One is criminal damage, the other is specifically mandated and authorized by statute and aims to prevent damage.

Sigh. Yes, you really don’t know what you’re talking about. First of all, this wasn’t directed to football players alone. It was directed to all of the athletes including all the other sports that lose the University money. Secondly, you’re assuming some rational analysis goes into the day to day decisions where…

As to what exactly? Will the request result in some not wearing LSU gear to a protest? Probably. Will many ignore the request and protest with LSU gear on? Absolutely. Will it result in student athletes not protesting when they otherwise would have? I highly doubt it.

They asked the most well known and visible members of the student body because they are the most well known and visible members of the student body—the athletes. The debate team members are not well known and visible and their participation is not likely to attract any attention for them or the University.

Incoming: unfounded assumptions that failure to do what was asked will result in punishment. Might as well give up now. This place is an echo chamber for stuff like this. Bottom line is LSU is a scummy organization for daring to make a request. Anyone who says different is just completely wrong.

That’s not true. I’m sure some don’t but many do in fact talk about not wearing company or organizational-branded clothing at protests and out at bars.

Not a big deal in reality, but LSU was bound to catch a ton of flack for it. Just the optics of today. Asking them not to wear LSU gear while protesting is = demanding they not protest or not supporting their right to protest.

Beef wellington is good.

I think we define “all sorts of roads” differently then. I’ve seen thousands.

Underrated comment right here. +1

He’s just trying to imitate the passion of the Bryce.

I’m a big fan of Bear McReary’s stuff. But I think he only does series, not movies? BSG’s music is good. Clint Mansell’s track for the fountain was awesome too

Ted Cruz is a fundamentalist. Trump is an opportunist. Cruz scares me while Trump worries me. So, from that perspective, yes.

I mean...probably not? I’m starting to doubt more and more than someone could have seriously entertained such a question. I mean just....come the fuck on. Of course this isn’t a great rivalry.

A very short debate: it doesn’t.

It was after Trump became a sure thing to win the republican primary. I just thought to myself “shit. This wasn’t supposed to happen. This feels like some bad destiny type shit.” It was like whatever needed to happen for Trump to win, I just had a gut feeling that was going to happen-one way or another. No matter what…

Milanos: overrated.

As a Lawrence resident, I am happy to have learned about her. I lived in Topeka a few years back and used to make deliveries in Tecumseh for work. I swear I think I’ve had a run in with her, but can’t be sure.

If you had just left it at “purchase” instead of “purchase/rely” you might have been alright.

Burnenko’s piece on hitchbot is still my favorite.
