  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I hear ya! Thank goodness I am graduating in april and wont have to put up with the college drinking any more!

Drinking in itself is not a sin, but getting completely trashed is. which of course is what 99% of the college students that drink do :doh:

Especially love how my roommate who used to be good is now going out to bars and getting drunk every night.... not to mention she's only 19

I go to a Christian college, and there is so much drinking here! My roommate and some of my wingmates are drunk right now, I just left them.

I'm not really looking for advice, just venting! Drunks are so annoying! Ack!
yeah, it just depends on if your school actually enforces a DRY CAMPUS or not. i know some "Christina" universities that allow alchohol and sometimes smoking as long as you are of age. they see it more as a personal conviction, one that they should not have to worry about. Personally, i was thankful my undergraduate college enforced it. It was also nice having quite hours so i could study or go to sleep without stupid people keeping me awake. Well, sometimes the football player would be playing DOMINOES till 3 AM... ha ha, but they were nice and got quiet when i asked.

I went to a huge party school myself. The good thing was that it was so big that if your goal was to find a huge drunken party you could, but if you wanted sober friends, there were those too. I found them, mostly.

I remember one summer one of my classmates got caught with beer in his dorm room...he was also 30-something. ^_^

I go to a dry campus and I know they're pretty strict when it comes to drinking, even smoking on campus. It's a bit of a contrast since I was going to a regular university before transferring here. The school I went to was pretty liberal to say the least. The RAs weren't any better then some of the students they were housed with. Alcohol was pretty prevalent and I was first shocked when I saw the bottles in a friend's room from over the weekend.

In my opinion there is a simple solution to the drunkenness of rez life. Live off campus. It isn't that much more expensive, at least it isn't at my school, and that way you can get a place with friends who you know to be responsible, or who you care enough about that you don't mind seeing them act like idiots every now and then.
