Wow. That's about the most pure, douchiest thing I've ever seen. I'm disgusted, yet undeniably impressed at this douchebaggery.
This.
I'm impressed at how much of a cuntbag this kid is.
Why he got expelled is of no surprise, but why the police had to step in is rather strange to me.
Will someone call the cops when 2 guys play roshambo and one guy gets nutted so hard he passes out?
Wait ? are you serious? Expelled for posting pretty much a "hit it or quit it" list online? Do you understand the consequences of being expelled compared to this dumb list? Detention is the most that should've happened for this maybe suspension. But expelled?

Yeah I certainly can't find anything legally wrong with this x.x. Maybe ethically and morally wrong, and suspension seems adequate but he was expelled? On top of that facing legal charges? For a friggin list?

Seriously, there are kids getting killed and PHYSICALLY bullied and were wasting our time on some kid's list of his opinion on the female body?

Everyone here should read this. [http://www.city-journal.org/2008/18_1_campus_rape.html]


So please, stop quoting that "1 out of 4 college women are raped" garbage. Yes, it's an important issue, and that's all the reason why you shouldn't trivialize it by throwing around made up numbers. And I'm aware that there's a percentage of rape that goes unreported, but even if you factor that in, it's no where near 25%.

Who cares? Teenagers, both BOYS AND GIRLS, talk about who they'd kiss/date/sleep with ALL THE DAMN TIME. And they tell their friends who they think is attractive. Are you honestly telling me that you've never told a friend that 'that guy over there is cute' (if youre a girl) or 'I'd hit that' (if you're a guy)? At most, this kid should get some sort of in-school punishment, because it is inappropriate, but I wouldn't say the police should get involved.

So basically what they're saying is, the police, who must have better things to do, are spending time and resources chasing oversexed teenagers*?


*which is, at last count, pretty much all of them

That sounds like some paranoid BS to me.
You've obviously never been to a mandatory university "You're all dumb cavemen that need to be taught how not to rape women" presentation that accusess male students they're unknowingly perpetuating a "rape culture"

http://thefire.org/article/12301.html
You are aware that university is where a lot of people get raped right? People get raped and 99.9% of the time it's men doing it, so why not talk to them about the issue? Or are you one of those people who thinks women are responsible for their own rape and therefore only preventative "don't get yourself raped you silly bint" techniques should be taught?

If we can give lectures to women telling them to always go out in pairs, watch their drinks and not go out on the street at night, then we can give lectures to men educating them on consent laws and negative attitudes towards women and sexuality. Just because you know how to behave yourself doesn't necessarily mean the guy next to you does. Saying "hey, don't rape girls" may hurt your pride, but if I ran a university I'd rather hurt a couple feelings and hopefully prevent a rape than pretend everyone has their shit together and then find out some woman got assaulted.
Campus rape is rare, and when it happens it gets publicity. Giving a presentation that suggests college students find rape acceptable and requiring male students attend it makes the assumption all male students are idiots who don't know what rape is and will most likely attempt it.

"Hey, don't rape girls" doesn't hurt my pride. Even suggesting any adult man needs to be told this is insulting and prejudicial because you're saying I don't know what it is and will most likely try it if not told

It's sexism to suspect all men as being potential rapists based on their gender. You don't even see it in what you're saying do you? Let's Replace just a couple words in your statement.

Replaced words are bold:
"Just because you know how to behave yourself doesn't necessarily mean the black guy next to you does. Saying "hey, don't steal" may hurt your pride, but if I ran a city I'd rather hurt a couple feelings and hopefully prevent a robbery than pretend everyone has their shit together and then find out some store got robbed"

See how lumping men in with a small percentage of actual rapists looks now? "ALL men need to be told..." is as big a problem as saying "ALL black men need to be told..."

I'm not changing around sentences or reordering words here, If there was nothing prejudicial about your statement, then it wouldn't come across that way no matter who I replaced "man" with or what crime/negative action I replaced "rape" with.
Campus rape ain't all that rare. It's reportedly 1 in 4 college women. And that's for a crime that is notoriously under-reported.
25% of college women are raped? You must have heard wrong because do you have any idea how big a chunk that is?

--In the last count taken in 2007, there were 18,248,128 students in the US that year:
--57% of those were women, making it 10,401,433 female students
--25% of that is 2,600,358
--So that would mean 2,600,358 women were raped just in college alone, and going by what you said, probably more than that
--A smaller percentage of men in college means there would have to be a greater percentage of rapists among them, both single and multiple offenders, to prey upon the greater number of women. That would mean anywhere from 30%-50% of male college students were rapists in 2007.

The FBI reported only 89,000 rape cases NATIONWIDE in 2008...

Do you see how media coverage, constant suspicion, and worry makes people think that rapists and rape is everywhere?

The Duke team getting falsely accused of rape of a black woman (trying not to appear a slut) were condemned immediately by their fellow students, the country, and their professors shows the panicky hysteria involved. Had there not been cell phone video of it proving the sex was consentual, those guys would be sitting in jail, which are nothing but monster factories today, being brutalized by other inmates.

