The problem of college students getting drunk and causing a ruckus has been a problem for a while, but the problem as it relates to collegiate athletes became acute when accusations were made against the Duke Lacrosse team in 2006. While the athletes accused were ultimately exonerated, the whole incident cast a paul over Duke, lacrosse teams in general, and collegiate athletes as a whole. Personally, I think the problem of college students engaging in such behavior speaks to the irresponsible nature of the youth of today. Kids today simply do not understand the breath of scope of the results of their actions, and the culture today of permissiveness and quick repentance only encourages such behavior. This generation may be lost, but it is my hope that the next generation of kids learn from their elders mistakes and approach their lives with respect and decency.

Reprehensible Kinky Behavior

Wait, there are also women engaging in this behavior? Never mind, I want to fully encourage this behavior in every place and venue. Especially online. Please.
Now You Tell Me
Many of us have been in the situation where we've spent the entire weekend working on a paper in a library. You've spent a great deal of time researching, tracking down essays and articles, sifting through mountains of scholarly journals, wading through a seemingly endless supply of dust covered textbooks, thoroughly digging and digging and digging around for sources to prove your point. Then, finally, you find the four or five good reliable sources that you were looking so hard for. You write your paper, turn it in, and feel this overwhelming sense of accomplishment. Then a couple of months or weeks or even days go by, and you happen upon an article that does more to prove your point than the sources in your paper do combined. In that moment you, exasperated at what you just found, cry out, "WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU WHEN I NEEDED YOU!!!"
I wonder if Miranda Barbour would say that after seeing the graphic posted above.
