Stop shitting up this thread with your terrible reading comprehension ability.

After 21 most people live and party in nearby off-campus communities at most schools, and the college should just have nothing to do with it.

That's true, which is why I don't think lowering the standards of evidence is as big of a deal as the article makes it out to be, since the college can do whatever they want to do anyway. More accountability all-around would be good. I was proposing accountability for the accuser if they...

Arguing with idiots on the internet.

It's the same burden of proof used for all civil law cases in the US. To say it is really low would be to question the validity of all US civil law.

It's not a low standard of proof when you're not talking about criminal conviction.

Why even have a drinking age if you're going to let college kids drink themselves into oblivion anyway? All this drinking is just causing too many problem, and ridiculous rape allegations are just one of them. I think the absurd accusations of 'campus rape culture' would go down if there was...

It IS absurd. They miraculously stopped flunking as many freshman out by changing the probation policies once they had finished construction of more dorms to scam them out of another year of on-campus housing. And I won't even go into the campus parking situation.

No, they don't give the students an opportunity to learn. They know the professors don't teach worth a shit. They know that the freshmen that do pass have to resort to cheating in their overpacked auditorium sized classrooms. They know exactly what kind of scam they're setting up. The first...

You established it in your example.

I work at a university where drinking has historically been a very large problem. For decades it was because of very permissive attitudes. Once zero tolerance alcohol bans were put in place, things changed for a little while, but then the administration stopped caring about it again. My...

You're talking about a new example. In this case the accuser's testimony is less likely valid given the fact that she was admittedly drunk and the accused was not. Therefore no way you can have a preponderance of the evidence in that instance. You would need a third party to bring evidence...

I was trying to think of a way to limit the abuse by making the accuser take responsibility for their own drunkenness.

She would have to prove that more likely than not she was raped. That seems pretty hard to prove if it's a lie. You guys seem to be under the impression that it's really easy to prove a false rape accusation, when it's not. Your example also doesn't even match my example if the male wasn't...

I'm lost now.

All the good streamers are doing pretty well, so I can't say its not efficient if your win rate is high enough. I just fucking suck at opening packs, and I'm playing the wrong events. Have to do those 7 round sealed events if I want to play sealed, otherwise grind 8-4 and premier drafts.

double post

The power 9 was never released on MTGO... Until now.

Everything I ever wanted to know about being a fat chick, and lots that I didn't.

Vintage Masters is awesome. I can't break even playing events even with a fucking 78% win rate, but I've made over 700 tix since Friday flipping cards on my 5 accounts.

It's not absurd.Preponderance of the evidence, aka, more likely true than not true, is the same standard of evidence used in all US civil law cases. More likely true than not true is actually harder to prove than you think it is.

An internet message board thread that I've been reading has mentioned pooping like 4 times on a single page and it's kinda grossing me out.

Actually, if you really want to know, my hatred of fat people comes from the fact that I've wasted the past 8 or so years of my life taking care of my 'disabled' mother, when ~40% of her health problems were from being too fat. And now 8 years later, its more like 70% of her problems are from...

I can't find enough competent people to help me build my crazy academic research publishing platform/social network idea that I have.

Innocent until proven guilty doesn't even apply in civil law cases, let alone college disciplinary matters. By your 'side' I mean the guys are saying the accuser should have to take responsibility for their actions as well. So if the accused admits to being willingly drunk, then being the...

By children, I meant 'not old enough to legally drink.' I was talking about holding both parties responsible for their drunken behavior in the case of any accusation involving two drunken individuals under the legal drinking age. I think there's some reasonable middle ground between Penn...

I wanted to get an ice cream cone on the way home, but thought 5 dollars was ridiculous so I didn't. Fuck living in a beachside tourist town. It's the worst.

Not just being drunk, but being drunk and engaging in sexual misconduct of any kind. And the accuser should face the same penalties if they admit to being willingly drunk, and if they don't admit to being drunk, then they must have consented or have to prove it was forcible rape. I'm actually...

Uh, there's always someone to take their place, and keep paying that sweet sweet tuition bill. I know my school is always looking for reasons to kick out freshmen, because freshmen cost the least to educate, pay through the nose for on-campus housing and meal plans, and there's always a huge...

If we're talking about the law, it doesn't see them as adults. The law says that the vast majority of them can't drink. Most of these state party schools are over 50% freshman, and less than 15% Seniors, so over 75% of the kids on campus shouldn't be drinking at all. And yeah, teaching...

It was actually just a line from some Louie episode this season.

I got into an argument with my mom, because someone had to tell her that Bruno Mars sucks.

People on an internet titty-posting forum were mean to me and mocked my ideas.

What is that even supposed to mean besides being a vague personal attack?

If you're drunk and underage, 'more likely than not' is fine, because you shouldn't have been drunk. We have a drinking age for a reason, and it's not just for driving.

Newflash: 18 years old is not old enough to drink legally. If you do something stupid because you're drunk, the school should kick you out, both of you in the case of you both being drunk and one of you accusing the other of anything. I think armed services members should be legally allowed...

Doesn't matter. Men don't actually care about fucking whales, just being seen in public with them. But seriously, colleges need to start treating all their undergrads like children, because they are children, and neither gender is mature enough to take responsibility for their actions.

In no US state is this the case. The burden of proof for criminal cases is incredibly high. We're not talking about jail in this case. We're talking about being kicked out of school, one school in particular in that article.. If they're both drunk they should both be kicked out...

Yeah Oracles are 11 bucks each and constantly rising so that's not a bad find either.

No fetch lands? Celestial Colonnade?
