Re: Letter from the Student Government Association President

Michael Viox — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 10:28:48 -0000

As a senate chair elect and a member of SGA, AITS, MSCISSA, National Leadership Society, and gaming club member, I believe that it is everyone's duty as a student of Macon State College and soon to be Middle Georgia State College to be vigilant about what goes on here. To often do I see students who look at current issues going on within the school and show no passion for trying to help change what they see is wrong. I am asked frequently about current events and what "I" can do about it, but I never hear from the students on what "they" can do about it. I'm not sure if everyone is, as one of my professors calls it, "On the same page", but this is our school. We as students have the responsibility to voice what concerns us; and mold our school into what we not only want it to be, but what it needs to be as well. This is not High School. "Your" money, "your" parents' money, and "your" taxes are all going to this school to pay for "your" education. For the next four years or less, this will be your home. What kind of home would you live in? We may not be "Blue Storm" for very much longer, but that doesn't change the fact that we have a commitment to our school and our school has a commitment to us. Nothing can ever be changed with out knowing the problem. Speak up we are listening.

You are right, as a nation we have allowed ourselves to get in this condition. Where will it end?

Re: OPINION: Some controversial but constructive thoughts on homosexuality

Michael — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 15:49:30 -0000

Your article on homosexuality is right on, in my opinion. Especially the part about the Church's treatment of them. I am 100% POSITIVE that Christ loves homosexuals just as much as He loves me. I also agree that homosexuality is a sin; but so is judging them and treating them with hate or even disrespect. I just LOVE it when a preacher whose belly is sticking out so far he can hardly get close enough to the pulpit to read his notes and then bangs his fist in rebuke of homosexuals. We are called to LOVE; not to judge.

I really appreciate what you write here, very refreshing and intelligent. One problem though, I'm running Firefox on Debian and parts of your layout pieces are a little misaligned. I realize it's not a popular setup, but it's still something to keep an eye on. Just giving you a heads up.

Is Devon Allman wearing his Uncle's guitar strap? I hope so. It is a beautiful thing to see Devon being inspired and blessed by his Uncle's guitar playing. He even looks like Duane. The Allman Brothers are in my heart ALL the time.

Re: Statement from the President of Macon State on Residence Life

DeeShannon Garrison — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 16:17:36 -0000

It's too bad that there is an age limit for these apartments - especially considering that Macon State College has a high percentage of non-traditional students. Not that I am looking for a place to live, but if I was - and I were so inclined as to want to live on campus - it would constitute an instance of age discrimination so far that I am concerned. An aside: I guess the 30 and over group wouldn't have any interest in an iPod.

Re: GSA:The Alliance of Gay and Straight Students

Amy — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 07:02:21 -0000

Lauren, I agree. Being GLBTQ is a choice. It's a choice to be happy with who you are. It's a choice to no longer allow society to tell you what love is. It's a choice to not hate yourself for the way you have always been. I understand that it is hard to see where GLBTQ people are coming from. But I ask that instead of trying to understand something that is a biological and chemical mystery, instead try to accept and love the people who are just trying to do what they feel is right for them. We are all equals. And equality is all we ask for.

Re: GSA:The Alliance of Gay and Straight Students

Austin — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 13:32:48 -0000

Just because GLBT isnt a choice, doesnt necessarily make it a "disease" either. The connotations that come with the word diease are that of a medical nature...that it is something that can, or should be "fixed". And neither of those are the case.

I would just like to state that in the paper where you had the myths an facts stated, you contradicted yourself. If being GLBT isn't a disease or a choice then what is it?
