared core values of any country. In our case, the core value of individualism has been the common denominator linking all other aspects of our cultural distinctiveness; it is what makes The United States "America." Viable only where Liberty reigns, valuing the sovereignty of individuals is precisely what makes America exceptional; therefore, it is the culture that warrants attention because the actual, underlying disease invading the mental health of our country has arisen not from the government directly but from the injection of deleterious ideas into our entire individualistic social-economic system. Proposals ~ Alexandra York
Social Taboos quotes by Alexandra York
The irony of "techno-connections" is that you choose personal isolation and crave social connection through the isolating instrument. ~ J. Earp
Social Taboos quotes by J. Earp
The greatest disease of mankind is a lack of love for children, leading to their psychological and sometimes even physical abuse, which predisposes those children to a hopeless-helpless attitude and to disease later in life. We cannot keep blaming physical poisons or genetic defects for every disease. We have to realize that there are social and psychosocial poisons in our own homes that predispose us to disease by creating certain attitudes and feelings within us. ~ Bernie Seigel
Social Taboos quotes by Bernie Seigel
Liberty is an affair of laws and institutions which bring rights and duties into equilibrium. It is not at all an affair of selecting the proper class to rule. ~ William Graham Sumner
Social Taboos quotes by William Graham Sumner
No human society is too primitive to have some kind of literature. The only thing is that primitive literature hasn't yet become distinguished from other aspects of life: it's still embedded in religion, magic and social ceremonies. ~ Northrop Frye
Social Taboos quotes by Northrop Frye
Every social injustice is not only cruel, but it is economic waste. ~ William Feather
Social Taboos quotes by William Feather
The extended family, the community, and religion may indeed have limited our freedom, sexual and otherwise, but in return they offered us a much-needed sense of belonging. For generations, these traditional institutions provided order, meaning, continuity, and social support. Dismantling them has left us with more choices and fewer restrictions than ever. We are freer, but also more alone. As Giddens describes it, we have become ontologically more anxious. ~ Esther Perel
Social Taboos quotes by Esther Perel
The principle of social proof says so: The greater the number of people who find any idea correct, the more the idea will be correct. ~ Robert B. Cialdini
Social Taboos quotes by Robert B. Cialdini
Most problems are best solved privately, not through government. There's a problem of discourtesy in the world, which is best handled through social norms, which are indispensable. But you wouldn't want the government to be mandating courtesy. ~ Cass Sunstein
Social Taboos quotes by Cass Sunstein
