Did I say that? No.
Which is why it was posed as a question.
What I said was that I have heard stories about comparable behaviour from people who have attended college and university, through reports to NUS conferences and documents, and also through information members of my family
No what you said was 'most young people, whatever their age, go through a comparable initiation ceremony be that at school or at university', now its heard stories about some people. I've heard stories about the severn bridge being for sale, wanna buy it?
You then listed experience of you attending three colleges and universities, your father, and your sister attending two and your other sister one. That is seven experiences in total yet none of you went through a 'comparable initiation ceremony'.
Seems like your 'most' is actually 'no one I know'.
I know of one guy who 'kidnapped' a female student as a Rag Week prank, and following an excessive intake of alcohol, raped her. He was a fellow student of mine at my first teacher training college. He was charged and found guilty and served a term in jail. Mind you, I'm not sure that that is on a par with sticking his privates in a pig. It may be in your mind.
No that sounds sick and isn't comparable. I'd ask you though if you think it is comparable?
If no, then you would be stupid to list this, an incomparable initiation ceremony to support your assertion of a comparable one. If yes then your a sick stupid twat.
