Thread: Having your razors confiscated is just one more reason I hate college dorms...

Ouuuchhhh . I feel your pain Ehsan and as Oz said, you are too honest. But I also see the other side of the coin as well. If they allow you to have blades, they will have to open up this to everyone and not everyone will have honest intentions. one incident and that's it...it becomes national news and homeland security gets involved.

Finish your studies as fast as possible and get the heck out of dorm-room living.

At least, you have something to look forward to every time you come home

Yeah, times have changed. In my dorm room, I had a SCUBA tank filled with air at 2100 psi, a speargun and a diver's knife bigger than the knife Jack the Ripper probably used. The dean's office was downstairs from me and I scared the shit our him one evening when I told him there were strange sounds coming from my closet. He opened it to find my wet suit stuffed and standing with an ugly rubber mask for a face and the 8 inch blade in his hand. After the initial shock, he laughed like hell. Sure the college had a no knife policy but he wasn't worried about it. We also didn't have students who felt it their civil duty to go to the authorities over petty shit like that. I guess those were more civilized times.

I'm glad to know that there are other deeply disturbed individuals on this forum!

I knew I felt rght at home among these desterbed people, I persionally think that before the campus should have done anything they should have checked into it a bit more, meaning looking seeing that you are not some sick person that would play sweeny todd and that there are lots of(sorry to say) nuts out there that love having multiple razors and that you are using them proplerly. If they would have looked at it in this point of view they might not have taken your toys.

Heck, I carried a gun to school everyday. The subways were dangerous. Sorry about your trouble. There is a reason the Chief came to see you not a mere mortal.

What else would I do with my razors? Most of what I do with my money involves buying and selling razors (and food and cooking stuff), so they'd have to go somewhere. Honestly though, if I was ever worried about something being stolen, it would have been my computer. Most people I've met don't think razors are nearly as valuable as they actually are.

Actually I'd be more worried *because* people don't think they're valuable. i.e. steal them as a prank, etc. Or people who don't understand how ridiculously sharp a proper razor is "playing" with them, that kind of thing.

I don't think razors are at the top of the average burglars steal-n-pawn list I'd just be worried about having that much dollar value in my dorm room period.

Personally I think you got hosed. I would make a case out of it just because it is right.

When I was in college, I knew guys that had everything short of guns in their rooms. You had to store your guns with the campus cops, but you did bring them to your room after shooting to clean them.

They did try to ban guns from campus but at an Ag, school that went over like a fart in church even with the liberal arts and womens studies majors.

Now I think they allow CCW everywhere but in the dorms, don't quote me on that though.
