"Are you purposely being stubborn just so you can see the team go unpunished? If there were enough hazed kids to allow for a game, then I'd agree with you. Somehow, I suspect this is not the case." - Jim McCusker

"Not sure how punishing the guilty players with two games is related in any way to communist Russia, but you're essentially wanting to let all of the seniors go unpunished. There's no next year for them remember and they more than likely lead the hazing while the others watched. To me, the punishment fit the crime." - Jim McCusker

"So answer my question then. Does the punishment against the majority of the football team that stood by and watched the hazing seem fair? If so, then the innocent are collateral damage due to the bad behavior of their teammates. You can't have everyone end up unharmed in this case. It seems that you feel that the innocent losing their remaining two games is worse than punishing the teammates who hazed them." - Jim McCusker

"It's bad all around for the kids that were hazed. You're just trying to give the MAJORITY of the football team an out so that the hazed kids don't also lose two final games? That's just warped logic. You end up rewarding the football team on their illegal behavior." - Jim McCusker

"There's no team if all you have left are the hazed kids, hence, they all lose." - Jim McCusker

"It was fair because the team stood by and watched as 'the team' made the freshman grab each others crotches. This is the offense. Peer pressure or not, teammates that stood by while this happened and said nothing are just as guilty." - Jim McCusker

"So, what you're saying is that you condone having the entire football team watch as they made two freshman grab each others crotches, right? Just wanted to be sure this is where you stand on the issue." - Jim McCusker

"What would you say about having the entire football team watch as a fellow freshman was made to grab another freshman's crotch? Wouldn't you say that the entire team is culpable at that point? Funny how you glossed over this fact....as did Michael." - Jim McCusker
Re: Why Inequality Matters - http://gatesnotes.com/Books...
"There's actually another way to progressively tax and that's based on income & product type. If society agrees that a family shouldn't pay more than X % of their income for food then perhaps there's a way to force the wealthy to pay the same % of income for food. Following it's logical conclusion, we end up with a fixed tax based on income alone and you get rid of the consumption aspect and the complexities of a progressive tax." - Jim McCusker
