You buy a new stereo and drop it down your stairs when you're taking it into the house and you expect a refund?

If some of you have gone to college, and sometimes I doubt it from some of the crap that's posted (or if you did you truly did waste your money) you should know that refunds are rare and happen only if a very limited set of circumstances occur, usually within the first couple weeks of classes. Expecting a refund due to your own illegal actions/violation of dorm and college rules is unrealistic. Or another example of the entitlement mentality of Gen Y.
Entitlement mentality? LOL. How many fights do you think happen in campus housing? One? Violation of dorm rules? I guess they better start kicking folks out for drinking on campus next because it violates the rules. That will be one barren campus soon.

What college did you you guys go to where violence was just ignored? Read your handbook.

Like I said previously I went to KU. Read your handbook. LOL. What college did you go to where everybody carried their handbook around and followed every rule to a T is what I'd like to know. One of the academies?

Only if you get caught. These girls got caught.


As a note, an entire case of beer will fit into a large suitcase. Also, one of those lemonade/drink mixing machines is an excellent way to keep a grain alcohol punch mixed and cold.


And you totally missed my point.

if i were them i'd sue, or simply not pay it.

makes no sense
1) No, what you propose with the stereo is called stealing, or fraud. obviously you believe lying is appropriate. As a note, the students breached, not the college.

2) If that is an example of your logic train with two Bachelor's degrees then you, or more likely your parents, did waste their money.

Let law enforcement deal with it. It didn't happen in class or disrupt classes or anything. I guess fights at football games will be getting folks kicked out next?? Plenty of football players at KU back in the day used to get in brawls all the time at their on campus housing and never got kicked out of the university. Hell there were always fights at frat parties and the like. 18-20 yo's with belly's full of beer make bad mixes at times. This case seems strange.
While a bit extreme, it was a fight that escalated. People seem to think there's never been a fight on college campuses before. Especially during rival weekends. The cops/DPS usually didn't want to hear who started what and just dispersed everyone.

So you wandered around campus with a suitcase and lemonade machine towed behind you in a wagon? Are you sure you don't below at one of these OWS protests??

And these kiddies are part of what makes up OWS....

Maybe the kiddies should have been thinking about their education rather getting into a fight.

Obviously they are not taking any courses on how to live by the rules...
It's COLLEGE!!! Fighting and acting like an ass is what college kids do. They're young, dumb and immature.

I mean, "current crop of college kiddies?" LOL....you kidding me. My father can tell you stories of his time at Northwestern that would make the hair on the back of your neck stand up, and he was there from '58-'63. Stuff that i wouldn't have dare thought of doing when i was in school.

What are you guys....a bunch of angels? Either that, or you grew up waaaaaay too sheltered.

The ignorant part of your statement is that you are attempting to elevate yourself while stepping on the necks of ALL of the Black Americans who came before you and sacrificed life, limb and liberty so that people like yourself (and your immigrant African family) could take advantage of ALL that America has to offer. It was the descendants of slaves who fought for Civil Rights in America and you spit on those people each and every time you post your anti-Black American vile.

I suspect that you are bitter because despite the fact that you believe yourself to be superior to Americans who happen to be the descendants of African slaves, your Black self is treated exactly the same. I really must make you angry that some White people see your Black face and check the n!$$er box on you, right?
