I dare say college life at 75% of the schools/frats/dorms ARE out of control. The media portrayal is an UNDER-representation of what really goes on due to peer pressure to mainatin silence and respect the "brotherhood" over candor and truth. I have three boys in college and we talk openly.
It should alarm fathers of daughters AND sons that sex, alcohol and drugs are everywhere (and in many initiation rites, compulsory). It should alarm fathers that 25% of all college women claim to have been sexually assaulted at some point while in college. Every college male is one accusation away from having their reputation fucked for years, if not forever. It should alarm fathers how many students each year are hospitalized for or die from alcohol poisoning.
Hey, I am absolutely all for having harmless fun. I am also all for what happens between two sober, consenting adults in private is nobodys business. But, it is 2015. Ritualized, coerced drinking, drug use or sex in order to receive inclusion in social groups should be long since a thing of the past by now. If that kid says he doesn't want to eat out the herpes-infested snatch of a stripper, I can imagine how badly the "brothers-for-life" would fuck that kid up in some other way. If that kid was coerced into becoming belligerently drunk to the point of losing the ability to exercise judgment and winds up with herpes, what a hilarious time everyone will have had!
Thinking about what i would want to do during a private dance tonight is one thing. YUM! However, thinking about my 19 year old son being coerced into becoming blasted, then stripped to his boxers and made to perform sex in a room of 100 screaming, drunk, horny dudes (or suffer the consequences of saying "no thanks") is quite another.
Fucking is fucking, but this neanderthal shit sickens me.

Greatest Cub ever: Fergie Jenkins. Look up his stats - unreal! 20 win seasons 7 out of 8 years with 20 complete games in 8 out of 9 consecutive years. And, for most of those, the team sucked.

Second greatest -- maybe one of the current team -- who knows. 108 years of futility means the bar is not that high.

Don't do it! Banging strippers is for your 50s when the ball n chain is dried up and closed for business -- not for your 20's when free pussy is -- well -- like, everywhere . . . nothing good can cum of it, so to speak.

Sorry sweatheart, you're in denial -- you should be having a problem with your boyfriend. It does not clear him of guilt for telling you about it -- he should not have allowed her in initially. No good reason. Do us a favor -- someday, maybe many months/years from now, when you finally have proof necessary to break up with him (or he breaks up with you), have the integrity to come back here and tell us "Thanks all -- you were right -- my man was a dog!"

By the way, IMHO, too many one hit wonders and one album wonders in the RNR HOF. Should have been more exclusive for iconic artists possessing extensive catalogs only.

Obituaries are written by family members/next of kin, typically. Why would they include details of prior employment/income?? They wouldn't
In our area, suicides are not often reported unless the suicide occurred in a public area or if the individual was a public figure of some kind.
Accidental deaths are often not reported unless the death was in a public area or, again, if the deceased was a public figure of some kind.

Anybody who walks up to me, presents his/her open hand soliciting a "tip" is nothing more than a panhandler. NO TIP! NO DONATION! This includes the toll collector and the dreaded tip walk. At least sit on my lap and then ask me for a tip, maybe!
Now, provide me a service which I requested and do so well, sure!

The word tip is often thought of as an acronym for To Improve Performance or To Insure Promptness.
IMHO, anybody providing a service for which quality may or may not be an issue should be tipped. This includes, wait staff, bartenders, bathroom trolls, housekeeping, hairdressers/barbers, limo drivers, taxis, valet parking AND strippers -- assuming services meet or exceed reasonable standards. It could include bouncers and the coat check bimbo, if they do anything out of the ordinary for you. It should not include the troll collecting the cover charge unless you are trying to act like a big shooter (see Goodfellas).
The one that kills me is the valet parker -- I'm going to give him the keys to my $40,000 auto, but I'm not going to give him a few bucks to park it carefully?? Really?
Ever unsure? -- just trust in karma and throw him/her a buck! Can't afford it? -- stay home.

Trump is a political Kardashian in a country currently fascinated with Kardashians. He is Honey Boo Boo -- we watch for the same reason we watch car accidents and fires. While surely capable of steering the republican party into some icebergs and sinking the prospects of fellow republican hopefuls, at the end of the day he cannot win He will ultimately do more to help the democrats than they are able to do to help themselves. We should be careful not to confuse fascination with support. Right now, Trump has brand name recognition and that is why he is leading. When the field narrows significantly and he is forced to compete in terms beyond 5-second clever sound bites, he will crash and burn (but the damage will be done).
Just MHO.

She is the one who made a business decision not to service you.
If anyone is going to (or should) feel awkward, it is her.
Here is my advise -- get out of your own fucking head!!! Be yourself and just be happy. In a polite, friendly, warm way, if you happen to have any interaction, stick with your game plan. By now, she knows what you want, what you like and what you are willing to give to receive it. That is either good enough for her or it isn't -- her choice. Prepare/expect to amicably move on and do not overthink it.
Don't worry. Be happy!!

Highly successful investment pros understand that they are in the sales business -- not in the money management business, sadly (with a few rare exceptions).
Nothing is an easier sale than selling fear. That's why fear mongers are everywhere. People are more motivated to avoid pain than they are to seek pleasure. Granted, people can be motivated to action based on feeding greed -- it just takes longer to close the deal. Plus, people are wary of opportunties that seem too good to be true. People tend to easily believe the promise of bad news, though.
That is why I am a buyer when the fear rhetoric reaches a crecendo.
Lastly, IMHO, the markets are reacting to information coming out of China more than the Feds action/inaction at this juncture.

Regular night clubs have charged more for males than females to enter. Turn the tables . . .
Strip clubs could charge more for females to enter. Then, if they are pros, at least the club gets compensated (and the custies get what they came there for).

I should be at LAX on business in the near future. I'm debating between a first time trip to Tropical Lei in Upland, CA or HK in TJ. Both are quite far, but I am hoping to raise the bar from the typical LAX haunts. Drive over an hour to Upland for extras or drive 2.5 hours to check a couple off the ole bucket list. Tough call for me.

Once (not counting Arnies or Detroit, but those are not unexpected). During a good grind, I not-so innocently asked, "Can he come out?" Next thing I knew, she took me out, strapped on a cover and gave me a RCG right in the VIP area for no extra cash. Of course, I tipped after. Oh yeah, and a COT HJ in Suburban STL.

What about Tropical Lei in Upland, CA (near COI?). I have never been there myself but have read many promising reviews. Local Experts??
