Pretend you went to Liberty University...

My Sophomore or Junior year at Miami, we stumbled across The Liberty Way, Liberty University's student code of conduct and had some fun piling up the amount of demerits we would have received on a typical weekend at college. It has since been made viewable only to students and faculty, but I found an abridged version on another website. Here is the list, have some fun today and find out how many points you'd rack up if you were caught for everything you did in college. To keep things in the hundreds (and not millions) only count each 'offense' one time, i.e. if you have a rated R movie, that counts as 12 points/reprimands, don't count each movie. Please put your final number in the comments section (if you are shy, make an anonymous post). In the interest of self disclosure, I got 517 points, give or take.

  2. i didn't run the numbers on the fines and such, but I'm looking at a solid 537 reprimands.

    I like how drinking a beer is worse than sexual and racial harrasment, and the same fine as abortion and felonies. Sign me up!
