http://www.statenews.com This is the time of year most seniors would choose to eulogize their college experience with a teary farewell. But I somehow doubt the impact of sappy senior goodbyes — especially when they all tend to say the same things. en-us Foundry4 Wed, 07 Jan 2009 17:10:50 -0500 Wed, 30 Apr 2008 20:30:56 -0400 webmaster@statenews.com http://www.statenews.com/index.php/comment/16343/view Did you know that your name means “Fish” in French?

POISON!, her ancestors are fish. Little do you know, but Lindsey has gills and sleeps in a water-filled tank. And don’t mispronounce her last name – she’ll spray ink at you.

For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi. My own counsel will I keep on who is to be trained. A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. This one a long time have I watched. All her life has she looked away… to the future, to the horizon. Never her mind on where she was. Hmm? What she was doing. Hmph. Adventure. Heh. Excitement. Heh. A Jedi craves not these things. You are reckless.

While your college experience would be worthwhile fare on listentomepleasebecauseineedyourvalidation.blogspot.com, I doubt that the New York Times or Chicago Tribune is going to offer it up as a serious issue worthy of debate and introspection on their editorial pages. Please take a stand on something and research it. Preferably something other than “make good decisions” and “persevere” – common sense items that would go well with editorials such as “drink water to survive” and “love is good.” Wed, 23 Apr 2008 08:23:04 -0400 http://www.statenews.com/index.php/comment/16367/view http://www.statenews.com/index.php/comment/16370/view “Lindsey Poisson is the State News opinion writer.” Note the use of THE rather than A.

Seriously, is this a satire? I have learned more life lessons eating a ham sandwich.

Not to worry, they’ll find someone else to belittle in short order. Dave, you got any of that ham sandwich left, man I’m hungry, too much smoke earlier today. Yoda, don’t eat any more of that acid, I think it’s kinda messing you up dude and you’re talking sorta odd.

In four years (or however many years you were at MSU) you only learned those stupid little quips? I mean, c’mon. Did you live in your dorm room 24/7? One: How is it your prerogative to judge the idiots at the university? You know the old saying…“takes one to know one.” Two: Arguments are healthy for social interaction. Not every argument is a dumbed-down slugfest. Wed, 23 Apr 2008 16:36:14 -0400 http://www.statenews.com/index.php/comment/16419/view http://www.statenews.com/index.php/comment/16422/view dude!

I lost faith in this chick after she actually faulted Danish newspapers for reprinting the cartoons, and instead of siding with her journalist fraternity, decided to say they were wrong in their “delivery”, as if there’s any delivery that would reason with fanatics.

See that word spelled “Opinion” up there? That means: 1. This article should have a point. 2. The point should be one side of a viewpoint with relevant data. 3. The article, being written in a college newspaper, should be somewhat intelligent. 4. Lastly, the opinion should be debated by the readership. Like I said, if this was a blog I would have reserved my comments. As an editorial, this sucks the chrome off a bumper.

BTW,I don’t why she got made fun of so much. I’ve enjoyed reading her opinions since her “Meaning of holidays lost in shopping craze, many people not jolly” in 2005.
