An unpopular Kansas “church” reminiscent of our very own Dove wants you to know God is your enemy.
Alfredo Kiernan’s cycling accident with a pedestrian on Stadium Road should remind us that we all share our spaces.
Sean Quinn is mistaken when suggesting that Florida should decriminalize marijuana. It’s clearly time to completely re-legalize cannabis for responsible adults.
I couldn’t agree more with Sean Quinn’s Wednesday column. Alcohol is a far worse drug than marijuana, and the fact that marijuana is still illegal in most states and federally is absolutely insane. I would love to see the Alligator do an in-depth article on recent studies that have been done to support the idea of marijuana being legal. I’m 30, and our generation, which is soon to be in power, largely thinks marijuana is no big deal. And it isn’t.
Shamu is shaking his head.
Editor's note on 10/8/10: This column has been taken down. The original column ran in Thursday's edition, but our readers pointed out a Reddit article with references too similar to Griffin's writing. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Just about a year and a half after Frito-Lay introduced its earmuff-almost-necessary-to-open-it biodegradable SunChips bag, the junk food giant is sending the bags to the dump and reintroducing the totally-not-sustainable old version while the company tries to find a bag that’s quietly biodegradable.
Idan Solon’s Tuesday letter to the editor in which he attempts to chastise a capitalist system through actions by the U.S. government misses the mark.
Katy Perry was right. In California, the grass is always greener. And as of last week, getting caught with an ounce or less of grass won’t get you jail time, it will only get you a $100 fine and a citation. For those playing at home, that’s about three days of parking citations from UF and less than one citation for using a duplicate decal.
Justice was swift, but Allah is still great.
I am writing in response to Chris Dodson’s Monday column, which condemned President Obama’s negative view of Fox News.
Mr. Solon is right to condemn our government’s clandestine escapades. They are inexcusable stains on this country, but they are not products of capitalism.
Chris Dodson’s criticism of President Barack Obama’s campaign against Fox misses the point.
Americans are having a lot of sex.
Everybody with cable TV and a proclivity toward captivating car-wreck television has an opinion on the sorta-famous young mothers on MTV’s “Teen Mom,” but this week marks the first time police started a case against someone based solely on what the baby momma did on MTV.
Sixth Amendment, Schmixth Amendment!
I am furious and cannot keep silent any longer. For those who are not aware, there has been a series of suicides over the last few weeks with a common theme: people who were being harassed for their sexuality. We all (or at least should) remember Matthew Shepard, the gay student at the University of Wyoming who was brutally beaten and left on a split-rail fence in the middle of nowhere to die.
William Tew’s Monday letter to the editor and his suggestion that socialist governments have more frequently brain-washed their citizens than capitalist governments should be called into question.
I want to echo Kyle Robisch’s Friday comments regarding Bryan Griffin’s columns. Despite being a right-leaning moderate myself, Griffin’s writing is bland and banal, which wouldn’t be so bad if it also didn’t exude a smug, “look-how-clever-I-am” tone.
As the prominent newspaper at UF, I was wondering if some members of your sports staff could do the university a huge favor by informing John Brantley that he needs to step up and become the quarterback all UF faithful expect and deserve.
