Think of all the grieving mothers when they see how their kids are using their time pursuing their expensive educations.

An inordinate amount of casual Speciesism on this thread.

I'm sort of a vegetarian in that I only eat anything that lives in or near water, and as you never more than 72 miles from water no matter where you live in England, then that's pretty much anything and no animal is safe.

Although it does raise an interesting philosophical question centred around empathy, not that I consider this when tucking into a lamb. I tend to eat first and ask questions later.

In terms of the OP, usually in England these environmental types are middle class lads and lasses living in holes and spending Mam and Dad's money on living in a hole in the ground or half way up a tree and doing pretty much anything to avoid work (including living in a hole in the ground). Few people take them seriously, and it seems it's no different in the United States.

I remember when Margaret Thatcher stopped school children from having milk courtesy of the State, and became universally known as ' Maggie
Thatcher the milk bottle snatcher'. Seems the students are following suit although for an altogether different motive. Who would have thought environmentalists and Maggie in cahoots.

.on a related point....regarding Uof VA? and your quote
And the National Pan-Hellenic council banned adult women members at U of Va from attending parties that were held by adult males. I thought that it was the 21st century, but this is sounding much more 19th century to me.

I admit freely I havent followed this, so let me ask, do you think that it might have to do with the rape that may or may not have happened(from the RS debacle), so they are doing gender segregation at parties(It still amazes me) to prevent anyone a chance to rape a woman(or man) or just as importantly to be accused of rape?
Whatever it is its bloody daft policy.
do you have a link? as I said, I havent read up on it, I cannot imagine going to any college, liberal or not and living by such a "rule" I dont see many college students taking notice.
WHile concern about the number of rapes in unis and colleges around the world is very much in the media, this is a step way too far in my humble opinion. backlash causing more retaliation and backlash ad nauseam.

When you guys can decide on what your argument is; could you inform the rest of us? Thanks in advanced!

Because last I checked, that is an image of US Citizens demonstrating their 1st amendment rights. The forth part of the 1st amendment at that!

using your first amendment rights and being a bloody idiot are NOT mutually exclusive.

For example, the fourth part of the First Amendment isn't the freedom of speech or assembly.

They are on private property. There's no right of assembly there.

Tell you what. You go there, without an ID, and see how that works out for you.

I'm sure they'll explain to you how that works.