Please don't insult my intelligence. If you want to dispute something I've said, then fine. But if you could do so on some other basis than suggesting I can't read or do simple mathematical computations, I'd greatly appreciate that.

There was a study conducted by Fisher, Cullen, and Turner in 2000 which found that the incidences for rape among women during their college career is one out of four. It is frequently cited in other scholarly literature. Here is a link to a Master's thesis that repeatedly cites the finding of Fisher et al: http://sdsu-dspace.calstate.edu/xmlui/bitstream/handle/10211.10/547/Nelson_Holly.pdf?sequence=1 In fact, the opening sentence of the first paragraph of this thesis' Abstract states that "t is estimated that one out of four students will experience rape or attempted rape during their years at college." (citing Fisher et al.)

There is also a recent study from the Department of Justice which cites the Fisher et al. study for the same proposition (i.e., one out of four college women will be the victim of completed or attempted rape during their four-year college career): http://www.cops.usdoj.gov/pdf/e03021472.pdf

You can also Google "'one out of four' AND college AND rape" and you'll see the same statistic reported by a variety of sources, including college websites warning students of the risk of campus rape.

And your math gets as fuzzy as fuzzy math can get when it assumes that the only class of persons committing campus rape of women is male college students. That's a ridiculous assumption.

The expulsion yeah fine maybe a bit much a nice suspension and a year of detention would probably do better I would really need to see this list to say. However the whole prosecution of the kid well that's some damn fine use of taxpayers money. Meanwhile across town where multiple homicides go unsolved the victims families can rest easy knowing a kid who made a hot or not list will be brought to justice.

No, it's not. It'd be called slander. Libel is printing trash about people. And neither slander nor libel are criminal offenses. They are civil offenses.

I wasn't trying to insult you, so sorry if it came acroos that way, and my math is based on the numbers given by government statistice. All you said was 1 of 4 women in college were rape victims and I broke down the numbers into percentages.

Even just going by the 98,000 rapes listed nationwide each year including both male and female adults and children, you know the number of those being college aged women is going to be a significantly smaller percentage. It's rare. My main point was that treating men as potential rapists because of a small percentage of them have raped someone intentionally is prejudicial.

What's "rare" about one out of four? A figure that the Department of Justice is apparently willing to adopt? There's nothing "rare" about that. That's a pretty high probability.

I'm saying it's rarer than 25% of all female college students being raped because of the sheer numbers involved and it not matching what the nationwide rape statistics say. 25% of any population being a victim of any crime in the US is nuts.

Campus rape is rare, and when it happens it gets publicity. Giving a presentation that suggests college students find rape acceptable and requiring male students attend it makes the assumption all male students are idiots who don't know what rape is and will most likely attempt it.

"Hey, don't rape girls" doesn't hurt my pride. Even suggesting any adult man needs to be told this is insulting and prejudicial because you're saying I don't know what it is and will most likely try it if not told

It's sexism to suspect all men as being potential rapists based on their gender. You don't even see it in what you're saying do you? Let's Replace just a couple words in your statement.

Replaced words are bold:
"Just because you know how to behave yourself doesn't necessarily mean the black guy next to you does. Saying "hey, don't steal" may hurt your pride, but if I ran a city I'd rather hurt a couple feelings and hopefully prevent a robbery than pretend everyone has their shit together and then find out some store got robbed"

See how lumping men in with a small percentage of actual rapists looks now? "ALL men need to be told..." is as big a problem as saying "ALL black men need to be told..."

I'm not changing around sentences or reordering words here, If there was nothing prejudicial about your statement, then it wouldn't come across that way no matter who I replaced "man" with or what crime/negative action I replaced "rape" with.
Campus rape ain't all that rare. It's reportedly 1 in 4 college women. And that's for a crime that is notoriously under-reported.
25% of college women are raped? You must have heard wrong because do you have any idea how big a chunk that is?

--In the last count taken in 2007, there were 18,248,128 students in the US that year:
--57% of those were women, making it 10,401,433 female students
--25% of that is 2,600,358
--So that would mean 2,600,358 women were raped just in college alone, and going by what you said, probably more than that
--A smaller percentage of men in college means there would have to be a greater percentage of rapists among them, both single and multiple offenders, to prey upon the greater number of women. That would mean anywhere from 30%-50% of male college students were rapists in 2007.

The FBI reported only 89,000 rape cases NATIONWIDE in 2008...

Do you see how media coverage, constant suspicion, and worry makes people think that rapists and rape is everywhere?

The Duke team getting falsely accused of rape of a black woman (trying not to appear a slut) were condemned immediately by their fellow students, the country, and their professors shows the panicky hysteria involved. Had there not been cell phone video of it proving the sex was consentual, those guys would be sitting in jail, which are nothing but monster factories today, being brutalized by other inmates.

