Chelsea Wyatt strikes one more time, knowing that the English major Taylor Diaz seems very knowledgeable on the nature of sex and making it seem the way I perceive sex is very idealistic, cute. Marrying is not just a “novel concept,” as Diaz said.
It is the right way, as far as the Bible is concerned. Diaz said, “in the grand scheme of things and in some parts of the world it still isn’t a popular idea.”
Well if Diaz hasn’t noticed for decades now, everything that is popular isn’t always right. It was stated in the April 22, 2013 edition of The Hawkeye that “I was dallying in slut-shaming.” I feel as though she felt offended, if so I do apologize.
What I don’t apologize for is what I am standing for, which is marriage and sex often works better together. I am glad that she finds it funny about my big deal on consensual sex, but in the opinion section of The Hawkeye, sex is what I chose to write on and what I will stick with.
Diaz also stated it is “two adults enjoying themselves.” I find it hilarious, because not once did she have a purpose stated for the enjoyment. Is she ready to have kids, is she ready to tell her kids in the near future that all the sex that had taken place was pointless and she isn’t married to any of the men she slept with. No, she is not.
Not once in the paper did I make an exception for myself to the rule. Diaz says that my ideas are “romantic idealism” suited for “pastoral poetry” and “out of date.” Well Diaz must definitely be out of touch.
No one asked her to be goaded into feeling ashamed about her sex life in the opinionated section of the paper. It was only a matter of having a chance to share my opinion with the student body. But then there is the positive side, she is correct about one thing, I am not experienced and I am very honored not to be.
But Diaz fell short when she said, “I don’t have the authority to preach on such matters.’’ I actually do, it’s called the 1st Amendment.
I can see that she doesn’t care what people do in their bedrooms but I do. After those few minutes of enjoyment, have you considered the after math and what takes place with the emotional distraction in someone’s life?
Diaz also compares the situation to a car, wise choice. When the car breaks down completely, you will have to replace it. And there are some who still die while wearing a seatbelt, just like kids wearing condoms and still catch the diseases.
So yes, students at ULM with some sense of self-respect for his or her self I ask again, what will you gain from having sex with so many people?

I feel great thanks all of you for taking he time and reading much respect

Ok, I’ll put forth an opinion of my own right now.
My one year old “bastard child” is happy, beautiful, smart, and free. He doesn’t have a father, through no fault on either of our parts. Sometimes shit just happens, Chelsea. I am certainly raising him to be a hell of a lot more open minded and tolerant than a half of Chelsea Wyatt. Were you raised in a vacuum? What is wrong with you that gives you motivation to hate as freely as you do? Why do you insist on passing judgment?
I am actually seething right now–that’s how offended I am. I’d love to hear her thoughts on rape, next.

Oh lawdy lawdy.
I guess I’ll just restate what everyone else is saying, since that’s pretty much the only thing left to say. This is nothing but an attack on Diaz.

It’s actually pretty amusing to watch her grasp at so many straws. It’s kind of like the part in a movie where the unwitting participant in an evil scheme tries to grasp what exactly is happening.
Her ignorance, on the other hand, is more off-putting than her fumbled attempt at a retort. Her extreme ideas about sexuality (namely there only being whores and honest married women) is downright laughable, and her creepy obsession with everyone else’s sex life screams of a repression the rest of us shall never know, luckily.
I don’t know why she felt the need to attack rather than articulate, but it seems that she has chosen the greater of two evils as a response, and now she’s left looking like the child that didn’t get the toy they wanted. I suppose she thought that by virtue of her purity she couldn’t possibly sound worse than other, less virtuous women, but alas, she sounds like the sexually frustrated teen from any number of coming-of-age movies.

When did newspaper articles become more about slandering a different opinion and less about informing the masses? This article is not informative and is strictly an attack on Diaz. You should be ashamed.

‘I can see that she doesn’t care what people do in their bedrooms but I do.”
Maybe this could have been phrased differently? Where do you get off trying to place yourself in the bedrooms of others? This is what’s wrong with most Americans. They try to dictate things that has no relevance to their life. Let’s be realistic, times have change since the Bible has been written. Every American does not live by the Bible. There are many different types of religions and a lot of Atheists. The Bible can’t really be used as a source since everyone does not believe in it. If this is what you want to believe then that’s fine. Just remember that everyone is not bound to the same laws/commandments of the Bible. I am simply in disagreement of the quote stated above. Make a sound argument.

Why are we paying someone to write this garbage? Can we just get someone who is good at writing opinions and not ignorant? Just once please for the sake of the campus sanity.

Letters to the editor are not paid, the are sent in to the staff.

This is ignorance beyond belief… How is it possible to misconstrue, so badly, the opinions Sunny was stating in her article? It looks like the Bible Belt has struck again. Single-minded blindness such as this knows no end, and has no remedy, unfortunately. What do I gain from having sex with whoever I want (since I am a ULM student)? I gain experience and the lasting knowledge that after we part ways, whoever I was with will still be a good friend. It’s a pleasurable, consensual experience, that has helped me discover more of who I am. Just because sex before marriage is wrong in your opinion and interpretation of the Bible, doesn’t mean that those of us who disagree with you have no self-respect.
Thank you and have a nice day!

I agree with Cebus. Too many sarcastic quotations, not enough intelligent rebuttal.

I lost brain cells reading this article, and now I’m going to go drink chlorine, because that will be less painful than contemplating the depths of this author’s blistering ignorance.

I agree completely Chelsea. Until gays and lesbians are able to have national marriage recognition, they will forever be forced to tell their bastard children that they are freak offspring of nature gone awry.
