The truth is...UGLY!

Whether that meant you were offended, impressed, outraged, dispaired...it was meant to make you feel something...anything!

If you did, well done, you have just participated in a debate, if you sat in seething silence on your own then...oh well- you missed out on an opportunity to be both politically incorrect and incredibly exciting...

This is my comment to this piece:

Hi friend...

I admire your guts and unapologetic stance, be careful not to judge people though- we all do the thing we do for various reasons.
I appreciate your values and, without being gender centric, I think your argument poses a lot of difficult questions for many homo/heterosexual people in terms of religion and the like…

While people may call you ignorant, I commend you for voicing your honest opinion. Your piece has not raised issues undealt with, and even though Rhodes is such a ‘desert island’ community, it is obvious that the topic of homosexuality is a touchy one. If people were comfortable and content with their sexuality, there wouldn’t have been such a reaction.

I am glad your piece got so much attention; it means people are paying attention and we are pushing the right buttons…

Keep it up!

This is not the answer to the question you were asked!

Ever found yourself answering a question but saying nothing at all?

Such is the nature of essay writting.

One rambles on for hours and pages, without saying a damn thing! Then you are surprised by the measly 30%-42% you recieve from the marker!

Guys (as in plural, not masculine)! Varsity, as you are told, is where you READ for a degree... You are also told that "...the more you know, the less you know...the less you know, the more questions you ask..." hence why you READ to answer the questions or at least try to find them...

I know it is frustrating, but one cannot stress the importance of reading enough. Read anything and everything, from paperback novels and biographies to the inside of Chappies wrappers! Do not allow your young and fertile minds to lay waste to knowledge, remember: KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! It is how we, as individuals emancipate ourselves from the 'rest'.

Use this power to your advantage, don't abuse the opportunities awarded you. You will do well to repeat this phrase to yourself on a regular basis: "The world does not owe me a damn thing, it is up to me to make a difference!"

(Quote me when you do though, I'm patenting the phrase!)

Love yourself enough to care about your future and well being, don't assume that there will be someone to do it on your behalf.

Peace