Please don't insult my intelligence. If you want to dispute something I've said, then fine. But if you could do so on some other basis than suggesting I can't read or do simple mathematical computations, I'd greatly appreciate that.

There was a study conducted by Fisher, Cullen, and Turner in 2000 which found that the incidences for rape among women during their college career is one out four. It is frequently cited in other scholarly literature. Here is a link to a Master's thesis that repeatedly cites the finding of Fisher et al: http://sdsu-dspace.calstate.edu/xmlui/bitstream/handle/10211.10/547/Nelson_Holly.pdf?sequence=1 In fact, the opening sentence of the first paragraph of this thesis' Abstract states that "t is estimated that one out of four students will experience rape or attempted rape during their years at college." (citing Fisher et al.)

You can also Google "'one out of four' AND college AND rape" and you'll see the same statistic reported by a variety of sources, including college websites warning students of the risk of campus rape.

And your math gets as fuzzy as fuzzy math can get when it assumes that the only class of persons committing campus rape of women is male college students. That's a ridiculous assumption.


I wasn't trying to insult you, so sorry if it came acroos that way, and my math is based on the numbers given by government statistice. All you said was 1 of 4 women in college were rape victims and I broke down the numbers into percentages.

Even just going by the 98,000 rapes listed nationwide each year including both male and female adults and children, you know the number of those being college aged women is going to be a significantly smaller percentage. It's rare. My main point was that treating men as potential rapists because of a small percentage of them have raped someone intentionally is prejudicial.


What's "rare" about one out of four? A figure that the Department of Justice is apparently willing to adopt? There's nothing "rare" about that. That's a pretty high probability.

I'm saying it's rarer than 25% of all female college students being raped because of the sheer numbers involved and it not matching what the nationwide rape statistics say. 25% of any population being a victim of any crime in the US is nuts.


No offense, but if I have to choose between the well-recognized scholarly research of academics and your "this is what I think," I'm gonna go with the academics.

And why would the figure be far-fetched? We're talking about a class comprised of young girls, close to the age of sexual experimentation, many of them away from parental supervision for the first time ever and living on their own, just reaching the drinking age or close to it, in an environment were drugs, alcohol, and partying are common. That a number of them disproportionate to the general population would fall victim to rape shouldn't be that surprising. It don't surprise me.

Does he deserve to get suspended? Yes.
Does he deserve a disciplinary speil that starts with a good pimp slap across the face followed by the phrase "The hell wrong with you?" I'd youtube it.
Does he deserve to get arrested and have us waste tax payers money? Meh. I don't think so.

This is the stupidest thing in the world. Arresting someone for things they posted? What a great use of money and time. Since when is talking trash about people a serious offense? I am amazed that they actually arrested him, I should be in jail as well then.
Its called libel.
No, it's not. It'd be called slander. Libel is printing trash about people. And neither slander nor libel are criminal offenses. They are civil offenses.
Hear hear! The boy doesn't deserve getting arrested, but he does deserve to get his ass sued by the girls.

Kids a douche, probably just should have been a suspension for the dancing around like a goblin handing out flyers (expulsions a bit harsh. Being expelled from a school can follow you around way more then a weeks suspension.); but this isn't really jail or juvi worthy. Not by a long shot. Seems like a big waste of time and money to get the police involved. They have way more important things to do then coddle a bunch of school children's parents because a little douche can't shut his trap. I guess I just never understood some peoples blood-lust for vengeance or 'justice at any cost', which is exactly what this is. Parents out for blood, against a dumb-ass teenager.

Even if the parents just decided on a legal case against the BOY, they'd see how much time and money 'justice' for their daughters 'hurt feelings' would cost them. It isn't cheap. Makes me feel a little uneasy how far some of these people would probably go to punish this kid. Which is funny, because you'd find the exact same thing across a lot of Facebook pages (if you looked hard enough.) People only ever talk about themselves, or someone else.

(Also....anyone else kind of want to see the list? Just to see how he worded it. Wonder if he used graphs. He seems like the type of person who'd probably establish an impressive pie chart.)

Freedom of speech much?
True, you CAN say whatever you want, but it doesn't mean you should. I could go into a
full movie theater and yell 'FIRE!", but if I do I`m going to jail or get fined. We do have the
freedom to say anything we want, but that means taking responsibility for what we say.
If I go around at work saying to everyone who passes me by, "I want to be inside you.",
or go online and say "I want to kill the president." then I have to deal with either
being put in jail, fired or whatever comes legally to me. I can't just say it was a joke or
I didn't mean it like that, because the cops will rightfully say back, "Well maybe you should have thought it over, and not said it."

"Don`t do the crime if you can't do the time."
He threatened no one and put no one's live in danger. Your examples are of a completely different nature.

You can't use other people's likeness without their consent. I'm guessing it wouldn't have been that big a deal if it was a simple hot or not thing, but he decided to go and insult them and posting other body parts, so yeah, he's in trouble and he deserves it.
