    John Wesley must be so proud

    There's probably not enough kids under 8 running around the Wesleyan campus to garner NAMBLA's attention. "Sex before eight - or it's too late." I don't think they're talking about a clock.

    Redundant questions of an expediter

    There are certainly worse ways to come into expediting cold and not knowing a lot about it than to start with Expediter Services. It's a good way to learn the business and see how it all works, without having to invest a lot, that's for sure. If you happen to luck into a really crappy fleet...

    Redundant questions of an expediter

    There are some that do that (at least I think they still do that). There are also a few O/Os who sign on with ES instead of signing on directly with a carrier (apparently there are some benefits to doing that, but I don't know what they are, maybe a better fuel discount or something). But mostly...

    URINALS

    A turtle's pee can and often does contain salmonella.

    Redundant questions of an expediter

    Expediter Services is a fleet owner. A really big one. And rather experienced.

    Franklin Graham and the cultural battles.

    Things (including attitudes) are also skewed when gay rights are presented as civil rights (who wants to be known as being against civil rights?), and same sex marriage is presented as "marriage equality" (which isn't even a thing, but who wants to be known as being against equally?). These are...

    URINALS

    Most animals pee on the ground. The ground is an excellent filter. Asphalt, not as excellent.

    Yeah, it happens a lot, and Expediter Services is one of those owners.

    The first time you're dead asleep and that alert goes off, you'll at least briefly consider throwing it out the window.

    Lady like? Play ball, not for the dainty and delicate.

    Yeah, if this was baseball instead of softball, she'd have to wear her catching gear while batting, cause she'd get drilled with a four seamer.

    Welfare reform

    What facts? "just doesn't seem to" is not a fact. I can't imagine there have been very many, but I'm sure there are some, who went, "Hey, if I have another kid I'll get more welfare!" But by the same token, few went, "I can't afford another baby!" because they knew they could. Mothers...

    John Wesley must be so proud

    Well, for one, hazing, by its very definition, is a social activity, not an antisocial activity. Its purpose is to initiate a person into a group of others. You can't get more social than that. Binge drinking is antisocial, if you do it alone. If you do it at a party as part of a large social...

    Welfare reform

    Well, Welfare women are known for doing this. Not every Welfare mom, but enough so that it is a stereotype based on truth.

    John Wesley must be so proud

    Hazing certainly goes on in all fraternities and sororities (and sports teams, and gangs, and schools, military units, etc.). It's a way of initiating a person into a group. Hazing activities can benign, stupid pranks, all the way to abuse and criminal conduct. But 99% of hazing activities in...

    John Wesley must be so proud

    Not really. "Rowdy" has a pretty generic definition of noisy and disorderly, unruly, undisciplined, disruptive. It's nearly impossible to study, or sleep, in a frat house. We can use your definitions of morally reprehensible if you like, as long as it meets your honest criteria for what you find...

    Gun free warship

    What's sad is... I don't normally read them but in this case I was curious about the comments under the story, because there were so many of them. In the comments, even after being informed that it was satire, there were people who preferred to believe the satire rather than the actual truth.

    Gun free warship

    For future reference, the DuffleBlog is a "The Onion" type of satire site that deals primarily with military topics. Also for future reference, satire shouldn't be taken seriously.

    John Wesley must be so proud

    OK, you got me me. That fraternity is typical and wholly representative of every frat on every campus.

    John Wesley must be so proud

    Frat houses are mostly rowdy and loud, but mostly rather benign places that rarely reach the level of morally reprehensible.
