First Blog for Sociology- Spring 2011

If you were to have dinner with a well known person--entertainer, politician, athlete or business person, who would you choose? Why would you choose that person?

You must make a choice, and remember to include why you selected that person.

    I would want to meet Michelle Duggar. I believe she is a great person and great mother. I believe how she is raising her kids is great. I see nothing wrong with her belief system and God has provided her with lots of love and care. I support her and her family. I would love to be able to know Michelle and Jim Bob personally.

    I love the fact that Megan chose Michelle Duggar as she is also the same person I would invite to dinner. She inspires me so much on how to be a Godly wife. My husband loves to watch the Duggars with me and it actually causes us to have conversations about Godly marrages. Michelle and Jim Bob understand their roles not only as Godly men and women, but as husband and wife, and mother and father. I would love to sit with them and just soak up their knowledge. The most wonderful part of them is their humbleness. I am sure that if I told them I wanted to Learn their ways they would simply hand me a bible and tell me to read. It is so true. My husband and I goto an amazing church. The two of us watch other christians like our paster, and other christians in our small groups. We apply what we learn from them and what we read in scripture to become more Christ like everyday

    I would choose to have dinner with Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft and one of the wealthiest people in the world for over a decade. Being a computer enthusiast myself, I would love the opportunity to pick his brain over any business or educational advice.

  4. Normally I would respond to this question by saying that I would want to meet a successful business person to pick their brain on why they feel they are so successful. However, this week I am at a point where I just need a good laugh, so I pick Russell Brand! I think he is hilarious and would be a good dinner partner for a night of fun and frivolous conversation!!!!

    I have never had a need to blog. I have never done so but here we go! I would choose Margaret Mitchell. I would love to know what would have happened in book 2 of Gone With The Wind. Would Scarlett and Rhett get back to gether. Also how hard it was, back in the day, to be a female writer in a mans world. What would her reaction be today as to the sucess of Gone With The Wind the novel and the movie?

    As to the other comments of Michelle Duggar I would just cut through all the middle men and go straight to Jesus. He can tell you exactly what you need to do and to change. Question is are you listening?

    My person i would like to meet would be Mariah Carey :D.Ive always liked her voice and tried hard to model it when i was younger but could never reach her voice range. She has had a looong lasting career and great voice. When I was younger ive always dreamed of being a singer and performing with her on stage, but i guess that wont be happening now as i am in a different profession in the criminal justice feild. For now i will just sing to my kids :D But i picked her becasue whenever i feel a certain way or just want to sing, i always pick her music and find that her voice is something ive always admired.

    I would love to have dinner with Franklin D Roosevelt. I would like to ask him how he thinks our country can get out of the economical state we are in now. If I could invite two people I would have President Obama join us.

    I let my daughter watch Gone With the Wind for the first time yesterday. She is five and loved Scarlett. I really love that this movie and book can still be loved by the next generation.

    If I could have dinner with anyone it would probably be Oprah. Not only is she a black female but she is also very smart. It is good to see someone who was not born with money to accomplish what she has done. Everyone thought her show was big and popular, but she did not stop there she now has her own channel in my opinion I would love to sit down with her.

    The person I would select to have dinner with would have to be The Dalai Lama. Not only for his spiritual enlightenment, but to pick his brain about so many of today's issues and current events. He has traveled the world over a few times and must have some amazing insight in to many different cultures and religions. Also having traveled to some of the most interesting places and met some of the most intersting world leaders.

    I would choose to have dinner with Jesus. I would cherish the opportunity to sit face to face with Him and learn more about His mercy and grace. I would love to hear how he wants us to be more loving and forgiving like Him. I would just sit quietly and listen to Him.

    If I had the opportunity to invite any famous person to dinner, I think I would invite John Mayer. Not only is he an incredible singer/songwriter, he also has a hilarious sense of humor. His sarcasm and playfulness is so funny and I feel like dinner with him would be extremely entertaining. It also doesn't hurt that he's so cute ;)

    I can appreciate the fact that Michelle and Jim Bob are so faithful to each other and to God, but I personally don't agree with their styles of parenting. First, I believe it is important for children to experience school in a social, public setting. Also, as much as I like the show, it seems like the older kids do more of the child-raising than the actual parents do.

