Wait. LOL! What? What's wrong with you? LMBO!

And sometimes I go out for other reasons to, but not so much when I was in college. And even now, in the back of of mind, is always, "you might find something."

I hope you get regular STD tests. Eww.

And idk about going to parties and bars in order to meet someone and hook up. I know a lot of my sisters go to the bars on Thursdays to just go out. They don't go out to hook up with someone.

I'm not sure what the fact that they're my sisters has to do with anything? I'm just saying that they are people who go out for the fun of dressing up and going out, not looking to hook up with someone. Most of the people I work with go out for fun, not to hook up with someone and they're not my sisters. Sure a few of them go out looking for someone to hook up with but most of them go out because they know someone having a party and want to go hang out.

Your own?

For future reference, don't assume what others are thinking or are about to type. It colors the tone of your post and can distract people from what you are about to say. I didn't read the rest of that post but I would have if you didn't include the silly "listen to meeeeeeeee" qualifier.

The kid is clearly one of those token campus conservatives who says stuff just to get people riled up. Not only did it work at AU, it worked on GC!

My undergrad was Ground Zero for a date-rape case gone terribly wrong. Basically, he said they had consensual sex; she couldn't remember anything because she was too drunk. John Stossel came to campus and everything! The University had to settle with the student for millions of dollars and now entering freshmen have to go through this boring role-playing seminar about how men shouldn't have sex with drunk women since they can't reasonably give consent.

I guess my "riled up"-o-meter requires more.

Nope. I can't wade through a thread without scrolling through snobby, snarky, self important insults aimed at others. You can't act expect others to give you the benefit of the doubt over and over again with the same result. I'm not going to, anyway.

If you didn't read the rest of the post, why respond? What a waste of time.

That might be the same presentation we saw.

It might be boring, but it's a good point to make and for some reason people seem to forget how often that situation arises. In the example he gave us it was hard to not sympathize with both the guy and the girl...and presumably a jury would have a hard time seeing the situation in black and white as well. Bottom line was that even if people only care about themselves it's in a guy's best interest to not hook up with a drunk chick and in a girl's best interest not to hook up with a guy while drunk.

And thusly gave more credence to my assumption.

If that's what excites you. And you can stop posting without announcing it.
