Does this mean I hate Liberty?

[DRoseDARs]

Good grief.

[Urban Ranger]

Curfew?

[Asher]

I read "Immorality" as "Immortality" at first, which fits right in with the "witchcraft" that follows.

[Theben]

They don't seem to have rules against spending the night with someone of the same sex- so at least they're gay friendly.

[Last Conformist]

Evangelicals are all gay anyway.

[Theben]

Although they'd probably call it 'sexual assault'.

Aren't curfews pretty standard across Asia? I know we have 'em in Korea and a lot of them are earlier than 2 AM.

For cities or universities?

We don't have any of that silliness here either way. For cities in the Mainland that I have visited I can't recall any curfews either. No idea wrt universities, though.

I am quite sure SE Asia countries don't have them, probably not even Singapore.

I think the curfews in RoK are an artifact of an earlier era.

[Bosh]

I meant universities, Korea as a country hasn't had one since the old military dictatorship thank god.

Who actively searches for this stuff? Why would anyone care to?

I found the link at another forum discussing extremes.

But anyone looking at the universities in that area could find it or even a current/prior student/teacher know about it.

Looks like a profitable job.

[Last Conformist]

Stupid rules are pretty standard within the educational system - at my high-school, you were not allowed to look at webpages someone might find offensive -; the question is, do they enforce this stuff?

[Dracon II]

There's nothing ironic about it if by liberty they mean its positive version. This is Pat Robertson's University, right? In the Pat Robertson worldview, these regulations are made to force people to be free.

I think theres simply a difference between what most people see as Liberty and what Conservative Christians see as Liberty.

Robertson differentiates liberty from license. So prospective students should beware to recognize what this use of the term Liberty specifically denotes. Otherwise they might be unpleasantly surprised (unless they're gay of course )
