SAE at Vandy has a gay guy? Thats surprising, but then I don't know much about Vandy chapters.

Do people normally put their gay chapter members on the bullseye?

No, i'm not saying that......and i'm just going by persoal opinion........but 1.) gay guys are usually easy to spot/point out and 2.) I can't see SAE at Vanderbilt giving a bid to a gay guy, unless he just kept it from them. Oh well, not that big of a deal.

I understand and that's what I thought you meant. I know it's not a big deal but two points:

1) You can only spot/point out the obvious gay guys based on your notions of what gay is/gay isn't. Don't forget the gay guys who have yet to a) come out to themselves; b) come out to other people; and/or c) don't fit the "obvious gay guy" notion.

2) Once again, it's not always obvious who is gay. Also, gay guys would probably give bids to gay guys.

ig·no·rance Pronunciation (gnr-ns)
n.
The condition of being uneducated, unaware, or uninformed.

I don't think racial slurs make you ignorant. I'm not accusing you of doing anything, I'm mostly referring to the reaction on the show. I think racial slurs can be a sign of ignorance, but I don't think one equals the other. You don't think its possible for people to be well educated and informed about other races/cultures/lifestyles, but still think less of them? I think its perfectly possible. Its also possible that you'll understand that such terms offend, and yet still use them. Ignorance is a term that gets thrown out a lot, often in place of insensitivity.

But there was while he would have been there. Theta Psi Chapter at Stetson seems to have gone inactive in the last year or so.

I love this season, I just caught up with the episodes last night. There's so much drama, I love it. Colie is already buggin me though. Seriously, who starts CRYING about a guy they've known for two days?

shinerbock · #11 12-07-2006, 06:17 PM

I watched an episode today. While I thought that huge guy went a little over the top, those 2 black guys may be the coolest in the history of the show. However, it is a little lame how half the house has those alter-egos they talk about, get a life.

Yep. I was irritated with Tyrie. He got in Davis' face, told Davis not to put his finger in his face and then put HIS finger in HIS face! But, Tyrie eventually walked away numerous times and Davis then went too far. WAY too far. I'm kind of glad Tyrie and the other guy from Howard forgave him though. I liked Davis. I hate that he had to go and call Tyrie a nigger...changed my view of him.

shinerbock · #13 12-07-2006, 11:13 PM

Well, and i'm not justifying his use. but I still stand my idea that people will say anything to cut to the core of someone in a time of high emotion or anger. Its offensive, but I still don't think the kid is a racist (although I don't like him from what i've seen).

I'm wondering what REALLY happened, because you know they always edit things. It made Tyrie look really bad in the beginning, and if they showed it really how it was, Tyrie had no right to get all gangsta on Davis. Davis was drunk. Have you ever tried to seriously talk reasonably with a drunk guy? A little overboard there Tyrie.

Disclaimer... That still doesn't give Davis an excuse to use the N word.

I'll have to catch the rerun.

The clip I saw showed the Hulk guy being real animated, which always makes situations escalate.

This cast is lame.
