Well first of all I just took the part I liked Ma'ma.

Well they say laughing is the best medicine. Looking back on my threads I do come off as defensive and not mindfull that hazing is wrong all together. I'm just sentitive when it comes to peoples own decisions.

Thanks in advance.

Ahem... here goes:
1. I never said I was going to hurt anyone. -and she never said she didn't.
2. If I want to join an org. I should have good grades and community service first.
3. I never said I'm ok with hazing see number one
4. Orgs can say they don't haze, but because they're secret, non-members don't know for sure.
5. Severe hazing incidents still occur; you hear about them in the news. It is likely less severe hazing incidents occur and you just don't hear about them.
6. The blame for hazing lies with the person, not the organization.
7. The hazee also takes some responsibility for letting his or her self get hazed.
8. I wasn't looking for a right or wrong answer -then why the title- in this thread, just opinions from actual Greeks.
9. I respect you.
10. Accepting compromise is a sign of nobility -Unrelated to the rest of the conversation and/or a self compliment.
11. I want to live in a world where people don't care about hazing but community service instead.
12. If no one stops underground hazing, it will never stop.
13. Hope is useless to a dead person.
14. I want to join an org. so I can change my community; my community desperately needs these changes
15. Here's my campaign platform. Please vote me for your org today.
16. Blah blah remember how I lived, not how I died.
17. I'd totally be a respectful member, vote me today.
18. Misquote from Titanic -am I the only MacGyver fan who never watched Titanic? Jack Dawson is totally a different character.

Mad? Over this? You must be kidding.

I'm just saying that not many people are going to waste their time trying to read 20+ lines of block text, no paragraph breaks and puncuation so atrocious that the sentences just run on and on and on and on and on.

Yeah, but then because of lack of punctuation, it ends up meaning the opposite of what you meant for it to mean.

Indeed. I don't know how one can confuse "ma'am" as it is spelled like it sounds.

And you're quite welcome. I do try. I even restrained my commentary... a bit.

LPIDelta 09-12-2007 03:49 PM

Once again Drole, an excellent translation! Thank you!

I appreciate that people have corrected the quote--I have been holding back because I don't want it to seem like I am picking on this poor girl.

_Lisa_ 09-12-2007 03:52 PM

Thanks Drolefille! The translation was awesome!

Thanks for clearing that for me Ma'ma Trojan;)....hee hee!

I'm not poor I live in a comfortable space. I don't want pity from anyone you have the right to believe and say what you want. I respect all greeks that's why I would say ma'ma or sir because I was rasied that way.

You don't call everyone "Mom" out of respect do you?

Ma'am would be appropriate, calling someone Ma'ma is just TOO weird!

Bless her heart.