    If I could have dinner with a well known person it would have to be Britney Spears. She is a very talented artist who I have idolized since the start of her career. I think that she is very misunderstood and I would love to just have a conversation with her and get to know the person behind the performer. Just like any other person, I bet she is down to earth and nothing like people portray her!

    If I had an opportunity to have dinner with a well known person it would be Michael Jackson(if he was still alive). Michael was and still is definitley the "king of pop" and the one artist that is known worldwide. He's had such a huge impact on many people's lives through his music. The talent that man had is something no artist can ever compete with. He was/is truly one of a kind!


    In response to having dinner with the Duggars, I would have to agree with Caitlin L. I think they are amazing people in all aspects except one. I understand that there are 19 kids between two parents and how difficult that can be but I do not agree with having the older kids practically raise the younger ones.

    If I could have dinner with my favorite artist, it would be Adam Young, also known as "Owl City". His music makes me so happy when I listen to it mainly because he feels no need to reference drugs and sex in his music. I can tell from his music he has a very pure heart, and that makes me idolize him. He is also completely adorable, which is a definite plus! I would ask him where his inspirations come when he is writing his music and where does he see himself in ten years because I am curious what he would say.

    I would have to agree with what you said about Britney Spears. I am nineteen and grew up when she was becoming the big teenage pop star. I do not agree with everything Britney has done, but I do acknowledge fame changes people. I understand she has people around her all the time, reporting on every thing she does and I would go crazy every once in awhile too. I would love to sit down with her and talk to her about how she feels about people constantly on her, but that may just be the future psychologist in me!

  24. After thinking about all of the famous people that there is in this world and the many different options that I could have available. There is only but ONE that I would like to have dinner with. One that loves me no matter what I have done in the past, one that has compassion and a forgiving soul,one that bears my burdens on a daily basis,one that gave his life, the ultimate sacrifrice, for me. My Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The dinner would be only one sided though, because I would want to be serving and praising him. Being in the present of his Glory would be satisfying enough for me, even without any verbal communication.

    Mr. Tommy H. I don't know if I could just sit there and not ask any questions. Where should I start. Why did you create us? Did you work six days straight night and day, and did it only take the seventh day to regain your strength? Do you think the sacrifice of your son for our sins is still worth it being that some of us still have not learned to be righteous.

    Megan...I have to comment on your choice of Mrs.Duggar. The fact that I know who this lady is...is strange. However my wife admires this lady as well. It took a while for me to actually muster up the courage to spend quality time with my wife watching a show on TLC! However I am pleased that there are people like the Duggars out there. I respect that they are icons in a society where Snooki is viewed as cool. All in all...wonderful choice.

    If I were to have dinner with anyone I would have to dine with John Lennon. It's a given that The Beatles would be a topic of discussion, but John Lennon as a man is what intrigues me. He was a revolutionary, a world renowned icon, a heroin addict, a politcal advocate, and a believer in love and peace. For a man who never made it past 40 years old, he demonstrated such amazing qualities, and had quite a story to tell. I don't feel that I would aim to gain anything from my encounter with Mr.Lennon, but I know I would be enriched by the experience. I would have to meet with him at some dusky ol' pub in Liverpool, hob nob over frothy pints of ale amidst the clouds of cigarette smoke,and conversationally travel across the universe with a man that lived an utterly infatuating life.

    You do realize that by asking Mr.Obama those questions you would be blown away at his answers. He would simply win you over by his utter concern for your question. You might even consider giving the guy some credit and the benefit of the doubt.

    However there is a great chance there will be nobody there to serve you for dinner since they have been laid off. The taxes on the food would be more expensive than the meal itself, and the conversation would be a lie.

    I would love to have dinner with Leonardo da Vinci. I think it would be great to tell him about the future. I'm sure he would get a kick out of learning technology finally caught up to his imagination.

