Someday, you'll grow up to be an adult and learn what's appropriate and what is not at any particular time.

And someday you'll realize that Lambda Chi Alpha has people who post inappopriate things all the time. Worry about them, let the DGs "worry" about this when it doesn't need to be.

And when, exactly, do you think this will happen to you?

As said earlier, it wasn't a particularly appropriate place to criticize Reagan, but I think that your reply was also inappropriate. If you are that upset, you need to step away from the computer and take a few minutes to calm down. Yes, it is sad that he passed away, but people aren't going to stop criticizing just because the man is dead. People still criticize Lyndon B. Johnson, don't they? Maybe the criticisms shouldn't take place in a "mourning" thread, but I think we can all move on now.

Well its still okay to criticise his polices and stuff if you want.

Dying can make you revered but necessarily right.

JonoBN41 06-09-2004 10:23 PM

You know, you girls are just very immature. One of your sisters posts a scathing article on the day of Reagan's funeral and you attack me for thinking it's inappropriate?

Well, if she and you have a right to express your opinions, then so do I. What she sent was a direct attack on one of the best fraternal experts on GC, and was very mean, and not a "lapse in judgement".

Totally uncalled for. All of you need to apologize.

Calling her out on impropriety is one thing. Calling her a disgrace to her organization is an entirely different issue. No apologies here.

You can think it's inappropriate, and you can call her out on that in a mature manner. BUT YOU DID NOT. You called her a disgrace to her organization, which I think is pretty damned improper.

Seriously, are you and Earp and Conard in a circle jerk? You boys all fall over each other to criticize people, and then act like you're innocent.

Save it. No one's apologizing to your sorry ass.

She's not my sister. She's an intelligent well-read woman who I regard as an asset to the GreekChat. You're directly attacking us, and that's okay why? Because you're a man? Because you're a Republican? Because you're a Lambda Chi.

I'm sorry a human being died, and I'm sorry he had to deal with a terrible disease, but I'm not sorry for thinking he was a poor president. My veteran father thinks he's a poor president too (and that's my veteran father who served in the Cold War in missle defense) so maybe you should take it up with him, since you're the same age and that way you can't use age as an attack on our arguments.

Co-sign.

It's fine to disagree with someone. It's fine not to like what they say. It's NOT fine to call them a disgrace to their organization.

No apologies from here either.

JonoBN41 06-09-2004 11:28 PM

All of you who agree with her posting of that article are simply defending her. Why?

It got us off-topic. She should not have done that at this time. What she did was inappropriate, and you know it.

Jono

Lil' Hannah 06-09-2004 11:34 PM

We all agreed that this was not the appropriate thread to post such an article. We also agreed that it was totally inappropriate to call her a disgrace to her sorority because of a lapse of judgement. I'm glad we're all on the same page now. And for the record, you're the one who took the thread off topic.

Hey, are you my parents? No? Then, to quote my father, "spare me the lecture."

You know who got us off topic? No? Try your bathroom mirror.

Isn't it past your bedtime? The orderlies will be there any minute to strap you down for the night...

Kevin 06-09-2004 11:46 PM

All of y'all need to get off eachother's backs.

She said that what she did was in poor taste. Jono, time to forgive.

Ladies attacking Jono -- his comeback was probably not the most tactful thing ever and it wasn't Delta Gamma that was responsible, it was an individual. On that point you are right. As for your tact or lack thereof, I dunno.. take a look at what you've been typing.

Anyhow.. I was going to post something nice in this thread, but since it's gone to hell I don't really see the point.

JonoBN41 06-09-2004 11:49 PM

I am not your parent, but if I were I'd paddle your ass and send you to your room.

There are alot of brats on GC who think they know everything and attack anyone who disagrees. Most of them seem to be female brats who don't know when to shut up and be reverent - for a moment.

A President of the United States has died, and he didn't have Monica crouching under the desk in the Oval Office.

Kevin 06-09-2004 11:51 PM

RIP Pres. Reagan.

As a child, this guy was the President from before my 2nd birthday. I didn't know anyone else could be the President.

In retrospect, I regret being wrong on that one. I wonder what today would be like if we had a leader like him at the helm of the country.
