Didn't these frat boys know or care that their chant would be broadcast far and wide? Did they think they would be hailed as heroes?
I don't understand why some people want to embarrass or shame themselves for all the public to see.

i've never thought of a privilege as something that costs thousands of dollars a year.

there is a difference in singing the 80's song "BOMB, BOMB, BOMB IRAN" as a joke then actually planning to bomb Iran.

people need to relax.....the liberal media got their headlines, they will beat this to death.


If a black guy is singing a rap song about raping women and killing cops as a joke with his friends, I think we can put things under perspective that he is not planning in raping women and killing cops.


just saying.......
lol.. haha.. that joke was sooo funny

and smh at "If a black guy..."

What about punishing for humiliating and denigrating students? Oh wait, you cant answer that....

Too much emoting in this thread, and not enough critical thinking.
Where in the Constitution does it prevent a university from punishing a student for denigrating or humiliating other students?

The video was disgusting. They were given until Tuesday to clear out of the house. They should have been tossed out by morning, with the door hitting them on the a** on the way out.
