yes.
my brother went to Eton,and fagging still happens...its not as bad as one might think.
It really is about preparing one for social responsibility,dealing with staff etc,for later life
(many captains of industry, prime ministers,politicians pass thu Eton)

hope that helps

Man, they're a tough group of people, the Russians where over 200 Russian conscripts are killed a year as a result of the extreme hazing, bullying that occurs in their armed forces.

The senior, called fag-master, also known as the protector of his fags, is responsible for their happiness and good conduct.

I cannot understand why that still happens. That's totally unacceptable.

err it doesnt really.
its just a respect system for prefects,etc.
the fags take your library books back for you and and fetch cigarettes.

Quote:
During the late 20th century, fagging fell out of use, as attitudes to education and child development changed. During the 1970s and 1980s fagging was abolished at most major public schools and school-sanctioned fagging was very rare by the turn of the millennium. Nevertheless, unofficial relics of fagging are still quite common in some of the leading British public schools


sure,it was bad in the 19cent,with violence and buggery,but fine now.
one is only buggered if consenting.

ps. "FAG" in British slang means cigarette...not homosexual as its american slang usage.
maybe this is confusing you, and why you are so amused.
why the interest?

dogging is MASSIVE in the UK.

'dogging' is pulling into a lay-by,service area,field, any remote spot with the intent to have sex with random people you meet there.
You flash your lights to signal your sexual preferences and availability.
Other "doggers" get to watch.

all part of the moral breakdown and slide into decadence in the west.


its very popular.

Althought the irony is not lost on me , where I went to school in South Africa it was a private school that carried all english school traditions. When Iin standard 6 (grade 8?) I had a "fag master" and i was his "fag". You basically had to run around doing his chores and being victim to his practical jokes/beatinsgs. They grew us up tough...you were made very sure of your place in the scheme of things and of your overall individual lack of importance. I think in my school it was pretty normal to be beaten about 3 or 4 times a week from different older boys/teachers , with cricket bats/hockey sticks etc. And it was taboo to ever complain about it....you were measured as a man by how you put up and shut up. It was a right of passage in which basically all beat out all the sense of selfish entitlment you may have brought into high school with you and let you know it was time to stop being a child and "man up". This is still very much the South African private school education system....and that's why unlike so many "liberal" countries you will still find our kids for the most part polite , responsible and respectful.

In the States we have "fag-hags", or chicks who hang all over gays. I'm not sure if they do laundry and sh*t for their gay friends or not.

I remember a quote from Clockwork Orange: "We were all feeling a bit shagged and fagged and fashed, it having been an evening of no small energy expenditure, oh my brothers", or something brilliant like that.

One "British witticism" which always makes me grin: "I'm going to nip out for a fag, and maybe I'll have a smoke as well."

Yeah. The genocide of your natives was far more humane.

Rolling Eyes Right back atcha. That's not apples and oranges, that's institutionalized segregation/wage slavery and oranges. The US has its problems, but Sou'fricans were nastier than any KKK redneck.
