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.
The apparent source of all evil has been called out again by President Obama, and I’m not talking about the Georgia Bulldogs.
While I’ve never taken much of what is written in the Alligator to be worthy of print, the ignorance of Wednesday’s editorial left me slack-jawed. I can’t say for sure which parts most showed the complete disregard for history and, more disgustingly, the implied lack of intelligence of the Alligator’s average reader.
In a study that might not shock many, the majority of Americans apparently know very little about what they preach.
I was very disappointed to read Kyle Robisch’s letter to the editor in Friday’s Alligator. As a former columnist himself, I know Robisch is capable of expressing a meaningful and constructive opinion. Unfortunately, his letter falls much more soundly in the category of “Playa hatin’.”
Is our generation defining Facebook, or is it defining us?
Do you know why I hate reading the Alligator on Thursday?
Was it Green Day who said “wake me up when September ends”?
What is it about the words ‘‘I’m sorry” that makes it impossible to repeat them?
Though the recent tragedies involving gay youth across the nation have made particularly notable headlines, it’s imperative to note these incidents happen more frequently than we’d like to admit.
In Erin Brockovich style, Gainesville city commissioners and Alachua County commissioners have fighting words for the Environmental Protection Agency: We’re sick of this.
With so much focus at home, our current government is letting a lot happen abroad.
Well, it looks like I survived the shellacking from last week. I was overwhelmed by the feedback, and I want to clarify that I believe Humans vs. Zombies is a valuable student organization here at UF, just like any other. I in no way intended to compare them to Dove World or any of the real plagues that are affecting UF.
We’ve been brainwashed ever since we set up our free market lemonade stands on the sidewalk, charging parched passersby an excess of a quarter for a cup of juice.
The newborns are coming.
