I'm just asking ...

Related Link » boor
n.
1. A person with rude, clumsy manners and little refinement.
Synonyms: boor, barbarian, churl, lout, vulgarian, yahoo
These nouns denote an uncouth and uncultivated person
— TheFreeDictionary

When did being uncultivated become cool? Why do people who "party" these days feel it necessary to screech and squeal (females) or hoot and holler (males) in order to convey the impression that they are, indeed, having a great time drinking, belching, and farting? What is so great about getting so smashed that, the next morning, you can't tell whether it's your hemorrhoids acting up or perhaps you got f*cked in the ass the night before? Where is the pleasure in all that?

I was young once, too, and I know such circumstances do, on occasion, devolve into vulgar fraternity-like free-for-alls on most college campuses. But when did it become de rigueur for every gathering of more than 3 people? Have people lost all inhibitions and all knowledge of and/or all desire to seek other forms of social entertainment in groups?

Why is spring break not considered worthwhile unless you have maintained a drunken stupor for the entire week, succumbed to a bad case of laryngitis, and contracted some venereal disease? Or stumbled off a fifth-story balcony and died, or, what might be even worse, become a paraplegic?
