Dear Dr. Morning Star,
RE: Encouraging Students
To Commit Assault.

Your "Bitching
* Post" article could have
been amusing. The advice
to tell the writer to "take a
flying f**king leap" and then
to "slap 'em upside the head"
was vulgar. It is
disappointing to see bad
journalism (if it can be
called that), has spread from
our provincial newspapers,
to our news shows and now
to the UNBC student paper.

Well done on a bad job!!!
Siobhan Lane

Dearest Lane person:

You are obviously an
unmitigated fool. The Bible
tells us that the 'meek shall
inherit the earth’, but if
people like you get their way
it will be the WHINERS that
takeover, (and you'll
probably be on the Supreme
Court of Stupidity in the new
regime). My response to the
query in - question was
framed in such a way that
"snoopy" would have her
self-confidence raised in the
face of attacks on her
mental-state by people
claiming to be her friends.
Learning to love oneself is
hard enough without those
claiming to be close to you
running you down. I felt
that this person was in need
of an ego-boost and my
strong words were meant to
convey a strong message,
that what others think of you
doesn't matter and you
shouldn't let it get you down

or control you. If you notice
my response, ‘"slap"em
upside the head", was placed
within """ marks to signify
slang, or colloquialism. This
phrase is used to represent a
more mundane "wake them
up", "get them to smell the
coffee", "get off my back" or
“have them see the world
through your eyes", etc..etc.

Anyone beyond a grade 2
education would recognize
this for what it was, a mental
call to arms, not a physical
one. You have absolutely no
sense of humour and I
strongly suggest you
LIGHTEN UP!!!! It pisses
me off to no end to have this
new ‘politically
correctiveness' shoved up
my ass every time I try to tie
up my shoe lace. You make
it sound like the world is
coming to an end over every
little thing anyone says. This
is a student newspaper, not
the New York Times! So if
you can't take a joke,

Dear Dr. Morning Star

I'm thinking of starting an
essay paper that deals with
new advancements in
Artificial Intelligence. Can
you tell me where I can get
more information on this
subject?
