I still hate people

[moonwise]

I've been following the story about the Rutgers student who committed suicide after his roommate streamed video of him having sex with another male to the Internet. It makes me very sad and angry, because I simply cannot fathom what would possess someone to do such a thing. Okay, maybe you don't like your roommate, but 1. that does not excuse anything 2. you are not alone in that experience 3. you can get a new roommate if you are really that offended by his sexual preference. What infuriates me is the possibility that the two students who recorded the encounter thought that perhaps what they were doing was funny.

Fucking barrel of laughs, you two. Congratulations, you killed someone.

3. You can get a new roommate if you are really that offended by his sexual preference.

I seriously doubt it works that way in general. A university that honors such a request could potentially be construed as discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation.

True. What I'm thinking is that if things were really not working out between the two, there is usually an escape hatch. Apparently the deceased was trying to get moved and had already approached the RA.

Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty much in agreement with you. Just doing my usual thing and playing devil's advocate.
