I just don't understand this line of thinking. In all my years of having friends and doing stupid things with them, I've never been in a situation where singing/chanting/saying offensive things was seen as a fun group activity. "Let's be offensive, that's fun!" just doesn't compute for me.

Do you have any idea how accurate the heart rate monitor is? I'd snatch one up if it meant I could be rid of the chest strap on my current HRM.

Agreed. I've lived with a partner before and it was fine, but I don't think I'd share my space like that again. I'm happy to trade a smaller, affordable-on-a-single-income space for privacy and easily accessible solitude.

We should definitely revive the Jez group. Or start a new one or something.

Truth. I use Aveeno's eczema therapy after I started getting weird bumps and dry patches on my hands in the winter. It has colloidal oatmeal and works like a dream.

For one, many people who don't believe in Catholic doctrine are subject to abstinence-only sex ed. For two, I can speak to natural family planning: Many generations of my family followed the Church's teachings and ended up with far more children than they wanted and/or married at far too young an age to stave off the…

Thank you for doing what you could to help those women.

The Catholics, at least, can stop promoting abstinence-only sex ed and limited birth control options. Keeping people ignorant pretty much ensures an increased need for orphanage and other related services.

Pretty much nepotism. When you can call up one of the top investment firms in the country and say, "Hi, we have a student here from you fraternity who you've never met and know nothing about, but would like a job," and is given one, it's all worth it.

One of the problems with this argument is that it puts a limit on women's sexuality. We'd all have to be very careful with how we express ourselves, lest one of us overstep the bounds and somehow trigger men's harassment for the gender as a whole. I'd prefer that we not police each other's sexuality.

At some universities, you have to come back early from winter break to rush. Who gives up winter break for this nonsense?

Being able to look up lyrics is one of the best things about the Internet.

Hm. I've never had any difficultly having lids replaced, so maybe it's worth a shot anyway? Thanks for the info.

I've dropped my mugs a lot, but have never seen them shatter. And the lids are covered under warranty. I had one replaced for free because it started leaking. Just contact the folks on the Contigo site and they'll send you a replacement.

Sure. But lots of people are doing that reverse racism nonsense, implying that folks who identify Crips with Black people are actually the racists, not the jackwagons who threw/attended the party. Racism as a result of ignorance is still racism.

The article makes the statement "The African American gang 'Crips'", but I don't recall that ever being a requirement of the gang, or something they're known as their mantra.

One of the defining aspects of the Crips is that they are a predominantly black gang; this is well-known to anyone with a passing knowledge of gang history and culture. Just as it's not racist to equate members of Sur 13 with Mexicans (because it is a predominantly Mexican gang formed in Mexico), it's not racist to…

In addition, alumni don't want their frats monitored. I've worked at universities where frats are out of control and while they don't want university oversight, they're also completely unwilling to allow an adult (even an alum) live in the house to provide some oversight. They want absolutely nothing to do with the…

That's pretty much been my experience with frats. Pony up cash, the vast majority of which goes to buying liquor, and in return men get access to test/paper banks and future career nepotism. I can't speak well to sororities, but that's how I've seen many of the bigger/more powerful fraternities function.

They were in their 20s, so it's not as weird as it could be. Still, I think it would be a very odd experience to be having sex with your new stepfather's daughter under their roof.
