		<description>get your facts straight before you criticise. the whole matter was blown completely out of proportion by the media. the acjc principal personally talked with those involved before releasing those comments. you have no right to judge if you weren't there to witness the incident.</description>

		<description>im not from ac, i may not necessarily feel strongly about the incident or the 'justification' of it. But I sure am embarassed about the way some people have to argue for their cause with their crude comments, and they spoil the reputation of young people everywhere by contributing further to stereotypes about young people being rude. And also, "its just for fun" is hardly an argument.</description>

		<description>And... why would I want to keep a domain name (and at a yearly cost too!) when even the site owner himself decided to abandon it, when such scenarios will normally only occur when the website is a failure?</description>

		<description>hi get real.

That is a real polite reply you have there. If you think that is normal maybe you are from that school too? Is that how people there speak?

Also, if these things are so "normal", how do you arrive at the conclusion that my site hits are getting a boost. I mean, after all, according to you, ragging like this is "normal". Its "culture". Wouldn't it be "appalling" then, you think many people will come to my blog for something that is "normal" and "culture". You are contradicting yourself and that may be a sign of someone with a damaged mind.

My domain masking and transfer is a rip off? Are you forgetting that I am offering 120GB of online photo storage as well along with the domain masking and redirection service? If I make enough money maybe I can sponsor you some glasses.

Manz, people nowadays are so rude and arrogant. They don't even dare to put their real names and contact information. What weight does their gibberish have?</description>

		<description>this is normal. you have no life, and hence you don’t know about this. appalling? it’s culture.

so stop your nonsense by acting concerned, then aggravating the situation in order to boost your website hits.

fucking loser!

and by the way loser, your domain masking and transfer service is a rip off. A person can get that for half the price. You could also threaten to keep their domain anyway if they decide to terminate the service, as it is technically and legally yours.</description>

		<description>Ragging is simply making fun at the expense of someone else's suffering.  The suffering may not be serious enough to lead someone to want to commit suicide.  But it is suffering nonetheless.  No one has the right to do unto others what others do not want to be done unto themselves.  Whoever doesn't understand this is simply too immature to even have the right to an opinion.

Grow up kids!</description>

		<description>Its not about no pain no gain, or no risk no success. How does that fit into this context?

These people are young adults, for god's sake. They are not like 7, 8 years old. 

Its not about resulting in something serious. It is about the act itself. 

Eating a fishball can choke you, but is there any wrong in eating one?</description>

		<description>I had a similar incident when I was young. It happen when the nite was my birthday and a group of frz tried to grab me and take off my pants. I remb a total of 6 7 guys ganged out doing that to me.

However somehow I did managed to get myself free. In the end - I tot it was just seek of fun and frankly speaking I donno what's the big deal here.. We were young and naive at 1 stage and do such silly things too right?

Why do the adults nowadays trying to be saint and start doing teaching ppl for that such things?

Some claimed what happened if this result something serious? I agree on that. But have you ever thought that anything can lead to something serious? Eating fishball can choke u. Crossing road might get bang by cars. Even zzz can lead to death as well. So what? We should always stay at enclose area and kept yrself safety at all time?

Come on. This is nature of live in Earth my dear. No pain no gain. No risk no success. The group her frz made an options to do that and it their choice.  Don't come and try to be god and tell ppl what not to do or should do.</description>

		<description>xcode go suck your balls. I like sports and outdoor activities. it's FUN to me. but maybe you think sports and outdoor activities is TORTURE, cos you hate exercise. ONE MAN'S MEAT IS ANOTHER MAN'S POISON DICKSHIT.

THOSE GIRLS WERE JUST HAVING FUN. what's wrong with the principle telling the truth and her own (and the GREATER majority of the student/staff population's) honest opinion?</description>

		<description>What a childish JC student. There are so many other factors to consider. Perhaps the reporter was a tad too sensitive,perhaps it was in the name of fun and all, but how much can we do in the name of fun? Birthdays can be celebrated normally, no one has to do ragging related action. Since when is ragging a justifiable in the name of fun?

Anyway, if he wants to be elitist, many of us can be too. ACJC was never an elite school in my opinion, at least when I was in JC 5 years ago. Now you know the kind of students and teachers (scolding them for dirtying the floor!) they have in the school.</description>

		<description>To be honest I have experienced worse, done worse and seen worse during my school days.  Only difference is that then youtube and hp cameras were not widely available so no one even saw it on the internet.  Yet end of it all, not once did I or any of the other "victims" felt traumatized or affected by whatever happened.  It is all in the name of fun and to be honest, in a way it sometimes does feel good that at least "friends" remember our birthdays.  And in a non-formal way, it was some sort of a rite of passage that one was accepted enough to be disturbed on their birthday.  

That being said, it is a fact that such things have been happening even before the internet.  Only reason why more attention have been given to it now is because it has been brought into the internet.  I have seen the clip and many others, but yet never once did i feel outraged.  In fact it brought back nostalgic memories of when I was younger.  In my personal opinion, I feel that those who make a hullabaloo about it in actuality have their own issues.  Maybe they never got to be teased, accepted or even had their birthdays celebrated for them when they were younger.</description>

Only difference is that then youtube and hp cameras were not widely available so no one even saw it on the internet.  Yet end of it all, not once did I or any of the other &#8220;victims&#8221; felt traumatized or affected by whatever happened.  It is all in the name of fun and to be honest, in a way it sometimes does feel good that at least &#8220;friends&#8221; remember our birthdays.  And in a non-formal way, it was some sort of a rite of passage that one was accepted enough to be disturbed on their birthday.  </p>
<p>That being said, it is a fact that such things have been happening even before the internet.  Only reason why more attention have been given to it now is because it has been brought into the internet.  I have seen the clip and many others, but yet never once did i feel outraged.  In fact it brought back nostalgic memories of when I was younger.  In my personal opinion, I feel that those who make a hullabaloo about it in actuality have their own issues.  Maybe they never got to be teased, accepted or even had their birthdays celebrated for them when they were younger.</p>
