The Official BYU 2015 Death to Us by Everyone We Meet Watch Thread

Also, in response to the Dude, let me revise my statement about BYU and non-LDS students. It is not a good place for nearly every non-LDS person. If you had to ask me to put percentage of the non-LDS population that BYU is a good place for, I would put the percentage at about the percentage of LDS students at BYU, 98.7%.

For example, I absolutely acknowledge that BYU was the great place for Trent Hosick even thought he was not LDS. It was an oversight on my part to not state "BYU is a horrible place for nearly every non-LDS person."

Since you are derelict in your logic fail posting about that particular cougjunkie post, let me do your job for you. It wasn't a partial logic fail, it was a full logic fail. Just because you think the antiquated parts of the honor code (i.e. alcohol and premarital sex) are unrealistic to be followed unless you have a spiritual basis for them, it doesn't follow that you are okay for your child, or an athlete for that matter, to consume illegal drugs.

See? You don't really need me to do your heavy lifting for you.

[Shaka]

This doesn't even make sense.

So now you are trying to make enemies with Commando, Shaka, and all the other 30+ year old virgins on the board?

Virtue is it's own reward.

[fusnik]

Ok.

Remind me in the future that you aren't normal and I wouldn't mesh with you well IRL.

Enjoy your braided belt, I'm sure it'll make a comeback.

I stole my wife's again last night.

That's not funny.....its gross.

I'm probably closer to the weirdo category than normal and you were able to mesh with me IRL. You underestimate your ability to bridge the gap with weirdos.

I don't own nor do I enjoy a braided belt.

You have obviously lived a very sheltered Utah based life. Do you really think that every non-lds person between 18-24 consume alcohol, have premarital sex and lack morals?

If you believe that only LDS people can follow these rules, why wouldn't you become even more immersed in the religion, especially passing these values on to your children?

Doubt it.

The vast majority of individuals 18-24 do consume alcohol and/or have premarital sex. It is comments such as saying someone "lacks morals" because they have premarital sex or have a drink that I don't want to immerse my son too much into the LDS church. I don't want him to think that having a glass or craft beer or wine with a meal means someone "lacks morals."

Except that BYU cares so much for his well-being that they will not even allow him to finish his degree right now. He has been forced to withdraw from school. He needs to get away from BYU as soon as possible. He made a mistake when he signed with BYU, he needs to minimize the damage and get out.

Like you know that.

You're just mad because I beat you in Dungeons and Dragons again. Can we still be friends if I admit publicly that you are fantastic at LARPing?

I do think you should teach him that if he drinks craft beer he should find every opportunity he can to bring it up in conversation.

I hope for his sake that Jamaal Williams doesn't return to BYU next year. He is very talented and should have a lot of options and nearly all of them are better than returning to BYU.

Spend the time working out and preparing for the combine, better than BYU.
Seek out a P5 team that has a need for a RB , better than BYU.
Transfer to a DII school and play immediately to prepare for the NFL, better than BYU.

He needs to get out of the negative environment of BYU/Provo. Unless he did something illegal, which is clear that he didn't, he should be playing for BYU this year. It is unreasonable to expect someone without a religious basis for following the Honor Code to follow it. It is sad to see a good kid punished for being a 20 year old. BYU provides a good environment for some of the LDS population, I don't understand why someone who is not LDS and has other options would want to be there.

Apparently, only the Natty Light drinkers lack morals.
