Re: Why are students who attend Texas A&M so rude?
I concur with you CamelotOne. Has nothing to do with the school. Has to do with being that age. Sad note on our times, actually.
I, personally, don't think college students are as mature as when I attended UT (I'll give away my age here, the late 60's). They may be sexually more mature, but developmentally & responsibility-wise, many have taken a "giant step backwards for mankind", IMHO, to play on a quote of a famous astronaut.
To elaborate, I have a really hard time understanding the violence and property destruction that surrounds college football games these days. We hear/read about in the news all the time, it seems. It's rampant all over the nation. I just can't understand why they feel the need to drink to excess and then go out and damage people's cars, businesses and homes in the name of school spirit or out of sheer meanness. It's almost like college kids nowadays think if they're drunk, the rest of us will excuse the behavior & just give them a slap on the hand?
In all fairness to the current college generation, we also drank in college. Nothing new. But we didn't then go out and destroy property!!!! I just don't understand that mentality.
