its something you expect to see on 'the' frat boy's parentally financed

Yeah frat boys are all evil.
They all get stuff from there parents and drink beer all day.
Oh, don't forget they date rape and cheat too.
It's just a sticker, and as stupid as you may think it is
it says nothing about a person that has it.

no, because you have grateful dead stickers you felt personally
offended. i dont like the dead; i think they suck. their music sucks,
and ill say it sucks, because i think it sucks. i think hippies suck,
and ill say that too. i live on the end of town with 90% of the
psuedo-hippies that go to school here. trust me, they suck. defend em
all you want, but a hippie is still a hippie.
and that hippie will most likely suck.
oh, and frat boys suck too, but thats another story. as far as whatever
that one guy said about them, its pretty much all true. you should see
all the rules and regulations against frats at my school. know why the
university made all those rules? cause frats suck. too much alcohol,
too much promiscuity, too much disturbance and disorderly conduct.
its funny how people get their panties all in a bunch when someone says

I'm all growed up, but I happen to agree with Ben (uh-oh, world is ending,)
the majority of frat boys I've ever encountered seem to be the one who need
maturity.
His opinion is valid, whether you like it or not. Whether or not it's based
in reality could be argued. Not by me - I've seen frat crap enough to have
a good idea.

You should put a *most* or *in many cases* with these statements.
The lack of them implies that you think ALL hippies suck or
that ALL frats suck, and that just is not true.

peter,
get a life. i dont mean to be stepping on anyones toes, but i see i
broke a couple of yours.
i think hippies suck. i think frats suck. i dont care if you or anyone
else feels different. i dont hate them, i dont think they should all be
dead, i dont think they should all move away from me, and i dont even
think that i have any more right to existence than they do. and really,
who the hell am i to tell them how to live their lives?
but that doesnt change the fact that they suck.
i base my opinions on personal, real world decisions. i go the school
which has the largest greek community *anywhere*. ('sides greece, but
thats a different greek) i know what i see. i live in an area where
90% of the people are around me are hippies. i know what i see.
from what i see, i think they suck.
get the point?
small hippie anecdote: the vehicle of choice for the new generation,
pseudo-hippie is none other than an SUV, with a model year larger than
the year of their high school graduation.
that is one of the reasons these hippies suck. if youre gonna be a
hippie, at least have the fuckin balls to be a hippie, not some half ass
wannabe.
strangely enough, the same vehicle classification can be applied to frat
boys.

I wasn't offended. Think what you like. I think you listened to Casey
Jones one too many times and got sick cause you had friends who played
Skeletons in the Closet over and over again. Ever been to a show? Doubt
it. I think if you did, different opinion. Fact is, the man had more
talent than 99% of artists alive. and that's MY opinion and the opinion
of MILLIONS of other people.

No. Rules are made to protect the dumbasses from themselves. I knew of a
few fraternities, who actually were responsible people. Another

step on my toes, I have dealt with this kind of thing before. I just want
other people out there to be aware that you are big time generalizing.
I went to UVA where the Greek system is just as large as your school and I
have seen my share of typical frat behavior, hell I lived on teh same street
as many, not in one for the record. But I know , personally, me included as
well as many of my brothers and friends that you are WAY off.
Just to prove it I do not drive a SUV of my graduation year. I happen to
Drive a '99 Jetta, I listen to Grateful from time to time, (might be in my
tape deck right now) have short hair, wear a tie to work, living free from
my parents for years.
Now what does that make me. Not a hippie and a FRAT boy with taste,
class, and a open mind about what makes this world go around. Does that
sound like a stereotypical frat boy? I think not.

i was pretty sure it was AS PLAIN AS DAY and PRETTY FUCKING OBVIOUS that
i was generalizing. good thing you cleared it up for the rest of the
group, though.
> I went to UVA where the Greek system is just as large as your school
not that im bragging or anything, but i doubt it. PSU has the largest
alumni association and the largest greek system.
and is the most expensive big 10 school....
that sucks too...

Yes - the US ad slogan circa 1990 was Fahrvergnügen but a later bumper
sticker (I have one) did a pun on it and said Fukengrüven and had the
little stick guy in a sort of dancing pose.
BTW - the little stick guy actually has a name - Otto Bahn. :-) Saw
it at the bottom of a VW ad where it was mentioned that VW had a
trademark on it.

and i was pointing out the fact that stereotypes arent just random
judgments. they are rooted in the truth. true they usually get blown
way out of proportion, but they dont come from nowhere. find me one
classic stereotype in any social, economic, racial, religious, or
nationalistic group that *isnt* rooted in the truth.

i would consider myself an 'artist' to some degree, and i would

that his music sucks though.

does it matter? i could go on and on about my personal experiences with

ill state them again, if anyone missed it:
hippies suck. frat boys suck.

that is fine. I know better, and I can live with myself knowing I am not

That was the most sorry ass attempt at a flame I've ever seen in my life.It
should go more like this:
People in fraterneties are fucking sissies that are afraid of the real
world.They are away from mommy and daddy and the feel the need for
acceptance,so they join a frat.The "You can humiliate me all you want just let
me in your club"mentality say's it all.I used to live in a college town and I
would see these losers every year,Pledging,s/b "Pleading" for acceptance by
other losers that think that safety comes in numbers.Frats are for PU55IES
PERIOD.It's like the same reason people start smoking,They start because they
think it looks cool,And they want acceptance.To have a club is one thing if you
have a hobby or something,But for a bunch of people to have a club
for..............What? is pretty lame.It's just a way for losers to make
friends because they can't do it in the real world by themselves.The more I go
on with this flame,The more I realize it too sucks.So let me just end now

you dont like girl scout cookies.
as far as that 'other' crap im trying to 'sell', i was merely pointing

day i am in town.

i thought frat boys werent supposed to use the word "frat"?

yes. thats exactly what im trying to do. im actually going to write my
thesis on why frat boys suck. people worldwide will use me as a
credible source when they do their own research to expose the suckyness
(or is that suckieness?) of frat boys. i will become legendary.
eventually, when all frat houses are extinct, people will throw
themselves at my feet, proclaiming me the supreme being, and ruler of
all existence.

along with it. (Country clubs, alcoholism, schmoozing and sucking up to

Fill us in, what mis-information?
Stereotypes exist, because a large percentage of the group fit into it.
I believe that you should be aware of the different stereotypes, but they
should not change how you treat people.
At first I treat people the way I want to be treated, and then I treat them
like they treat me.
Keep in mind that 99% of your DNA is the same as everyone else, and that
includes hippies and frat boys.
