a "third rail" has been laid
 
Here on GC, a "third rail" has been laid - and if you touch the third rail you will get dissed or worse by lovelyivy, librasoul, and their ilk. The third rail is race. What a shame.

I can't refute or agree with Hoosier's post, but one thing I do know about Librasoul is she highly offended by fashion "don'ts" As we all should be.

As for Lovelyivy, I haven't discussed last year's unfortunate prairie skirt phenomenon with HER but I can't imagine she'd approve either.

DeltAlum 10-04-2003 12:56 AM

Can somebody please tell me what this is about?

KDbutterfly 10-04-2003 02:01 AM

I think he's referring to this post: Here

I think ABC should know
 
I think ABC should know:

1 - the Alfred U. study of hazing in athletics is biased and wrong

2 - altho black GLOs and white GLOs both have Greek Letters on their T-shirts and houses, they aren't very similar. Both have their good points.

3 - the single worst case of hazing last year - two ladies drowned - involved a black GLO.

4 - Rush Limbaugh is right, and is not a druggy. He stepped on the third rail, mentioning the player's race.

According to a reliable internet source, no ostrich has ever been observed with his or her head burried in the sand.

What or whom does the word "ILK" refer to or mean?:confused: :o Is this slang for another word that is taboo?

Please clarify.........

*LOL* I almost committed one by purchasing a highly knockedoff Dooney & Burke handbag.:p

"ilk" is a word. You could substitute the word "fold" in for it and the sentence would mean almost the same thing.

"ilk" refers to people who are cut from the same cloth, so to speak. So people who look alike, or think alike, or act alike.

Here I suspect it refers to race.



:D I heart vocab

Here on GC, an "absurd rail" has been laid - and if you touch the rail you will get dissed or worse by hoosier and his ilk. The absurd rail is intelligence. What a shame.

I suspect it does to, which is why I'm asking. So again, HOOSIER, what do you mean? :mad: :o

AXWhoah 10-05-2003 02:52 AM

It seems to me that Hoosier is just trying to stir things up and get people bickering with each other since he/she knows that race is a hot button issue. I say, let's just ignore this thread all together. It's not really talking about anything constructive anyway...

erniegurl00 10-05-2003 03:49 AM

Maybe it's time we locked this thread.

Dionysus 10-05-2003 03:55 AM

Move it to the Chit Chat forum. This has nothing to do with greeklife.

PM_Mama00 10-05-2003 10:37 AM

What are the first two rails? I must have missed that one.

But you do have to add the choo choo for the ridiculous people with multiple GC names, hiding behind those.


BTW... what happened to the Grapist?

DGMarie 10-05-2003 10:58 AM

The third rail is aluding to the third rail of an electrically powered train/commuter train/subway. The first two rails support the train and the third rail powers it. If you touch it, you can/will be electrocuted.

Tom Earp 10-05-2003 11:18 AM

I just wonder Why hoosier gets so much flaming? It started out about all of his posts that were placed on GC from another information source of which I get also. Were they mostly Negative, of course they were. Why? There is little GOOD News about Greeks printed. 99% Bad News compared to Good News 1 %

Is he wrong, No. Is He a Greek Fraternity Alum, Yes. Is He Black/White, who knows? His Fraternity is like mine, we have mixed races, well just like others.

But everytime He posts something, he gets a flame job!:(

Is it necessary?

I do not want to raise the ugly head of racisim over this! But until I meet someone from GC, see a picture, or see an outburst, I have no clue from a Name what race or who that person is.:)

Some of the pettiness does go a little over board.:(

So at first when I saw hoosier naming names, I was like :eek: woah way to go there buddy. But then I saw this being said about me

They are always good when you feel like being a bitch to someone who can't really answer back in any coherent manner, although after a while it gets to easy. I mean why bother arguing with PM Mama? I know I'll win the argument. I just will. There's no mystery there.
What the trukk? I haven't said anything "ignorant" in a long time! GET OVER IT.

ps... Lisa I love u and I've learned a lot from you. You haven't been a bitch and that's why I've learned.

grapest was deleted by the Owner of Site. He/She was getting a little out hand! !

Now, we may proceed with GC!

CarolinaCutie 10-05-2003 01:47 PM

Obviously, unless Hoosier is misinformed, the "ilk" he speaks of is not race, because the people he listed are not all black. I think "ilk" refers more to "group of ladies with strong opinions which they feistily defend":D