    While you guys are having dinner with Bill Gates ask him about da Vinci's book Codex Leicester that he bought at auction in 1994 for the measly price of $30.8 million, making it the most expensive book that's ever sold. At least he's nice enough to put in on display once a year in a different city around the world. Oh and ask Bill Gates if he wants to buy this blog entry from me for 2 million.

    Teri , Robin Williams, would be a great choice to have dinner with one evening. The entire night would be filled with laughter and probably a moment or two of near choking episodes. I would have to believe if he were to be his normal comedian self,everyone present would be rolling in floor and would have sore ribs the next day, from laughing so hard. Nah-noo Nah-noo

    Thank you very much, but I do not want to take any credit for it. My faith in Christ moves me so much to the core that He is often what comes out in conversation. It is said many times but seems so hard to understand to call yourself a "CHRISTIAN" it means that you are "CHRIST LIKE"...I am simply a sinner that struggles everyday to simply live up to what Christ wants me to be...On a funny note...Thank God (litterally) for his son's sacrifice or otherwise I would be in big trouble!! lol

    I think I would choose to have dinner with President Obama. I would love to have the conversation with him about where the economy went wrong, how we could improve, and generally find out how he feels about various subjects...it would be a very though provoking conversation. I would love to invite former President Clinton, former President Carter, and former President Bush (father). These men could really add many dimensions to this conversation. I would enjoy dropping party politics and just focusing on the issues and the people affected.

    In response to Alton P.... although we want to talk to the same person you seem to have less faith in him than I do. I commend you for wanting to have that conversation with him, to ask him why, and listen to his answers. I suspect that he is trying but many Presidents find it more difficult to put forward their agenda than they imagined before getting the job. Maybe we would both learn a lot from that conversation.

    I'm going with Bobby Cox, as I am a huge baseball fan, and more importantly a BRAVES fan. I know he has some stories of the good ol' days when Chipper, Smoltz, Glavine, and Maddox were in the clubhouse together. I can see dinner going well, with a few laughs and some shared memories. I think Bobby would be a pleasure to have dinner with, as he could teach me a little about the game, and a little about life as well.
    GO BRAVES!!!

  44. I would probably choose Sarah Palin. Even though many people don't like her and don't think she is a good politician. She is a very strong woman - not afraid to speak her mind, to make a stand for what she believes in. Even though I consider myself a strong individual - I hate confrontation and bringing up anything controversial, just because I don't want to rock the boat.

    That is ironic that you mention Leonardo da Vinci, I just hung one of his drawings in my apartment today. How talented he was just astounds me, and even beyond it with his inventions.

    I would choose Wendy Williams because I am very particular about who I associate myself with and the fact that we both love celebrity gossip. She also appear to one who says what is on her mind instead of lying to protect your feelings, but yet sensitive to them at the same time. I do not like to be friends with someone who do not tell the truth to spare your feelings. That is a person I feel I can't trust.

There will never be another player better than Michael Jordan in the NBA ever.

    I would have to agree and have dinner with Michael Jackson if he was alive.

    I would like to have dinner with President Obama and Congress tonight to give them a piece of my mind and discuss how rediculous and selfish they are being by not coming to an agreement for the fiscal year budget. Just because they are unable to come to an agreement hundreds of thousands of Americans will be out of a job due to a government shut down, which will include myself and my father, who are both federal employees. They may be able to handle a shut down because they are comfortable in their money situation but for myself and the average american we will not be able to pay our bills. Which in turn will cause another fall in the economy.

    In response to Youlinda J. I have met and hung out with Wendy Williams before she became the "Wendy Williams" that the whole world knows. Wendy Williams is a "tell it like it is" person and many people in the NY, NJ and Conn. area are not fond of her because back in the day before it was popular to gossip about celebrities dirty laundry she keep it real with her radio audience and paid the ultimate price for it. And her comeback from that has been even greater. Personally I love Wendy Williams, she is and has always been a refresher from the other closed mouth, scared to speak jocks on radio now.

