Mommy What Happened

By Susan Paduano on Sep 9, 2011

Why weren't you there When I needed you here? I don't have an image in my mind of anything of your kind     Is there anywhere, where I can see you Are you over the sea? Are you in my sky? Why did you die?   You were there to welcome me into...

This Means War

By stoffels on Sep 6, 2011

I could't believe my ears. There was that Hoffa dude calling tea party members SOB's. Coming from that low life pile of moldy buzzard vomit it might be considered. a compliment. It's all right if Teamsters don't like me because I didn't like them first...

Justice and Equality are Rights, not Privileges

By Adam Markon on Aug 26, 2011

Early this summer, I was a part of something no one should have to go through. My friend, who will go unnamed out of respect, came out of the closet as lesbian on June 17, 2011. Throughout that night, she received literally hundreds of comments on Facebook...

Out of Control

By stoffels on Aug 25, 2011

So you're driving down the highway and you spy a state trooper sitting on the side of the road. Perhaps you ease off the accelerator and curse him under your breath. A good number of people believe we don't need troopers at all. It takes so long getting...

By intoeverything on Aug 20, 2011

Follow God

By Be You 4 Real on Aug 19, 2011

Is heavy at heart... My focus... Is to do His will as I reflect on Life. No matter what people think or how they feel your commission is to obey God to the best of your abilities. There is not ONE man perfect! You just believe, remove fear, and don't...

WM3 Go Free

By Tyler Eastridge on Aug 19, 2011

I'm not sure if this completely falls under "Social Justice", but I have to get this off my chest.  It is somewhat controversial as well.  The title says it all.  The West Memphis three have been released from prison today.  If you do not know who the...

Where is Batman?

By C Warren on Aug 11, 2011

Perhaps a man wearing his underpants outside of his tights is not exactly what I am looking for, but that being said, where are our superheroes? It is no surprise that so many of our favorite movies involve a hero (even an anti-hero) delivering painstaking...

The Vagina Kind: and Other Allergies

By Lizzie Pelz on Aug 15, 2011

My best friend, who happens to be a homosexual male, most often expresses how he feels about a woman's naughty bits by quoting Margaret Cho from her "Assassin" bit when she says, 'Girl, I'm allergic." To be fair, it is a feasible excuse for anyone that...

No Asians for Nickelodeon, Disney, and Show Business

By Maggie Turney on Aug 14, 2011

Remember Avatar: The Last Airbender on Nickelodeon? Yeah, I loved that show. I used to watch marathons of it after school and on weekends. I was never a fan of asian films and television shows, but that and My Neighbour Totoro were two of my childhood...
