| Juicycampus
what's your take on it? When you look at posts at this site, you would assume American college students are fairly intellectual, open minded and tolerant. But if you go to Juicycampus, you learn that even the most prestigious campuses can be very racist and homophobic. |

| Ugh, it's so awful. I hate that site. It makes my school look like a bunch of redneck backwoods jackasses. I can't believe people are actually that racist here! | |

| i LOVE juicy campus. I am able to ask who a certain person is when I do not know their name and find them on facebook to befriend them or ask them a question.
I can find out information faster than just asking people around.
Sure, juicycampus can be used for evil, but that is your own problem. | |

| Well, there is a girl who's really nice and she told me how to find her on facebook but I forgot so instead of waiting to run into her again, I just go on juicycampus.
Or I need to find someone who is in a certain class or taking a class to work on the assignment.
Or I am curious as to who that guy is who does marial arts infront of th elibrary.
etc. | |

| It's mainly due to the anonymity of the site...Things people post in there would never be said in real life simply because they're socially unacceptable, or labels u as homophobic / racist, etc.
Other than that, I'm still in favor of having such a site because it's created for the purpose of gossip...sure people can be cruel but that's not what it's intended to be. I also found that if you're not stupid (aka ur not socially awkward, dont abuse drugs, etc) ur name is unlikely to be posted there
That would mean people that complain about the site probably saw their name on it, and are protesting about how the site promotes bad mouthing. However, more than likely, if you weren't stupid in the first place, you probably wouldn't be there o.O | |
