    Hey Blue. I’m talking about the field, not the University, as I assume Vanity has some interest in writing. If she’s just doing this for fun, it’s another thing. Thats where you would hope The Gothic Times has an editor, but thats another story.

    With that said, I don’t think there is a shortage in the University either, there is just no interest. If there was truly a need, replacements can easily be found. But The Gothic Times clearly is not interested in a reputation, so if there is a shortage, it’s just because students don’t want to associate themselves with the paper.

    Now if you suggest this piece is coherent, is comprised of research, and investigative skills, I respectfully disagree. I also don’t think anyone writes for The Gothic Times on a daily basis. With that said, I think 75% of the student body could write a better piece during a 10 minute class break. What takes genuine effort is asking strangers on campus about random topics. Thats a given. I think as much effort should be put into writing as getting the background details.

    lol “there is no shortage of people to do this type of stuff”, i’m curious to know why you think that. Many people have a hard time piecing together a coherent term paper, and very few have the work ethic, research, and investigative skills to write for any publication on a daily basis. Not to mention the nerve need to deal with the stress and criticism.

    Vanity,
    You need to learn to accept criticism and correct yourself when errors are made. If you feel you’ve made no errors, then simply thank the person. You calling Ivanka an “expert” and suggesting she join the paper is immature and unprofessional.

    Just because you need to improve your skills doesn’t mean others have to get in your field. Believe me, there is no shortage of people to do this type of stuff.

    The nature of this article wasn’t intended to be debatable, if that were the case I wouldn’t have gotten some of the campus community’s take. In other words, my purpose for writing this wasn’t solely based off what I thought or felt, but rather the student body. Again, as Johnson said, it’s merely a casual sex top aimed at college students. Moreover, to each its own but when you mention ‘grammar’ Ivanka, what exactly is your aim? If you feel as though you are quite the expert, why not join the Gothic Times yourself and showcase those “skills.”

    Johnson, my point about that was the attempt to make a conclusion is unrealistic for a topic like this. You can discuss it all you want but Vanity poses the article to someone who is considering a FWB relationship. The answer, coming from a college campus, is going to be more one-sided than from a general population.

    The topic is serious and yet nothing serious is presented in the article. That was my point.

    Don’t worry about my and what I’m doing and when. You don’t know who I am, who I live with, and what I do.

    Steve wtf is wrong with discussing casual sex on a college campus? Don’t assume that everyone who is doing the hanky-panky knows what they are getting into. I personally advise all to be extremely cautious before dropping those trousers and jumping in the sack. Take a play out of Steve’s safe sex playbook: up at 1 a.m., alone, and correcting grammar on a collegiate newspaper. Stevo, I salute you.

    Ivanka, I completely agree.

    For one thing, this is pure nonsense topic. That’s just my opinion. But you’re asking people what they think about casual sex? On a university campus? And you hope to resolve that argument here?

    But apart from the topic, this is worse than reading text messages. No offense Vanity, but don’t we have an editor? I understand that this is casual writing (hopefully wont get published), but these are basics.

    What does “Friend’s” mean? – Your friend’s coat for examples. Friend’s with benefits makes no logical sense.

    Not to mention some sentences make absolutely no sense.
