6. LOL!!!
Naughty, naughty!

Really, what the hell is this "fine" stuff? Making students pay fines like common criminals, or professional athletes for that matter. My brother went to a Baptist college, and while there were some rather harsh rules, there were never any fines. Unreal.

9. What a fun place!
:sarcasm: Narrow minds enter; narrower minds graduate....I bet these students can't play well with others (outside of fellow students) when they leave. You really have to wonder "why" all the rules?

At Liberty University, students can only spend the night, share a dorm, get a motel room, with members of the same sex.

Cool

11. They equate rape with consensual sex.
Is it any wonder that religious wackjobs think of women as their property?

Color me disgusted...

12. Involvement with witchcraft, séances or other occult activities
Makes me wonder if some of the more enterprising students had enough and finally put a hex on Fartwell.

15. It's interesting what some of the violations

are which have an equivalent penal consequence and, one would assume, therefore an equivalent moral weight.

16. Wow, do they care...
I find it disturbing that unlike most other colleges that would put a student who displayed "life-threatening behavior" to "oneself" on suicide watch, this fine institute of learning would kick them off campus and probably out of school.

Very compassionate.

19. "immorality"...
...is considered to be on equal footing, as a violation, as an abortion, academic cheating, witchcraft, unauthorized possession of a weapon (what are autorized uses? shooting homosexuals and abortion doctors?). Do they define "immortality"? Seems pretty nebulous considering all the other rules, or is that their catch all? Or just a substitute for saying "homosexuality"?
