However, pulling its tail off and otherwise physicaly abusing it is simply cruel. I don't understand how people get pleasure out of inflicting pain on living creatures.

Here, here!

I would like to add that I find it shameful that a bunch of fratBOYS in North Carolina, my home state and the hog capital of the world, don't know that pigs are sensitive to the sun and liable to get sunburnt and they also dehydrate very easily. What a bunch of dumbass fratBOYS!

Heh-Heh...you weren't a DU by any chance? We had pig parties too. We had a lot of Wellesley girls there (Hitlary's alma mater).

What makes it worse is that it is a southern college!
I can understand a bunch of yankees screwing it up, but this is inexcusable.

PL, it's too late in the day for me to rise to that bait!

Stoopid frat-rats don't even know how to put on a proper Bar-B-Q

They were simply marinating the main course in bourbon, when it up and escaped. ;-) Emeril Lagasse, they ain't!

,,, there's a few things about America this foreigner has always had trouble understanding. Socialising with a pig to this extent is one of them but I'll work thru that as I can.

Of longer consternation to me is the concept of frat houses, in particular, where names like kappa delta phi or similar come from and what makes one frat house perceivably better than another.

Any assistance advancing my understanding is appreciated.

I don't know what to tell you -- other than the fact that those frat boys are lucky that the pig is no longer the U.S. Attorney General....

[null and void]

I see the low life scum sucking bottom feeders are out in force on this thread.

(Basturds used every single smart arsed comment I had ready)...

The Origin of Fraternities

The American college fraternity system is as old as the United States itself, for it was in 1776 that the first secret Greek-letter society came into existence. It was the custom then for students at William and Mary, the second oldest college in America, to gather in the Apollo Room of the Raleigh Tavern in Williamsburg, Virginia, to discuss the affairs of the day. On the night of December 5, 1776, five close companions stayed after the others had left and... (Click here to continue)

I didn't join a fraternity when I was in college, but knew many who did. Some were organized around academic interests (the "engineering" faternity, the "agriculture" fraternity). Some were organized more along social lines: the "jock" fraternity (athletes and their groupies), the "Jewish" fraternity, the "Black" fraternity, etc. etc. Many fraternities, however, didn't seem to have any such evident organizing theme, other than being an alternative to living in the school dorms without actually being in your own apartment.

We started our own Fraternity at college. Kappa Renta Frienda..... It was organized around the principle of '$3 at the door get's you a plastic cup and access to the taps'.

And if anyone brought a pig, it was $6.

Don't forget, George W. Bush, his Daddy, and Ronald Reagan were all frat boys.
