Ridiculous Things You Read On Facebook

It's kinda odd when you juxtapose these people with the comedians who don't do stand up at colleges any more because of the overwhelming amount of political correctness.

I guess comedians just need to have their acts at frat houses and everything will be ok.

I mean, I think it's incredibly forward thinking of them to hold a seminar on on avoiding sexual assault, and even more so that they invited the mothers so that the freshmen would feel safe and non-threatened.

It simply cannot be any worse than the mandatory bullshit the Air Force makes us go through during "SAPR Karaoke." (SAPR stands for Sexual Assault Prevention and Response.)

They give us 6 songs and we have to analyze the lyrics: (Spoiler alert: alcohol use and suggestive lyrics will eventually lead to rape.)

The next time I'm a part of this bullshit I'm going to ask if the Jessie J, Arianna Grande and Nicki Minaj song "Bang, Bang" is actually them giving me consent before anything happens.

Virginia fraternity suspended over ‘freshman daughter drop off’ banners slammed as ‘offensive’ by own execs

"A young lady I talked to earlier today courageously described the true meaning of the hurt this caused. She thought seriously about going back home.

"But she was heartened, she explained, when she saw how fellow students were reacting to this incident on social media. She realized this callous and senseless act did not reflect the Old Dominion she has come to love," he continued.

Thank goodness for the healing power of social media.

Kind of a misleading headline. They mean "Virginia" the state, but most people will probably see that and assume it means "Virginia" the school.

How many Swampers were within a quarter mile of each other on Comm Ave at one time? Though Cheddah was there a year later.

I didn't live on Comm Ave when I was going to Tufts, but I sure as hell spent a lot of time there visiting my (main) drug dealer.

Watching Trump speech. He is crushing this thing. He is the best anti-politician politician of all time. I am glad that people who have sat on the sideline get up and vote, it's a better America. He decides what is what. A true boss! Imagine if we had a leader right now who ran the show like this?

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Wed Sep 09, 2015 1:19 pm

Well my one off comment really put on a show today, didn't it?

And my friend is typically level headed. He leans right on most things, but this time he fell over. Victim of Keyboard Warrior Syndrome. I honestly have no idea what type of vortex he fell into. His wife just had a baby, so maybe he's feeling the effects? But just facepalm worthy all around.

I'm beginning to believe that the reason for all the race issues, riots and the war on Law Enforcement is simply a means of causing total chaos just before the elections. Martial Law will be imposed and the muzzie in charge will declare martial law. Then he gains an indefinite term and complete control to allow a complete moslem incursion.

my point is, and always was, write that crap on a flyer, dumb people think that it will happen if he gets elected. people who have no idea how laws are made or the process or the consequences, the dumb american voter. obama proved you can flat out lie to these people and they will believe it

my response

my point is, and always was, say that crap behind a podium, dumb people think that it will happen if he gets elected. people who have no idea how laws are made or the process or the consequences, the dumb american voter. Trump proves you can flat out lie to these people and they will believe it

I have no idea if this guy is a prospective Trump voter or not but I figured it was worth the shot

I'm sad I missed out on the frat bashing. As a member of the proportionally small 4,000 greeks out of the 40,000 students at PSU I've heard most of the criticisms before. However, my experiences match those of Shirley. I'd also like to add that it provided even more opportunity to get involved in different activities. At a big state school you sometimes find little cross-over in interacting with different majors. Greeks had much more of that. Intramural sports is another one. It's also a misnomer that most frats are a bunch of rich kids. Sometimes it just looks like you have more money when 50 guys can split rent, food and alcohol. Hell... we borrowed clothes from each other all the time. Suits, ties, etc...

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Mon Sep 21, 2015 1:04 pm

My senior year, I lived with another school of business major, a poli-sci major and two comm majors and was allowed to play intramurals.

(Alternate response: I'm sure the clothes sharing was just to make the rapist harder to identify.)

Out of pedophile jokes? What's the next line I need to use? Something about your girlfriend and her need for real gratification?

I didn't join to have a bunch of people with the same interests. Athletics and majors are just two easy areas. Religious, political, demographic, race, academics, etc... I am pretty sure that the greek experience pushed me out of my comfort zone and allowed me to experience many more things than I would not have. There is nothing wrong with either track as long as it got you out there.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Mon Sep 21, 2015 1:55 pm

I wouldn't say I'm out, they just didn't really apply here. I hope.

I'm sure some Juggalos are really nice, cool people too, but I'm not about to give the entire group a pass.

This guy gets it. This is the way I live my life. It's nice to hear it from this great man.

I don't even need to look this up. There's no way that a man who runs an organization that says the only unforgivable crime...the only sin that will surely get you tortured for eternity is apostasy...would ever say that it's not required you believe in God. That's counter-intuitive to the RCC's entire existence. There's no chance.

I got you. I usually fact check first. But this strikes a chord. Whether he said it or not, it's a great outlook on life and faith.

It doesn't matter if someone said something or not. You heard it here first.

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Fri Sep 25, 2015 1:31 pm

Isn't s/he just saying "maybe it wasn't from the pope, but I still like the quote"?

Doesn't matter who said it, I just like the quote.

Why? They're both admirable things to say and both misattributed and both detrimental to his church. What's the difference?

I think only yours really qualifies as "admirable".

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Fri Sep 25, 2015 2:40 pm

Delaware, you're actually defending the idea that as long as someone likes a quote, it's okay if it's misattributed? There's no way that this is something you think.

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Fri Sep 25, 2015 2:53 pm

Facebook is a fountain of incorrectly attributed quotes, isn't it?

mister d · Post by **mister d** » Fri Sep 25, 2015 2:54 pm

That's absolutely what I'm saying. Definitely not saying that the person clearly acknowledged that they didn't fact check but, either way, liked the "you can have faith without being religious" message.

Right, but doesn't anyone with a shred of intellectual honesty take it down or add an edit when they find out they've been duped? Instead, we're just gonna allow the papal dick-sucking to continue over something he never said?