    I would love to meet Dr. Oz! Medicine fasinates me! However, the reason I would choose him over any other doctor is because he knows how to "dumb it down" so to speak. It's not that I don't get the information but the way he talks about the human body in some of his books, has away of making perfect sense. For example he compares the human body to a house. The nervous system being the power and the heart being the plumbing. When you correlate heavy material to something very common like he does, the information just seems to stick. Furthermore I would just like to sit and be a sponge because the more knowleadge I can soak up the better nurse I will be.

  59. In Response to Kathy S . . . I listened to an interview with him on the radio the other day. I I think a dinner date with him... and someone else (totally awkward and a little sketch just us two) would be nothing short of interesting. If I could get past his very different accent enough to listen what he actually is saying, I think i would be fancinated. He's been through the crazy day in his life and changed himself for the better. It's pretty inspiring.

    How can we really pick just one person for this? At first I thought about an actor, like Gary Oldman, or what about God, or the president? To be honest Mr. LaPorte I also thought about inviting Bruce Wayne. What about family members who have passed, my brother, or my grandfather? Then I wondered about myself. What would I do if I met me? Would I like me? I'd like to find that out but I must remind myself that this person has to be famous. So, with that in mind I suppose I would want to have dinner with Billie Joe Armstrong, I need to ask him a favor. But if for some reason he couldnt make it I guess Winona Ryder, you never know, I might have a shot :)

    I'm not really all for having dinner with anyone REALLLLLL important, but I guess if I really wanted to meet a famous entertainer over dinner it would have to beeee...Dane Cook. I know that many people find his humor...loud and obnoxious. But I like his humor a lot actually. It fits my humor and I have a feeling we really wouldn't be eating as much as we would be cracking jokes and laughing our faces off. It would be quite an enjoyable evening.

    I would also like to comment on meeting with the Duggar family. I personally feel that show takes women back to the days when women were good for nothing other than having babies. Women have fought to long and hard to have a place in society and are still fighting to be seem as an equal to men. I think that show tells not only women they are beneath men but it also shows young girls tha the only purpose they have in life is to bare children. The man according to society is supposed to take care of the family. When does the husband on that show ever go to work???

Most people have certain aspects of themselves that they don't really understand, some people do not even know themselves completely. I think being able to have dinner with yourself would be a great idea to get to know yourself.

    If I were to have dinner with a well known person it would have to be Oprah Winfrey. I am so enamored with her because she is an advocate for children and I am as well. I too dream of someday opening my own school and she has already done that. She is such a gracious person, she never takes anything or anyone for granted. She donates millions unselfishly and uses her fame and fortune to help others. The school that she opened up in Africa is so well needed!

    I like Dr. Oz too! I watch his show sometimes and I love the way he uses concrete examples to describe what is going on in the body. I also like the way he uses audience members to participate in games and experiments. All of his shows are very informative and those are the kind of shows we need if we want to get america moving in a healthy direction.

I love the way he cared about the world and how he used his success to try to create change in society. I think he had a very peaceful and loving aura and I identify with that a lot so I would love to talk with him about his ideas that he never go to finish and what he would say about the world today. It would be really interesting to see what he would have to say. I am always interested in his interviews and stuff about him. I think he understood sociology in his own way. He was trying to create social reform and he was talking to the people and using his influence to create a change in politics. He was influencing society on a macro level.

    If I were to have dinner with a well known person it would be Bill Gates. I think that he is one of the most influential people in the world. He is so wealthy and does not keep it all to himself. He is very active amongst charitable organizations one of which i have a great interest in "Malaria Project". There have been so many deaths in Africa due to the malaria disease and his foundation has been contributing a great deal to educate people about the disease and also contributing funds for the prevention and treatment of the disease.I admire him so much because I have an affinity for computer information systems myself.Believe or not but nearly all computers uses one software program from Microsoft (in which he is the co founder).My main goal for this dinner would be to pick his brain for his ideas.

Jim Carrey has been a lifelong favorite actor of mine. The first movie I ever saw him in was Ace Ventura, Pet Detective, and he had me sold since.

