The College Thread
Ah... and one day they make up the work force. It really isn't hard to understand why in our labor market with so many that have dropped out of the labor force unable to find work that it's made up mostly of the 20 somethings.

UNC Wrestling coach mad that schools decide guilt.
The "women [are] responsible for preventing their own rape" thing:
* Does that mean I am not responsible for being robbed, and therefore should do nothing to prevent being robbed? Should I not lock my doors, or even have locks? Should I not hide valuable goods? Should I not put valuables in a bank?
* Is no one responsible for the consequences of their behavior?
Look, I get it: people should not rape, assault, murder, etc other people. BUT THEY DO. Why make it easier? Why put yourself in that place?
His son, Corey Mock, is a nationally ranked wrestler. A former UNC-Chapel Hill student, he was a star athlete at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga until the senior was accused of rape last March and was expelled in December.
"Our case is a classic he said, she said case," C.D. Mock said. "You don't kick someone out of school or punish somebody because he said, she said."
He started a blog to share his frustration with the handling of sexual assault cases on college campuses. Guilt or innocence is left up to the university, not the criminal justice system, he complains.
The blog also names the alleged victim in his son's case and includes graphic details of the sexual encounter involving her.
"The idea that a woman who is intoxicated has no control is ridiculous," one post states. "Hate to break it to you feminists out there, but the whole idea on college campus today is to drink alcohol in social environments to reduce inhibitions."
Alice Wilder, a columnist for The Daily Tar Heel newspaper at UNC-Chapel Hill, said she learned about the blog after reading a fiery letter to the editor that C.D. Mock wrote in defense of his son.
"The message seemed to be that women were responsible for preventing their own rape, instead of saying that people shouldn't assault other people," Wilder said. "I was really surprised that someone that is employed here is that cavalier about it."

It's not me, it's someone else.
Dude accused of rape. Accuser gets all kinds of press for carrying a mattress to classes in protest of the college not doing anything about it. She never filed rape charges with the actual police. Dude provides emails and chat logs showing how she was always friendly and affectionate with him even after the supposed rape. All rape charges dropped but not after the smear campaign on campus and the retention of a criminal lawyer. Media still loves mattress girl.
Yet another reason to warn your son stringently before sending him off to college.

Dude investigated for rape on campus because he reminded girl of a dude who raped her 1000 miles away.

Yeah that.
I'll just go ahead and say 1 in 5 men will be accused of rape while in college, as long as we are making shit up. Need to get insurance against that. A law firm that will keep the college from witch hunting you, and then go after the accuser for $ for filing false shit... if that applies.
Better call Saul.

Twenty years in the future, it will be illegal to be around another human being without a camera of some kind recording the interaction. Just in case.

Chick gets drunk with a dude and tells him she wants to fuck. Actually evades two cockblocking friends to go fuck the guy. Makes sure he has a condom. A week later decides he raped her, dude is expelled.

One of many reasons college is a joke. I'd say that you could make a vid to defend yourself, but that's illegal without consent of both parties.

That article is fucked up from top to bottom. Nobody with a shred of logic or an IQ about 60 could have justified expelling John alone. Either neither gets punished or both.

Progressive peeps with messages for straight white men.

My faves are:
“Sit down and let us abolish you.”
And the one with the middle finger.
I also like the multiple "I am not a token" t-shirts. I need to get into the t-shirt bidness.

Looking at these people I can't help but wonder what they'd do if there's an EMP and they actually had to provide for themselves. When they are unable to hunt their own food would they blame the straight white male? How many would suddenly decide the straight white male that went out and killed food for them was actually pretty okay?

I think if shit hit the fan I would end up being kind of vindictive against people like this. If I can personally support fewer people than the entire set of those needing to be helped, I am going to find out who the hippies are.
Aw, who am I kidding...
I bet almost all the people I end up taking in have ovaries, but hey.... that's just a sound reproductive strategy. Hippie women are going to be in for a rude awakening if law enforcement ceases to exists.
