Ugh.


Sometimes I hate BYU.
Idiots like this make me sick and give all of the students here a bad name.

Daily Universe, Letters to the Editor, 30 March 2010:

"There is one problem on campus that is frequently overlooked. This problem has caused many potential Honor Code violations, relaxed standards and, if left unchecked, may lead to further decay in our moral principles. This problem is the wearing of shorts on campus.

Although shorts have become commonplace in society, they lead to destraction [sic] from the learning environment that BYU is striving to provide. They may lower our body heat, but is wearing shorts really worth lowering your personal standards? Our dress should reflect the moral commitment of the university.

BYU-Idaho's dress code doesn't permit shorts or even capris. Their dress code promotes an environment for higher learning in a wholesome environment.

When a university permits the wearing of knee-length shorts, it seems the knee keeps getting higher and higher. Where are we going to draw the line?

Do we need to go back to a time where people kneel on the ground to see if their shorts are long enough? Do we need to have a lower standard than BYU-Idaho? No, we need to abolish the wearing of all shorts on campus."

Jeremy, let me be the first to inform you: You're a freaking imbecile.
But for the sake of conversation, let's get to the real meat of your problem. Are you honestly that stupid, or have you just been royally screwed up? Was it your mother who made you kneel on the ground to see that your knee-length shorts touched the floor? Or maybe shorts make you feel vulnerable and exposed, and when you see others wearing them, well. We all know how erotic two inches of bare knee can be.
People like you turn out like this. I'm religious, which some consider illogical, but I am not an idiot. I refuse to affiliate myself with you. There's a fine line, pal.

i hope this letter was a satire. also, did you read the 4 or 5 letters from the past week addressing the health care bill? they are by far the most uninformed, illogical and embarrassing things BYU has ever published. The letter "Health care and Castro": "I am amazed at the number of people, even here at BYU, who are embracing communist or socialist principles. If Latter-day Saints will save the Constitution when it hangs by a thread, then I ask we stop taking scissors to those remaining threads."

Seriously?

HONESTLY.
I'm glad you two are still sane!
