No, not really.  But you did specifically say that the university is "sensitive to public displays that objectify and degrade women".  How is that determination made?  Did the sorority girls violate that?

 

Without researching the source of each photo, I cannot determine if there is hypocrisy, nor do we know if any action was taken against the sorority. Personally, I find both both vulgar and offensive, but I'm not surprised they exist.

 

You seem to be missing the bigger picture, which is there exists a real, documented problem with sexual assaults and harassment committed by men on college campuses, and college administrators are well within their rights to address anything besmirching the image they wish to portray to recruits and parents. Of course there is a risk of a double standard, but that does not negate their right to take action.

I'm not upset about anything other than the fact that college campuses are doing their best to shut down any expression that is not "PC".  Are you saying that the banner displayed by the sorority is "PC" and the the banner(s) displayed by the fraternity are not?

You are being weird in this thread. Multiple times you replied with some variation of "are you saying this thing that you neither said nor alluded to?"

 

Are you saying that you support what those kids are doing?

Regardless of what offensive signs are put up on a frat house, college campuses can be extremely dangerous places full of rape and theft. Maybe they should just shut down fraternities or sororities and lock down the campus if crime is such a problem? Seems like a much more efficient solution than suspending a group because they wrote a few offensive words.

I'll agree 

---

The difference is there is a real, documented problem with men sexually assaulting and harassing women on college campuses, and college administrators are rightfully sensitive to public displays that objectify and degrade women.

 

Is the "P.S." in the bottom right corner of the banner displayed by the sorority degrading?

Here is the thing though.  If you find both banners to be "vulgar and offensive", does that give you or anyone else the right to censor or stop these kids from expressing themselves?

 

The "bigger picture" is the subject of the thread, that being PC and how freedom of expression is limited.  Yes I do acknowledge and understand that there is a problem with sexual assault and harrassment on college campuses, but that's not what this thread is about.

I had to limit what I was talking about for a bit until I got confirmation that I wasn't violating the CoC here on the board.

 

I'll ask you the same question again.  Is the banner displayed by the fraternity not PC, but the banner displayed by the sorority is?

 

For the record, I do support what these kids are doing politically.  They are exorcising their right to freedom of expression, and doing so off of the college campus.  Do I agree with their message?  Not so much, but that could be said about a lot of things in today's society.  Do I agree with what the Westboro Baptist Church says?  Not at all.  Do I defend their right to do so?  Absolutely.

I'm glad that you contributed to this thread so eloquently.

 

You do realize that an avatar is just a picture right?  What is Spock all about?  I'll answer it for you since you probably can't comprehend it.  LOGIC.  If you want to be ignorant enough to label a fictional character politically, then by all means do so.

 

Attack me personally all you want.  I do believe that it''s against the COC here on the board, but either way, it doesn't really matter to me.  Please go back to your grade school text books and attempt to understand the difference between "your" and "you're".  I know that it's probably a difficult concept for someone like you, but with practice you might actually learn it.

Maybe because it's Friday and I'm in a good mood, but I literally laughed out loud reading this... 

 

But seriously, JagI isn't an idiot.  He has some idea's that are way out there, but I guess we all do.

 

Back on topic...  Anyone ever see that movie PCU?  It was great!

It can be argued that some of the things you say aren't logical...  But that's for another debate.   :thumbsup:

I have no right to censor them, but the administration of that university certainly does.

No I don't think your an idiot. I added the idiot for laughs. Still working on that sarcasm and humor thing. Clearly it was a miss. The avatar things kills me every time you go on one of your conservative rants.

It insinuates rape of the mother and daughter. That's my problem with it.

Or it insinuates welcome to reality.  My daughter, your daughter, all daughters will experience this kind of humor and debauchery eventually..  As for inviting the wife did you not laugh at Animal House?

We live in a classless age. I guess we just have to roll with it - or we're called New Puritans.

 

Some people never get out of high school. And resent those who did.