    After giving this some thought, I think I would have to choose Frank Sinatra. Being a vocalist myself, I think that he could have a lot to teach me. After starting from humble beginnings, he was able to work, or sing, rather, his way to become a performer who can stand the test of time. Not only that, but during his career he hit rock bottom and still was able find his way right back up to the top.

    After dinner we would smoke cigarettes and sing my favorite, I've Got You Under My Skin together in some swanky piano bar in New York City, and thus would begin my career as a modern-day female crooner. After our performance I would join him in one of his most famous toasts:
    "May you live to be 100, and may the last voice you hear be mine."

    Sinatra was right; with everything in life, The Best is Yet to Come.

It's a shame that female politicians, no matter which side of the political spectrum they fall on, tend to be portrayed as a caricature of the female gender; the media will always make them out to be some sort of quite, kittenish, demi-vixens (e.g. former governor Palin) or, if they exhibit the stronger more confident characteristics we associate with males in American society, they're portrayed as cold and unfeminine (e.g. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton).

These are some of the things I would want to discuss with him since he is head of the Board of Commissioners, has proposed the plan and has the most influence on what will be decided Tuesday morning April 12.

    The person I would love to have dinner with is Nikki Sixx of Motley Crue. This

    when I was 11 and I have never looked back. As a teen my mom was addicted to
    pain killers and I had to take care of her and my sisters, my outlet was locking
    myself in my room and listening to music, I knew every note, verse, lyric. Years
    later I found out Nikki at that time was a drug addict addicted to heroin and
    overdosed and was able to be brought back. He is now an advocate on sobriety,
    trying to keep people on a positive and creative track, and helps homeless,
    runaways through Running Wild in the Night Foundation. He has overcame
    negativity, drug addictions and people telling him he will never make it, well
    look at him now, he is a rock icon and still selling out major venues and a best

    In response to Alton P., i agree with you about wanting to know why he thinks he is so different from the other past presidents. But do you honestly think that he is so different? What has he done that nobody else has said or done?

  148. In response to all they have said above, there is absolutely nothing wrong in having dinner with who ever inspires you the most. But I will like to have dinner with Dr. Maya Angelou because she inspired me a lot in her writing. Dr. Maya Angelou is one of the most renowned and influential voices of our time. Hailed as a global renaissance woman, Dr. Angelou is a celebrated poet, memoirist, novelist, educator, dramatist, producer, actress, historian, filmmaker, and civil rights activist. In Stamps, Dr. Angelou experienced the brutality of racial discrimination, but she also absorbed the unshakable faith and values of traditional African-American family, community, and culture. Dr. Maya has a strong personality and I will like to know more about Dr. Angelou's reading of her poem "On the Pulse of the Morning" was broadcast live around the world

    If I had the chance to sit down and talk to someone such as a political figure or so, I would choose President Barack Obama. I would just simply ask him, how did and how does it feel to be the President of the United States of America, and has it been a point in his presidency to really say I want to give up. We are all human and we have to work through trials and tribulations, but when we seem to have had enough on our jobs, we quit. And just from my circle of friends the way they speak of our president, I sure he would want to quit. But I know he's nothe'll finish and get through the process.

    Interesting individual to lhave dinner with. At one time on top of the world, the first billionare athelete, could have sat out a year and still been the number 1 golfer. Now that he is back, I don't think he has his edge back ye because he is not winning. In this sport, that is how I define edge. I don't think theat the other golfer's are afraid of him like they use to be. Other golfer's would often say we are plaing for second place. What is it going to take to get that edge back.

    Thanks for sharing more light on the word of God. Having dinner with my savior will be number one. He died to save my life from sin, and to also inherit eternity. What a wonderful God.

    When it comes down to it, any big-time actor, honestly. I love listening to the stories of people that matter, their views on a situation, or how they felt. So honestly, anyone of importance.

    Though, if I had to choose someone, I'd chose Gabe Newell. He has had such an impact on the gaming universe that I would love to listen to his insight.

    I'm not sure where my post disappeared to. If I had to have dinner with someone "famous" I think it would be with Jesus. It would be nice to sit and talk with him about the choices he made throughout his life and thank him for being so selfless to die for a sinner like me.
