It seems like once a month some college stunt or party makes the news.
Hey - after Jones took all his followers with him in mass suicide we had a “Drink the KoolAid” party. Had a great time.
I wonder how many of the “Offended” ever did something, dress like something, etc, to offend some other group or people?
The television station that reported this is the closest city to Virginia Tech. I’m sure they feel differently about self-absorbed children who mock the slaughter of their neighbors.
It was a private party. I would have no objection to someone who lost a friend or loved one punching one of these idiots in the snout or holding them up to public ridicule (publish the pics on the web)or just general tut tutting but, other than that, ignore it. I mean, if these kids had just, say, worshiped the devil or something, no one would care.
Nothing good can come of this. I would say that college age students should know better but then . . . depending on their upbringing and maturity maybe not.
College age students are like ten year olds today compared to when I was that age.
Maybe you'd get a little more excited if you had known people in the line of fire. Or if you had watched your own child frantically calling and texting all day long to find out if his friends were okay.
I would...cause its not how you handle it. We are stronger than idiots and we are better than fools, but we constantly find ourselves as a society and nation, going down the path of weakness to the point of being offended in everything and justifying curtailing speech or other things (violence) to stop the offense. I would say you have the teddy bear flap to point to if you want to see how far it will go left unchecked. Now THOSE are some real idiots. Willing to murder a teacher because school children named a Teddy Bear Mohammad.
If it is so that we should act on this offense then why not march enmasse on a myriad of things like:
Jesus in urine,
Mary with a fecal wreath,
Porn using the faces of GOP leaders,
The NEA and their Anti-American anti-Parent crap,
and on, and on, and on
I am greatly offended at the loss of what our country was clearly founded upon. And these Penn State scum are just that, scum, they will reap the benefit of their actions unless we do nothing to malign them...which we are doing.
Good grief. Lighten up.
People lacking a sense of humor also lack a sense of proportion and should never be placed in leadership positions.
I've seen the two pictures Drudge has openly displayed and they are repulsive.
People are dead, and these two jerks are mocking what happened.
Has our society lost even a semblance of sensitivity, respect and decorum!
What a disgusting bunch of young people.
We did too... Tried to end up passed out in piles, but our organizational skills were shot by then.
Sorry, it’s gallows humor and I’m not offended. I just wish all the “victims” had added a slogan to their shirts along the lines of “I went to school in a Gun Free Zone and all I got was this lousy shirt.”
“People are dead, and these two jerks are mocking what happened.”
Kinda’ like people who dress up as the beheaded King and Queen of France at a Halloween Party?
Maybe we can get congress to pass a law banning “Bad taste”.
Maybe because anyone with a remote connection to VT, like you, is donning the Sacred Cloak of the Perpetual Mourner. Get over yourselves.
I got another one. Dress up in a military uniform and make it look like half your head is blown off. Put something on your shirt along the lines of, “I got hit by an IED and I had to pay back my lousy enlistment bonus!”
Wow. Another example of Ivy League immaturity. Why is anyone surprised? The IQ of Ivy League students has been plummeting due to political correctness. I’m sure they all thought they were just being soooo clever. Offensive? Of course. Nothing is sacred or immune to obnoxious kids.
College students engaging in tasteless humor. The very idea! I’m shocked! SHOCKED, I say!
