[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Part of the problem, I think, is that many DCUM posters/mothers are so far removed from college -- they're typically in their 50s and not much younger -- that they can't remember what it's like to be young.

Sure, I wanted my kids to go to a reputable school and study.  But I always wanted them to be happy, social, and to have a blast.  When I read posts like "I love the quiet winter days of my remote SLAC" I'm like "what??  are you my grandmother??"

We're talking about kids, man!  They have their whole lives ahead of them to be so damned serious.  You people have lost your minds.    [/quote]

And all kids want exactly the same things all the time and conveniently, those are the things you think they all want. [/quote]

Stop thinking as a grandma.  Seriously, how old are you? [/quote]

You mean your thinking isn’t as flexible as a grandma? Your brain is so calcified that you can only hold one idea of fun at a time? [/quote]

+1. It's very strange thinking. People, including young people, find all kinds of things fun. It's weird to get bent out of shape about it. Lots of us had the chance to pick big state schools with lots of Greek life and big deal sports and didn't, at the age of 18, because we wanted something else. I'm not forgetting what it's like to be young, I remember deciding that wasn't for me when I was young. I've got no issue with people who did want that, but I didn't.[/quote]

You decided it wasn't for you because it frightened you.  But deep down you wanted it.[/quote]

Do you use this argument about rape as well?[/quote]

Wow.  Do you generally make such illogical and grotesque leaps?

“She secretly wanted it” is the rallying cry of rapists everywhere. But I think you already knew that.[/quote]

You are disgusting - much more so than the PP who was obviously NOT referencing rape.   :roll:  :roll: [/quote]
