This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Post being replied to

I would propose a preemptive course of action. by Bruno95

Statements of fact:

1. Notre Dame never had jurisdiction over Carroll. Their rules did not apply west of Holy Cross Drive. We drank what we wanted and we claimed we fucked chicks. They at least slept over a lot.

2. 93% of all times I have laughed myself into a respiratory event occurred in that building.

3. Of the 20 strangest people I've ever met, least eleven lived in Carroll.

4. Guys who lived there once lit a steel trash can on fire, as part of a "homeless person" party theme.

Notre Dame has no authority and should be given no ability to "demolish" Carroll Hall.

But there's no need to be pussies about it and protest.

Instead, this should be handled as a matter of commonwealth business. We should agree on a day -- maybe Friday of an exam week -- and burn it the fuck down. I am willing to contribute some jet fuel and $1,500 worth of alcohol for this party. I'll see if I can't get the Mrs. to give me an HJ in a van in D6 at the end of the night.

Does this proposal interest anyone?
