I'm just pointing out how sad it is for grown men to get worked up enough over the issue to badmouth some kid they don't even know. And it's particularly funny to me that you assume that anybody who thinks a college kid that does something stupid doesn't need message board warriors talking about him being a tool must still be in college.JohnDawg said:I could care less that the recruits went to a strip club. Who hasn't been to a strip club? But some freshman kid bragging about it on different recruits' Facebook pages? Big time tool. Plain and simple. You're not going to change anyone's opinion of your friend so just close your laptop and go get started planning next weekend's recruiting party.
Never said the kid wasn't stupid for posting that. And yes it's inevitable that once it's out there, some losers are going to spend all their time talking about it. I was just pointing out (1) that while it's inevitable that there will be some losers that run with it once it's out, it's still regrettable that people feel the need to post the kid's name and picture when talking about it and (2) that it was pretty ironic that people spending significant times on message boards felt the need to call the kid a douche b/c he was dumb enough to post something he shouldn't have on the internet (if you're still not getting it, people outside of the interwebs chat rooms, if they knew nothing else, people would generally presume that an 18 year old kid that thought it was a good idea to talk about strip clubs on face book < grown men spending significant time on message boards talking about the activities of 18 to 22 year olds as far as douchiness goes.)jamdawg96 said:No one is arguing the fact that stalking 18 year old boys is sad. This isn't Scout. The issue at hand, is that said friend of yours blew his own wad on this whole situation that could have simply been an urban legend. No one should be bothered by your friend taking the recruits to the pony, even if he bought one of em a blow job. If you ask me, that's a hell of a welcome package for a dude that can't even buy a beer. But there are some things best left unsaid, at least for a little while. That is all. It's not an issue of violations or recruiting. It's just an issue of common sense.
Humiliation is a relatively harmless cure for naivety.
