Flash Mob Generation

Published on 2011-08-14 03:21:00

It's been a while, but I just have to get this out. The youth street riots in England show us what happens when government flat out ignores the needs of young people for too long.

Washing Out the Sand Lines

UK Prime Minster David Cameron's "Big Society" is looking more like "Big Brother Society" every time we catch wind of one of these. Apparently, a youth can be investigated and even arrested by anti-terrorism forces for organizing a campaign to "save > read more

TSA Molests Children

Published on 2010-11-24 00:23:00

Today I think for the first time I felt that "genuine sense of revulsion toward the abuser" that all of society seems to fall back on. I'm not usually one easily swayed by sensationalism, but this deeply disturbed me. I saw this child screaming and s > read more

School Removes Bike Flag

Published on 2010-11-12 19:43:00

What a way to celebrate Veteran's Day here in the US-- a school once again overstepping its jurisdiction to render a student's free speech rights null. One can't help but feel the irony. "I took it off because I didn't want to get in any more > read more

Benefits of Teen Sex within Relationship

Published on 2010-08-19 10:43:00

You probably picture the teen who's having sex to be morally depraved and out of control, whose only potential outcome is pregnancy or STD infection (or perhaps both). Or maybe you don't, but if you do, it's probably because whenever you tune into a > read more

Back to School?

Published on 2010-07-31 23:30:00

Does it not frustrate anyone that they always seem to advertise back to school only a fourth or a half of the way through the summer? Everyone already knows why, it's because if they can't have parents spending money half way through the summer, then > read more

Published on 2010-06-16 16:55:00

Everyone needs to see this, because if we don't see it, our society will never learn. Here we have a 14 year old kid facing a charge for kidnapping because he (and his mom) tried to help a lost three-year-old girl find her mother in a store. Sure, ta > read more
