Let's see...I'm a minister so...hmmm...what would I be drawn to?  LOL.
 
Actually, I enjoy reading so many subjects, including hard science, philosophy, psychology, language/linguistics, socio-politics (both past and current), nature et al.
 
Peace.

Let's see...music, women, fine foods..oh errrm...

I love history and learning about what other people have done.
Social Studies/Humanites stuff is something I enjoy too, learning about other people and junk like that.
And economics, because it made total sense to me in school. Plus it was interesting.

Literature and art, even though I'm not very good at anything art-related (painting and stuff).

I beg to differ. Sadly History tend to interprete facts in line with political course. As soon as this course changes, those so called "facts" suddenly start to mean something completely different till the next change of course. In my honest opinion History is written under control of politics by people hired and paid for by political institutions. In some cases History plays the role of very well used but modestly paid prostitute. This concerns modern history. As to the ancient one, even Chronology which is now in use (Scalliger's Chronology) might well be proven wrong, and if same happens - all the "facts" taken in completely different chronology will obviously mean completely different course of events.
 
History for me can be interesting and useful reading, and I understand people who are in love with this subject, but to call it "all facts" means not only serious deviation from the truth, but also blind acceptance of such deviation.
 
 
 
Of course the sccuracy of history depends on who/what writes it down, but what I meant is that it's (especially for the US since its such a new country) got a starting point and and ending point (current events at any given time) and it's all contained, whether true or not, within that time period. Math and science are ever-changing in a way history isn't.

In future any poll that is started in the wrong Zone will be deleted without notice and with extreme prejudice.

For advice on where to start a new thread read this:
http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13082&FID=3&PR=3

There are guidelines (including this one) posted quite clearly at the top of the Prog Lounge.

Still, I don't get what this topic has in common with Prog...

--------------------------------------------------------    

well, mostly because i believe music is the only art that's closer to science and even more closer to math... given that prog is a more complex genre (not nessecarily, but mostly, anyway), i just wanted to know if there really is a connection... apparently, i was wrong...

Linguistics as a scientific field.
 
Though I had never had big problems with natural science (in school especially).
 
And literature as pastime (alongside music, obviously...)

Art (painting and stuff...) then history and literature. No. four is comics and stuff.

History. Art and Science were and still are my favourite subjects,  i think many progfans share these as well - it takes imagination and enthusiasm to study these subjects, and to enjoy Prog!

Well, I'm a mathematician (I've got M. S.) so I voted on the first option.
