Regardless of race, color, creed, or sexual orientation, everyone in the country has one uniting factor in common... We all hate sitting in traffic. I don't really care what his position is on college climbing walls. But he is indeed a giant doosh. Or is he a turd sandwich?

Wat?

Pay for a gym membership; it's cheaper than getting a useless degree in college.

c'mon dude. If you're gonna troll you should at least put some effort into it or be witty or something. Do better.

I was mostly making a statement about the unintended consequences of Title IX.

Christie is right, and here's why.

Universities are like miniature governments. They are large, bureaucratic and a student (citizen) can live at a university and have everything they need on campus. But maybe these bureaucratic institutions should provide the minimum on campus, save their constituents (students) money and leave some of the more nuanced activities to the efficiency of the private sector.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
