Afrequent counterpoint to passionate political leaning speakers among critics is calling them ‘bigots’ or just obtuse.
However, a study by the University of Nebraska found that some people are actually biologically disposed to have fundamentally different political views.
Neuroscientists came to this conclusion by testing patients’ physiological arousal to a liberal and a conservative speaking, respectively.
A rubber boot swaying on his head, multitudes of ties peeking out from under his salt-and-pepper beard, presidential candidate Vermin Supreme proudly distinguishes himself from the other presidential hopefuls with his signature opening line: “I am a friendly fascist, a tyrant you can trust.”
His campaign manifesto includes a mandatory dental hygiene law, funding for time travel research and an energy policy that involves harnessing the power of zombies.
IB classes are hard. To really thrive, one has to dedicate time and effort to the work an IB class demands. Even students who are looking for challenge may not be able to ready to commit themselves to the responsibilities of an IB class. Students who are on the cusp between being ready for IB have no alternative but to stick with standard classes until they are ready to take on an IB class.
I am the founding father of the Young Democrats and I write to you because I’m really excited about it.
We have a great group of people and it’s a great club. If you have ever watched the Daily Show or the Colbert Report and liked it, you’ll like this club.
We are still new and young so there is a lot of room for growth. We will most likely have a debate with the Young Republicans Club in the near future and, if you are a young Democrat, we could use your axe.

The administration has mandated that students register their smart phones, tablets, and laptops with the Information Technology department, the organization charged with regulating internet use at the school. Although the regulation of students’ use of technology was inevitable, the school is ill prepared for this move. The lack of warning, the limitations on administration’s power and the sheer multitude of devices owned will cause this measure to fail.
Why did I write graff? After tagging on and off for nearly 4 years I still don’t have a definitive answer. Sure, I like to sketch, doodle, draw, but graffiti, outright vandalism, is a whole different game. I’m not a “bad kid,” don’t get me wrong; I do well inContinue Reading
I started painting graffiti when I was a little kid mostly because it was a bit of fun and involved a lot of running and hiding like any other children’s game. It sort of started out as just painting quotes or offensive phrases and then as I got older I got a lot more creative and sort of branched out my painting spots.
For awhile I liked to find places where no one went because it gave me more time to paint and look over my stuff. Now I think I spend about 90% of my time thinking up ideas or matching colors – though I usually only get to paint about 2% of what I want to.
Students are quick to heap blame on their school for ugly ceilings, missing snow days, and parking snafus, but overlooked in the heap of blame shoved toward FCPS is a little shining nugget that someone got right.
I am talking about the salad bar. The salad bar, in the lunch-line furthest to the right of the cafeteria provides students not only with an alternative to an unhealthy lunch, but also with a better lunch. The result of “a confluence of good luck,” the bar is a good option for students looking to make healthy choices in the lunch line, principal Jay Pearson said.
This year’s freshman class is the first class required to meet the new Economics course requirement in order to graduate. Many people believe that if people learned more about economics and personal finance in high school, they would not have made some of the bad decisions that led to theContinue Reading
America is outraged, and it should be. Four U.S. marines were videotaped urinating on dead Taliban soldiers in a callous display of dominance. The Marines have always been a respectable institution and these soldiers have betrayed the honor of their role as soldiers. Yet outrage over this video contradicts the society’s passive acceptance of similar behavior in video games.
