Most people use that freedom to turn themselves into useless wastes of flesh.
That might be true, but even if it is, why is it any of your business? Why do you get to say whats useless about those people? Why don't you worry more about yourself and let people live the lives they want to lead? People getting drunk and casually hooking up with each other are not hurting you, regardless of what you think. They might not be behaving up to your lofty standards, but you don't get to tell people what to do.

I think Mist is salty because drunken lesbian hookups are probably pretty awful. Its just a lot of slobbering and panting. Like dogs.

Why is itmybusiness? Because colleges have turned into a heavily taxpayer subsidized four+ year long party with very little educational benefit. It's all of our business.

So yeah, I am in favor of a lot less freedom for people supposedly getting an education on the taxpayer's dime.

I'm sorry, Cad, but this is just idiotic. We live in a society where what affects some of us directly affects all of us indirectly. Would you suggest we let pedophiles be pedophiles since none of us are children so they can't hurt us personally? Are we not allowed to have opinions about how society functions? Underage drinking (like pedophilia) is illegal, so why the fuck not discuss the negative impacts it has on society? You can't pretend it's harmless since it's part of the reason "rape culture" became a big-ticket topic in the first place.

Who the fuck are you to tell people to mind their own business? Are you the arbiter of who gets to talk about what here? Do you have a problem with freedom of speech? Would you prefer to have the right to veto any comments you personally disapprove of? Fucking Nazi scum.

Are people still not getting an education while fucking? Your feigned concern over taxes is amusing. You are really running out of arguments.

Ever had a rape fantasy? It's OK, you can tell us. This is a safe thread.

Quite the little republican when people are doing something you don't agree with aren't you?

Or idiots be teachers?

In other news pedophilia is now equivalent to underage drinking. If that's the case, 99% of the board should be doing time.

I wouldn't judge 99% of the board by the actions of Trollface and Gaige.

I have some very conservative views. The difference between me and a republican is that mine are pragmatic in nature rather than ideological.

Lets count the logical fallacies in this post:
1> conflates doesn't hurt anyone with doesn't hurt "us"
2> conflates "mind your business with your behavioral controls you want to impose" with "don't talk about it"
3> Thinks "rape culture" came about because of underage drinking (which is like pedophilia!!!) and not because of idiotic self-reinforcing internet bandwagoning making a problem where none exists
4> thinks I'm telling Mist not to talk about a problem when I'm really telling her not to attempt to control the behavior of others, accuses me of controlling that behavior
5> Invokes hitler/nazis

In short, you sir are a grade A retard

Tanoomba is right up there in Merlin territory in terms of mental capacity. He is basically a liberal Merlin. Stupid, uninformed, unaware and unable to construct a logical argument if his life depended on it.

This image... lol.

College shouldn't be advanced daycares and they shouldn't be predatory havens. I don't think anyone is defendingrealrapes that happen. No matter if they happen on a college campus or otherwise.

The sole responsibilty of the college is to educate. It is not to socially regulate -- not this way. I've known guys that get better at doing calculus when they're toasty and I've known guys that write better when they're drunk... as long as they remember to edit when they're sober. It makes no sense to me at all and I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Some guys... their brains... it's fucking weird. As long as the college is producing competent graduates that will be of public professional use what does it matter what their private habits are?

The kids that binge drink and skip out will also probably be the ones that wash out. That's just not the responsibility of college administration to police. Of course laws should be enforced. But campus cops aren't actually cops. The proof is in the fact that if a student has done something that requires he be arrested, or there is enough suspicion of that, those campus cops will call the real cops to do it.

They may be young adults but the fact remains that these are adults. They may be using someone elses money, but the fact remains that someone else trusts them enough to give them money to fail.

What you have to come to grips with is that while you can equalize access and guarantee opportunity, you can NOT equalize or guarantee results. You could turn college into a completely dry and sexless 3 years (you literally could, there are colleges which do that). But the exact same thing that you're concerned about stopping -- that'll still happen. And what did it cost you to manage to change nothing?

I mean, if your college is handing out free 6packs at orientation... you might just be working at a party school. And if they're not, then what's the problem really?

I'm not actually wanting to control other people's bad behavior beyond the laws the currently exist.

I'd be very happy with just stoppingpromotingtheir bad behavior. Colleges think they're being "progressive" by promoting a culture where consequence-less sex and drinking are the norm. That's just reckless, not progressive, because there are ALWAYS consequences.

Either one is wrong.

You said fuck all about "behavioral controls" and you know it.

3> Thinks "rape culture" came about because of underage drinking (which is like pedophilia!!!) and not because of idiotic self-reinforcing internet bandwagoning making a problem where none exists
Ummm... yeah. When people too young to handle the responsibility of either drinking or fucking do both, you get a bunch of them complaining that they've been raped. I don't approve of it, but this is what's happening and yes, it's part of the reason everybody today is talking about "rape culture".

4> thinks I'm telling Mist not to talk about a problem when I'm really telling her not to attempt to control the behavior of others, accuses me of controlling that behavior
I responded to what you wrote, not what you imagined you were saying in your mind's eye. If you have a problem with how I respond to your words, I suggest you choose your words more carefully.

5> Invokes hitler/nazis
What would an internet message board be without Nazi references?

Well, yeah, I won't and can't argue with that. I don't know them specifically becuase it's obviously been a while since I've been in college... but there are some truly dumb motherfucking policies wherever you go.

Oh, I'm not claiming they're mall cops. They've got authority to hold you. They might even have authority to arrest and process you. But they never do. I guess they're more like deputy deputies than anything.

But yeah, I'm sure it varies not only State to State but even college to college, and PROBABLY even chancellor to chancellor.
