45. You obviously never lived in ANY of the dorms or apartments I did.

People get evicted for loud stereos, blocking the walkway, pets where not allowed, all kinds of things that might seem kind of trivial to you but that the landlords have learned will cause big trouble if not dealt with strictly.

People who own or manage buildings generally have contracts for tenants to sign that have real legal teeth. In any disagreement between you and a landlord, bet on the landlord. It's just a fact of life you have to learn to live with. Don't be a dick to your landlord, or you'll have learn to live in the red light district where no tenant applicants are rejected and non-refundable rent deposits are through the roof.

Dorms may be a bit more relaxed than apartments, but people who get kicked out of dorms face a rude awakening when they start dealing with leases and landlords ("You got kicked out of your last apartment, so your application was rejected. No, you don't get your application fee back.&quot , so it's best to live within dorm rules.



PS: I will never eat dinner at your house, no matter how grand or how freely offered, or how hungry I might be. If you think freshly killed animals are "clean", I hope for your family's sake that you keep your life insurance paid up.

BTW, inspection of factory meat is done because cows are brought in with all manner of diseases and parasites, and no small amount of shit clinging to them. Not every cow that enters a slaughter house does so under its own power, or even still breathing. (Yeah, it's illegal -- but if the inspector looks away ...)

My question was more about "sanitation laws" than the specificity of a dorm. WhiskeyGrinder Sep 2025 #17
AFAIK most people do this partly in the field and outside at home, but not in a kitchen which is not their property ... eppur_se_muova Sep 2025 #28
"not in a kitchen which is not their property" -- again, my question is more about "sanitation laws." WhiskeyGrinder Sep 2025 #35

Once you've field-dressed it, it's just raw meat. If you've skinned it, you won't smell anything but raw meat. WhiskeyGrinder Sep 2025 #37

Does a person have to be starving before hunting is okay? WhiskeyGrinder Sep 2025 #36
The point: It's not OK to bring a carcass into a shared public area. Dock_Yard Sep 2025 #58

If you eat meat - something died DenaliDemocrat Sep 2025 #56
I do happen to be a vegetarian, but beside that point Coventina Sep 2025 #57
It is NOT a dirty job DenaliDemocrat Sep 2025 #59
According to the article, the carcass was brought to be skinned Coventina Sep 2025 #60
In YOUR opinion DenaliDemocrat Sep 2025 #61
Well, there were plenty of people upset by their actions, so your opinion is not universal. Coventina Sep 2025 #62
And there are plenty like me DenaliDemocrat Sep 2025 #64
Well, maybe you should contact Cornell, if you feel so strongly. Coventina Sep 2025 #65
I'm not the one calling for people to get arrested DenaliDemocrat Sep 2025 #67
I'm not calling for their arrest. Maybe take it up with those who are? Coventina Sep 2025 #68
