If you see in my comments above, I made the similar point that I would have been fine if they had said nothing. It is the choice to say something that seems at best to be a half truth that led me to my original comment.

Which, of course, would be why it is especially problematic to say "oh, it was just pot, everything is fine now."

Right, that is my thought — at best — about this. But that isn't the same as saying she was just smoking pot and that is all that accounts for her symptoms.

My parents smoked pot — once — in the 60's, and their responses were totally consistent with their natures. My Dad had a massive paranoia attack; my Mom fell asleep. So I get that you can have a messed up reaction, but as you say, that has to do with personal chemical make-up — and we know that illnesses like…

I feel like the only basis on which to blame pot would be to say that it triggered a psychotic break, or something. But mostly, yes, this just feels like a silly lie.

Yes. I feel like it would have been just fine to have said nothing at all.

I find the claim that Amanda Bynes's behavior was due solely to marijuana very, very hard to believe.

Lindsay is just the worst. The end. She needs to be allowed to fail, and maybe (although I doubt it) she will grow up and develop a soul.

We actually engineered them to hunt badgers — which I'm not sure are vermin, but for sure are underground. This is why dachshunds are so crazy brave.

My 12 pound dachshund killed a rat in my back yard a month ago. My reaction was pride mixed with absolute horror — especially when one of my other dachshunds brought the dead thing to my back door. I assumed a fetal position until a friend could come and dispose of it for me.

Part of what all of this exposes is the utter hollowness of Twitter. It's really just a marketing avenue for celebrities and brands and not a whole lot else (except for the periodic news eruptions as in Iran and Egypt). The fact that the tweets are not really coming from the person or organization they claim to be…

I largely agree, but I did go to a cool warehouse party down there several years ago.

I think Princeton has tried simply to ignore her, hoping that eventually she will go away. We have plenty of other grads who one might argue are, er, not a great reflection on the institution. Donald Rumsfeld comes to mind.

Man, and here I thought I couldn't dislike her more.

The level of your invective makes it hard to tell if your stories are based in reality or on personal animus perhaps clouding your judgment. No one place is one thing, and very rarely are people only good or only bad. The anger expressed by your post is, I am sure, very real to you and your friend. But the question…

I was a woman at Princeton and did not experience what you are reporting. Nor did any of my close women friends. Not to say it did not happen, but I find myself uncomfortable both with your wholesale attack on the institution and with you sharing details of a counselee's rape and aftermath. My mother was a…

Susan Patton is an embarrassment to me, as a proud female Princeton graduate. She does not represent anyone or anything but her own, foolish and misguided notions. Enough with this terrible woman and her awful notions.

Did she actually say this?

Not to be mean, or anything, but this feels more like a sweet 16 party "anthem"
