At this point it finally penetrates the fog of stupidity and alcohol that maybe someone is actually upset at the little darlings - although they can’t imagine why. That was one of the astonishing things about this little circus - the horny drunk sluts seemed to genuinely be mystified as to what, if anything, they had done wrong. All those puzled exclamations of “What? You’re kidding!” and “What for?” seemed the most sincere part of the whole act.

Given how girl/girl tongue action has of late become de rigeur the most celebrated strategy for ratings-boosting, attention-attracting, hell-raising in general by TV shows, pop stars, etc… I can honestly see how young girls might think this is what everybody wants to see wild-and-crazy girls doing in public. “What? It worked for Britney Spears.”
Don’t get me wrong, I have a weak spot for girls making out, but I have a severe problem with any kind of public “look-at-me” behavior in general. To me this falls in the group of canonical loud kids on the train who will whoop and holler, then look at the other people to see if they’ve been noticed, and if not, ratched it up a notch, repeat ad infinitum.
I’ve read your post three times now and still do not understand it.
Drunken college girls…making out in public…and dry humping.
Why are you complaining rather than thanking Jesus you where there? 
I THOUGHT I had something to say about this, but maybe I don’t.
Cute chicks making out isn’t going to offend me, though (although I might personally object to being left out of the mix).
Sure, if you’re offended, then complain. Personally, I’d just regret not having a video camera to document the festivities.
But, hey, everyone’s got an opinion. I won’t begrudge you yours, etc.
Y’all appreciate that Broomstick is not of the male gender?

Yep.
I, on the other hand, am a guy—a straight one, at that—and i would have found the whole thing about as pathetic and stupid as the OP did.
Those girls weren’t sluts, they were whores—attention whores. The whole thing was purely for the “benefit” of the other people on the train.

Good Rant about teenaged stupidity. I dunno if it’s that I’ve been working too hard or what, but at this point in your rant, all I could see was “shittals” or perhaps “shittles”.
I’m not a huge defender of gay rights, by any means…
But maybe a little heavy on the lesbian portion of the rant. It’s all the rage these days for girls to kiss and make out with each other, whether or not they are lesbians. And whether or not you or I personally condone homosexuality, I don’t see how their being lesbian or not really figures into their bad behaviour (which it no doubt was). It would have been poor behaviour for heterosexual teens as well.
Other than that, YAY you for making it VERY clear to them that it was disgusting public behaviour.

I don’t suppose we can get a cite for that?
No, really. I’ve seen people say this before, but I think they’re either imagining it or putting too much faith in the late-night Girls Gone Wild ads I see on cable.
Ugh, that still sounds like I’m asking for pictures. What I’m trying to say is that I think it’s “all the rage” only in the imaginations of some people, although some of them may be in the media.

Is there a Fad Institute of America that has an official list of what attention whores do? What kind of site would you want? I get your point, and you may be right, but it’s not totally fabricated. I’ve seen straight girls make out for attention on occasion, was it often enough to say it’s “all the rage”? Probably not.

It was discussed here a few years ago. I remembered that thread when I saw this one.
I don’t usually say it, but “Poser Lesbians” would make a great band name.

Ha! Good one. I forgot about them.
Its embarassing and all, but they didn’t deserve to be arrested for it. If they were asked nicely to not annoy people but didn’t that is rude, but not really arrestable behavior.
I’m probably the only one who finds it ironic that this thread is on the same page as the pitting of Fionn’s parents. I guess tolerance for behavior we find disgusting is something that is an endless struggle. Maybe it is best to just keep it to yourself and not tell people.

Wesley, it is not bigotry to object to people preforming intercourse, of whatever type, in a public place. That’s why we have sleazy motels that cater to all persuations.
Nor is it prejudice to object to public drunkeness that leads to loutish behavior. No matter the color, race, creed or sexual orientation, all the morons in the world are in confederation against the rest of us.

From the NICTD website, regarding rules:
From my viewpoint, performing certain bodily functions in public is rude and disruptive. I mean, taking a good, satisfying shit or piss is one of the pleasures of life, and I’m fully in favor of everyone having a good shit at least once a day, but doing so in public on the public train is not acceptable. (My train does, actually, have restrooms in which such biological functions can be performed, and there is enough room to bang your chosen mate in them, if you really can’t wait until you get home). Picking one’s nose and wiping the boogers on the seats is likewise unacceptable. In Midwestern US society, spilling your drink without even attempting to wipe it up, yelling “FUCK!” without provacation, and “making out” with another human being to the point that your fellow passengers are concerned about sticky seats being left behind is just not acceptable public behavior. Perhaps things are different where you live. In which case please note the difference, in case you ever decide to visit.
As for “arrestable behavior” - “lewd conduct” in public can get you arrested on park benches if you go far enough, I don’t see where it wouldn’t apply to train seats. There are also laws about “public intoxication” and “drunk and disorderly”. The legal drinking age is 21 in both Illinois and Indiana, in which case taking even one mouthful of beer is against the law if any of those girls is younger than that.
In other words, yes, it was “arrestable” behavior. Being on a crowded rush hour train is not like being in a park where the offended can simply leave and go elsewhere - you have a lot of people confined in a small area and thus there must be some restraint and consideration for others..
If you can drink your beer and sit quietly, without bothering anyone else, no one on the train will give a damn. If you’re sober and shouting profanities they will. Likewise, no one will say jack for a quiet kiss, but loud slobbering noises and crotch-rubbing with much theatrical flair and sound effects is simply rude, regardless of numbers involved or sexual orientation.
Mostly like, they were either issued tickets, or else they spent the night in jail without being formerly charged with anything. In the latter case, bascially being confined until they sober up, so as not to offended the rest of the neighborhood with their bratty, boorish behavior.
