We’re supposed to riot

Jeremy W. Hunter

“You’ve gotta be kidding me! Have we all gone mad?!” This is what I’ve been saying the last three and a half years as I read the opinion page in the Daily.

I’m not talking about the columnists. I’m talking about the pointless drivel that never seems to cease from fellow students.

I have been able to tolerate it for almost four years. But the recent flurry of students condemning the so-called “rioters” really chaps my ass!

These students condemn the rioters as juvenile, immature buffoons but seem to forget one detail. We’re college students! We’re supposed to be immature.

We’re supposed to drink beer and act stupid. We’re supposed get naked and do naughty things. That’s why we’re here. We have plenty of time to “settle down” and waste away in the “American Dream” after graduation.

You know your life is pathetic if you’re a college student and are worried about other people’s maturity level. Go buy a six-pack and shut up.

I don’t think I’m done yet. We’re talking about four years of pent-up frustration here.

What’s with frat boys being so stupid? Their best argument for why they’re a good thing is 75 percent of Congress is greek! Isn’t it decided that politicians are the scum of the earth?

The only purpose the greek system serves is make sure rich boys and girls don’t have to “deal” with living in the Towers or take tests without a “test file.” Where is my “test file?”

The rich just keep getting richer, don’t they? My list of angry rants could go on and on.
