the self-important idiots that write for the gazette stun me again with their ignorance. i am curious how many of them live off of osap. i am also curious how many of them question what, exactly, the purpose of higher education is meant to be. i am also curious as to how many of these gazette

Oh, right. Sure. Those less advantaged students from working class backgrounds should just get off their butts and get a part-time job. That's what higher education is all about, right? Learning how to juggle advanced/intensive academic study with a job? Exactly. I'll bet those farmers' kids could really use that kind of a lesson, eh?

Indeed. There's plenty of debate-stifling happening elsewhere in our society. PLENTY. We have to protect, uphold, and advance institutions of higher learning as bastions of free speech and expression. Let the debate continue -- and the truth will emerge. Whenever someone opposes free speech and expression, it's nearly always because they have something to hide

Re: “Biting the hand that feeds you” Mar. 9, 2010 To the editor: While there are students at Western able to afford the cost of a post-secondary degree without support from our government, there are many, many more who cannot. At least they cannot without facing a future of extraordinarily damaging private ... (more)
Re: “Facebook threats made against USC clubs” March 3, 2010 To the editor: While it is disturbing students would receive threats on Facebook related to any issue, I would like to congratulate the University Students’ Council for fulfilling its role in the promotion of debate on campus. Not all students may agree ... (more)
Re: “Western full of hilarious idiots” Feb. 26, 2010 To the editor: I love contradictions, so when Jaela Bernstien began her article with “I'm no elitist, but...” I was overjoyed. I could only have been happier if the argument following “but” was actually correct. It wasn't. Supported by a Facebook page and ... (more)
Re: “Chileans forgotten amidst Haitian aid, Olympic craze” March 2, 2010 To the editor: While it appears — and I sincerely hope, that Lauren Pelley was trying to use satirical prose to call to readers to action, her piece was poorly executed and this message was lost in heavy sarcasm. Instead ... (more)
Re: “Protest divides students, turns campus into ‘battleground’” March 4, 2010 To the editor: Since its inception, Israel Apartheid Week has shown it is nothing but an opportunity to spread hatred and intolerance. Although the government has unanimously condemned it as such, the University Students’ Council has decided that it was ... (more)
Re: “Pets require real commitment” Feb 24, 2010 To the editor: I strongly believe people — students in particular — have no idea what they are getting into when they get a puppy. I know it is cute and everything but as written in the Gazette’s column, it is a huge ... (more)
Re: “Out of the lab and into the House” Feb. 25,2010 To the editor: While it is true that nobody with a science background ran in this year's University Students’ Council presidential election, I have to dispute the implication that science/engineering students don't seek leadership positions on campus. This year's USC ... (more)
Re: “Facebook threats made against USC clubs” Mar. 3, 2010 To the editor: I'm writing in response to the article concerning the intimidation felt by students participating in Israeli Apartheid Week and those opposing it. The Gazette failed to mention that the event was approved by the University Students’ Council, while the counter-protest ... (more)
Re: “Shoulda stuck with badminton” Feb. 24, 2010 To the editor: I have spent many an hour enjoying the in-depth journalism offered by the Gazette — and by that, I mean doing the crossword. However, what I saw today appalled me. Normally when an athlete brings home an Ontario University Athletics silver ... (more)
Re: “Promotion is costly, price tag is justified” Feb. 3, 2010 To the editor: In response to Mr. Singer’s claim that gimmicky promotions are simply the “price of democracy,” I have to say I whole-heartedly disagree. To address his point that cross-campus promotions are costly and difficult, I certainly concede. However, when ... (more)
