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.
Like several other aspects of this season, Florida’s loss last Saturday immediately drew comparisons to another moment in the Urban Meyer era.
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.
In reality this game didn’t mean much, but its result sent one very clear message.
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?
