  So is it that nobody understood what I meant, or just that nobody who said anything understood what I meant?

  Yep :)

  These floats were approved by the UC Proctor.

  Sorry but what's your point?

  :)) I dunno. we are not perfect and I know I tried plenty to have fun but not at the expense of others. I like to think my parents helped there.Over here in the Uk, I have noticed how exactly the same bitching goes on but one thing I found both funny and really sad was the problems of parents taking their kids to school on their first day and the dilemma involved with fucking clothing, and I mean treatment of each other depending on what you wear and that's the parents! Go figure.

  Hypocracy of democracy is why I question everything.I'd like to think those Klan photos, whilst I find distasteful can also work in a context of how to educate those around them of what not to do. I've helped raise one of those Chch engineering students and I know he treats this time of year as release for pending exams ( and his grades are good) so as Rich said above I will try to treat everyone fairly and hope for the same in return. If assault occurs (calling all smacking industry) the system allows retribution, so be it, but to villify students for exercising their passage into adult life seems unduly harsh to me.

  amateurs would drive themselves home in the small hours after partying all night. More than one has observed that it was no small miracle that nobody got killed on their way home from such parties.

  and... I'll rest my case, hmmm, miracle nobody got killed eh?

  Like fuck we do!

  Are you shouting at me now? Can't say I know much about the sporting clubs but worked at the Merc for a few years and all our partying was absolutely drunken respectability which did not harm others.I know we had fun.

  I'm sure the cops who're investigating that latest arson will be rather put-out to hear that you've decided that nobody will be charged for it.

  I don't think they would care, but If I had a couch now, I could see how potentially dangerous I might be ,what with my " I killed bambi" jacket an'all. :)
  Matthew my point being these are uni traditions. Their fathers and mothers took part (yes I know, I know) and it has continued throughout the ages much like the Illuminati. much like we had cars that did burnouts up Queen St back in the 70's only now cars are fast. much like drunk participants at an annual party event do not stop 1/2 way through having a party and place all 10 green bottles on the wall, so if one green bottle will accidently fall, is that intent. Drunk is rather difficult and only by experiencing your own stupid behaviour do ya learn (by about 30) that there are other games to play. Some learn, some don't but I'll be dammed if youth aren't allowed to grow like the rest of us do.

  I dispute that the cops have a right to prevent people from remaining in a public place. I dispute the concept that the police are above the people and entitled to order them to do anything.
  That's based on my personal worldview

  I'll 2nd that

  Burning sofas provides what social benefit, exactly?

  It is tradition! The whole event is based on tradition! And, seeing as you wanna get judgemental Matthew, Why the hell aint anyone ever charged for burning down houses in the middle of the night?.Being in the news for a couple of weeks, does not make it acceptable because some other shitty thing happened there. Cops all over the house and it burns down?The reason I suspect is because it is considered taboo, so in a sense it is tradition.
  Obviously a narrow field that I find myself in and having not seen any of this (but know what time of the year it is), I am out there on the side of the punks. I think Tom's right and I agree with Rich, after Matthews description of why the police were right to perform asbo.
  First they came for the sofa,
  then they came for the fancy dress....

  Would London-dwellers find it worth going for the (free?) lunch?

  I wont and I know I am not alone on this.
