For those who believe that a WALL needs to exist between our outwards culture and the darker inward culture thisis very troublesome.

Between 20 and 30 students signed releases to appear in the flick...

Let's see, legal adults, signed releases, and consentual sex. Other than forbidding a commercial enterprise on school property, there isn't a whole lot the school can (or should) do. This is a good chance for students to actually learn about individual responsiblity and consequences for decisions they made.

I don't understand why there has been such an uproar over the Indiana University happenings. And Bill O'Reilly has really been on the war path over it. It seems he has little else to talk about lately.

If I, as a consenting adult agree to perform in a porn movie that is my business. And if I agree to have it filmed in my residence that is also my business. Even if it is a dorm room on a university campus.

Say there was no porn company involved and I and some other students decided to get together one night in my room and make a porno. Whats the problem? There is no difference between that and a porn company being involved. And if campus officals think what I described above is not happening on their campi, then they are sadley mistaken, idiots, or willingly ignoring reality.

LOL, I bet if somebody bought copies of the films and mailed them to Mom and Dad, the sparks would really fly. I wouldn't be surprised if this begins to happen, even if just as a mischievous prank by other college kids. Yeah, "consequences", lol.

Then someday, one of these college kids will decide to run for office, or teach elementary school, or get married, or have kids of their own. These films can have the darndest way of popping up years later. Yup.

SOLUTION: LOTS more HOMEWORK is needed. LOTS. And, the pulling of any scholarships or federal funding loans to these students.

Cox maintains the company did nothing wrong. She said the company did not trespass since the school is located on public land and the camera crew only entered the dorm after being invited by students. When a staff member confronted them, Cox said the crew left immediately.

"We feel bad for any students who are going to receive disciplinary action for the things they did behind closed doors in the privacy of their own rooms," she said. "They are adults and they've made adult decisions. It's not the university's responsibility to monitor what goes on in the private lives of students."

Specious reasoning at best, and probably factually incorrect in every respect:

"Public land"? True but irrelevant. State parks and government office buildings aren't restriction-free zones, for example.

"invited by students"? It's really the University's room -- the student is just a renter. Again, to say that the university has no right to deny unrestricted access to their own buildings is simply false.

"not the university's responsibility"? We all know how quickly a University would be named as a defendant in a civil trial if a student is raped in her dorm room, falls off a balcony, etc.

I look at this as a question of what a property owner allows on his property. The fact that it's the state rather than in individual is irrevalant IMO.

"We have nothing planned, but if the situation arises and someone wants us to come, we're definitely going to do it."

No pun intended of course.....
