Out of all the people I've met on campus, I can only name three other students who share this quality. They are all fairly quiet about their decision, but I'm not.
Much like the typical liberal, he cannot keep his opinions or lifestyle choices private. He must inflict his "superior" beliefs on those of us who couldn't care less what he or anyone else chooses to do. Why can he not be like the other three students he talks about? He desenves scorn. Not for being a non-drinker, but for publicly patting himself on the back about it.
Who waits till 11:00 am?
Funny, I was a responsible college student. So was the crowd I ran around with.
Generally speaking, kids will live up to your expectations.
Same story here. Makin' up for it now though. ;)

Oh, I agree, he's sort of right there in your face with it. I'm just saying I can understand a little bit where he's coming from. I can't help but think sometimes though... You ever see those Jay Walking episodes on Leno? The ones where he goes to a college campus and asks the students simple no brainer questions that they can't answer? I'm thinking of one in particular where this girl couldn't answer one of 3 or 4 simple American history/gov't related questions but when Jay switched on a boom box with "Who Let da Dogs Out" she was a pretty apt study at busting a move to the tune. I get to thinking our nation would be a whole lot better off if students went to campus to actually study.
I think back on my wife's university days. She studied medicine. She might have gone out to a pub one night every two weeks but the rest of the time she had her nose in a book. Sounds boring but she's a good doctor.
So people who are different should just shut the hell up or risk being labeled obnoxious twits. Sorry but I think you've overreacted, maybe this article touched on something personal.
