This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

KKK? by Grace75
We told one of our roomies that on his b-day we were going to take him to a cemetery, tie him to a tree and leave him. So, on the day, about 12 of us took bed sheets and pillow cases and draped them over each of us. We tied him up around the neck and paraded him through campus, marching 2 x 2, all the while chanting gibberish. We took him through the 2nd floor on the library and stopped in the middle and one of the guys yelled out, "If you don't watch it, this can happen to you!!!!" The next day, or day after, the Observer was full of KKK articles, thinking a branch had infiltrated the campus.
