A little pain never hurt anyone.
What I don't get is the difference between a group of people joining an organization with full knowledge that they are going to get hazed, and a group of kinky leather wearing spanking freaks knowing (and probably paying) for getting beaten beyond the realm of a college fraternity.
Are the gimps in a different position because they're going to enjoy every minute of getting tied up and whacked around? If so that would make hazing a question of enjoyment which is a very fine line to walk. Along the same line of thought, if someone does something to me that I do not enjoy I am being hazed. I should bring this up with some professors the next time I have a test, or a coach the next time we run sprints at the end of practice for a laugh.
The way I see it, as long as all parties are free to walk out at any time, there shouldn't be any problem with a fraternity doing whatever they want to pledges within the realm of building brotherhood, and using that "within the realm of building brotherhood" is a personal moral thing. If people are allowed to do half of the messed up stuff that goes on behind closed doors in this country, I don't see any problem with a lineup.
And thats all I have to say about that.
