TONIGHT I'M GOING TO SUCK

...your blood.

by Hector
Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year. No, I'm not a satanist or into the macabre. I just like the stories and the feeling of being scared, the hairs standing on the back of my neck, a chill down my spine, and goosebumps on my arms. So, in the spirit of the season, and for the sake of academia, I thought I would let you in on the history of one our culture's most famed Halloween characters.

WHY IRAN IS NOT OUR ENEMY

CONCLUSION -
THE BEATING WAR DRUM

The fact of the matter is Iran is not our enemy. Iran is not a terrorist state nor does it support terrorism; it doesn't seek the destruction of the people of Israel either. These reasons are just cooked up so that the American people will take to a conditioned reaction in the same way an attack dog is trained with one of those giant sleeves.

UNSWEETENED

by Annie
We all want to look good, and that’s normal. There’s nothing wrong with that, but if you’re like any of the girls quoted here, you could have a problem. If you do, you’re not alone. The fact is, millions of people have an eating disorder.

Ahmadinejad seeks the destruction of Israel.

by Hector
You always hear people quoting the Iranian President as saying, "Israel should be wiped off the map." Due to massive distortions caused by corporate-controlled media and powerful lobbyists, it is unclear whether these were his actual words or someone's misinterpretation, but for the sake of this argument let's assume that he used these exact words.

GENDER ROLES

by Annie
First and foremost I want to apologize to Becky, sorry for writing such a long post! I couldn’t stop, but I cut it down so it shouldn’t be so bad!

I was watching RUNNING WITH SCISSORS (good movie by the way) and there was a scene where Dr. Finch finds his daughter, Hope, in his “masturbatory” (his masturbating room) taking a nap. He says to her, “Go answer the phone, do some paperwork, go do something like a respectable young lady should do.” I didn’t really pay much attention to the comment until a few days later.

PART I - HYPOCRISY
by Hector
I am so pissed at the way things are in this country. Our freedoms are suppressed; laws strip us of our civil liberties; gays are denied basic rights; our black presidential candidate is threatened by hate groups; and we have the nerve to call ourselves leaders in democracy and civil rights?

MOMMY? WHERE DO CAPITALISTS COME FROM?

by Hector
My friend Fernando, co-contributor of this site, said something which I found very interesting. Although he can think up a lot of wild theories and views (which is probably why his number is listed in my cell phone under 'CRAZY BEAN'), I usually like to listen to what he has to say since he thinks completely different than anybody I know and is a sociology major.

A PLEA FOR DEMOCRACY

by Hector (Young Observers)

FREEDOM OF RELIGION

"I just have to say in all candor that since this nation was founded primarily on Christian principles... personally, I prefer someone who I know who has a solid grounding in my faith... I think the number one issue people should make [in the] selection of the president of the United States is, 'Will this person carry on in the Judeo Christian principled tradition that has made this nation the greatest experiment in the history of mankind?'"

HOW I'M NOT AMERICAN

by Hector (Young Observers)
I worked at a local retirement home for a year, so from time to time, when I find that I have a few hours on Sunday to spare, I stop by, help out, and chat with some of the residents. I hadn't been there in about a month or so, and after hearing that a resident whom I had gotten really close with passed away during that stretch, I decided I really should pay my old friends a visit...

A PLEA FOR DEMOCRACY

FREEDOM OF SPEECH

by Hector (Young Observers)
Everybody's so tight-lipped nowadays. You're not allow to say this. You're not allowed to say that. I feel like I'm waking up after I've been cryogenically frozen and am now discovering that United States as been taken over by fascists.?
