Bullpen Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 so are we to believe that Jim McMahon didn't violate BYU's Honor Code? He claims, a few days after winning the 1981 Holiday Bowl, he was "asked" to leave BYU because of his proclivities. Classic case of both parties using eachother. He used BYU to showcase his talents and get into the NFL, and BYU looked the other way concerning his off-field activities as long he continued to win.

ieatcrayonz Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I really do not think they are holding him to a higher standard. I have read they have kicked regular students out also from time to time for violating these ethics code. People that are saying these ethics are ridiculous or hypocritical are missing the point. It is their school. The Mormons own it. They could do what they want. Noone puts a gun to their heads & tell them they have to go to BYU. If you want to have a good time, act like a crazy college kid & get the full college experience my suggestion is do not go to BYU. There are thousands of other schools that will be willing to take your money. I agree that we have religious freedom in this country and the Mormons should be able to do what they want with their school. The dude agreed to it so rules are rules. That doesn't mean we can't criticize the rules of the Mormons. I don't think it is fair that sex is illegal, women go around wearing burkahs and geez.....coffee....really? Anyway the burkah thing is tricky because it could be a national security risk and that must be weighed against religious freedom. Some Mormon lady once tried to have her driver's license picture taken wearing a burkah. That doesn't make sense unless she wore that very same burkah every time she drove which would probably be only one time if she lived near roads with cliffs. Anyway Gordio who is this dude Noone and why is he putting guns to their heads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramius Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 We are not talking about LDS. We are talking about Mormons. What are LDSs? LDS is the name of Lou Gherig's disease. I'm not sure why it belongs in a basketball discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ieatcrayonz Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 LDS is the name of Lou Gherig's disease. I'm not sure why it belongs in a basketball discussion. Can that be caught by sleeping with a Mormon chick wearing a burkah? If so, that is the connection. If not, consider that the source is Beerboy.

ieatcrayonz Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Beerboy got us off track with his acronyms. To get this thing re-energized I will say that while most terrorists are Mormons that does not mean most Mormons are terrorists. I don't like all of these racial overtones but facts are facts. Mitt Romney is a Mormon and some people don't want him as president because of that. I don't think it is fair but people have the right to vote. Some people think Obama is faking being a Christian for votes and that he is actually a Mormon. I don't like Romney or Obama but not because they are Mormons or accused of being Mormons. I don't like Romney because he is as cardboard as Al Gore and wouldn't have to worry about the rules concerning women anyway because those are enforced by the women. Obama is basically a hippy. Anyway I digress. I don't like the burkah driver's license thing but other than that I think BYU should do whatever they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not say anything about your acrimony nor would I. If your wife is cool with your profession then by all means acrimony is a good thing for your.

Nanker Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 BYU's honor code is functionally moot. Sheer hypocrisy in it's arbitrary and impossible enforcement. It isn't an honor code. It's nothing. It's just meaningless words used to justify....outrageous conduct on the part of the school such as this that would be tolerated nowhere else. You really do have your head up your ass. Does BYU's honor code say anything about the magic underwear? That must be worn at all times once a person has received Temple endowments, from what I hear.
