I've said the same thing for many years. In an industrial environment like I work in, I rather work on the side of someone who smoked a little the night before over someone who drank until 2am and passed out drunk.Quote:

I have nothing against pot other than the fact that it is still illegal in La. This thread really isn’t about pot as much as it is about the double standards that MH has when disciplining different groups of students. Yes I do have a problem with hypocrites that are inconsistent in the way they do things.Quote:

That is just a fact. I absolutely did insinuate that there are double standards in the way Martin Hall disciplines the group on Glenn Able compared to the rest of the school. That group is by and large the ones that actually go into the games.Quote:

It sounds like one did it in moderation and the other did not. I’d have no problem working on side of someone who has a couple beers after work.Quote:

If it's a situation they haven't encountered before they are often clueless in the decision making department.
Again an event driven decision instead of training MPs to use logic.
It's the same thing as making someone who crossed the street go back across the street for 15 minutes because they don't want anyone crossing the street.
Martin Hall isn't helping MPs use logic.
This is why a principle is better than a law, you can't write laws fast enough, whereas an overriding principle helps people use logic.
It was Johnny Hopkins and Sloan Kettering, and they were blazing it up everyday.
But have you smoked with Willie Nelson? For some, that’s a bucket list item.Quote:

I am kind of paraphrasing, but you get the point.
There is definitely a double standard. Take pot out of it. Let’s say a group of 15 students have a party at their rent house near campus and one gets drunk to the point he has to be rushed to the hospital. From a university stand point nothing happens to those kids discipline wise.
Now take that same situation. Group of 15 kids at a rent house and one is rushed to the hospital because he drank to much, but this group are members of PIKE, PKT, KA, SAE, Theta Xi, Sigma Nu, Lamar Chi, or Kappa Sigma..... Those organizations will be investigated and held responsible for the incident, even though it was at an off campus home.
They no doubt have double standards when it comes to disciplining students depending on who they are and what they are involved in.
If similar happened off campus with players from our football team or baseball team, there would likely be some discipline handed out by the coaches and a possible investigation.Quote:

A group of kids who just attend school, school personnel would not get involved.
Thanks for proving my original point. There are double standards. I definitely see where the coach would get involved from athletic physical fitness stand point. But when 10 to 15 kids do something that is not a sanctioned event held by the fraternity, the other 40 to 60 are not responsible for their off campus actions.Quote:
