Bread and Roses“As we come marching, marching in the beauty of the day/ A million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill lofts gray/ Are touched with all the radiance that a sudden sun discloses/ For the people hear us singing: "Bread and roses!

Justice and TerrorismI. Introduction and DefinitionsJustice and Terrorism
In the post-9/11 world, there has been much debate as to how terrorists should be hunted down and how best way to prevent another attack from happening, but not enough debate about what to do with captured terrorists. Some say it is best to put the terrorist through the traditional legal system complete with the traditional rights and protections criminals in America are given, while others argue that the best option is to put captured terrorists through a military tribunal, with no right to be presented before a judge. It seems the most just—and legal—option is to put the terrorists

Coffee House BeastaryFor the novice people-watcher, a coffee house seems daunting—jargon and caffeine addicts are certainly a frightening combination. But this brief guide will help ease that fear, and allow the novice to get down to some real people watching.

recognition and reactionAs a daughter of America I have been blinded, coddled, grown fat on the luxuries of fast food and our staggering, ill-defined 'freedom' so easily unappreciated. I have felt poverty, lived in group homes, been the rag doll orphan of Birmingham, lived through beatings and been broken by the hands of my father. And even so, I cannot imagine, not even fathom the screams ignored in Bosnia, Afghanistan, Kosovo.recognition and reaction

I drink your MILKSHAKE! I DRINK IT UP!
Welcome to hell, kid.
You are a self centered CHILD. You build strawmen and then set fire to them (I NEVER said my work doesn't need improvement so don't you dare put words in my mouth!).
And where did you get the idea that I'm blonde? Because I know there's no pictures of me up in my gallery. Are you assuming that just because I think you're stupid that I'm automatically blonde and preppy? I happen to be brunette and an adorable nerd (complete with glasses). Think "hot librarian."
Might you try to critique my work before you say something stupid again? I know perfectly well that I'm not National Geographic material but I like to think there's some art to what I do. In fact, if you can provide an effective and well rounded critique of any one of my photographs or stories, I will take back every mean thing I've said to you and worship the ground you walk on.
I don't hate goths--I've actually met a few cool ones. They, of course, did not assume that any problem other people had with them was because they were goth but because of WHO they were (Goth is a "what" for them--part of, but not central, to their identity).
I'm going to post the response I was deliberating over (I thought I might have been being too mean, but such not longer matters) and then I'm going to insist that you stop infesting my intarwebs with your mindless drivel.

second, I'm a self centered child? wrong, what I am is a hard working US citizen trying to make a living with friends, but you start bashing my girlfriends work because it was as you said in the comment, goffic, and besides if I was self centered I wouldn't be here defending her, I would have told her to suck it up, but that's what a self centered person would do.
third, sorry for the assumption, assuming isn't one of my things, you just sounded like a preppy blond from my school, but that doesn't change the fact that your preppy and stuck up. you try to describe yourself as "hot librarian". Now that right there show's your self centered and preppy because the only females I've seen that have described themselves as hot are preps.
fourth, for the critique work I'll agree with you there, I was bashing all your works out of anger, but your drawings aren't great, my girlfriends is better than yours, but you randomly thought "hey its a really good idea to bash this girls work that's better than mine" which shows ignorance
Fifth, you say you don't hate goths, but you are a liar and a hypocrite. You rudely bashed one of my girlfriends drawings instead of giving a well rounded critique like you just told me to do. and within what I said before you said that the picture was bad because shes goffic(it's Gothic by the way, learn to speak English). And you also use the most overused excuse in the book, saying that you met a few cool goths, which is another sign of ignorance because everyone uses that excuse to get out of the fox hole.
Finally, to mean you say? I've seen Chihuahuas with more bark than bite than you.

I drink your MILKSHAKE! I DRINK IT UP!
I think it's hilarious that you tell me you're "a hard-working US citizen." What, do you assume I'm sort of lazy European?
She's a self centered child. You're slightly better. I neglected to notice you weren't her, but why the hell are YOU responding? Is she too chicken to respond? Too thin skinned to deal with criticism? I think she might be, if she tried to sick you on me.
"Goffick" is a term of mockery. I'm fully aware it's "gothic." It appears to me that I speak better English than you do, actually. I haven't screwed up like you have (see the bottom of my comment).
I'm vain as a cat, not a prep. You can be vain and not be a prep. Or blonde, for that matter. But I'll accept the stuck up comment, if you like. I'm arrogant and vain, and I cheerfully admit it.
However, this isn't about my personality or bitchy qualities, this is about your little girlfriend throwing a hissy fit because I mocked her work while also praising her. If she had laughed or just taken my advice and had an interesting reply, I'd have decided she was all right and wished her luck. She didn't and has been suitably mocked because of it.
I gave her a well rounded critique--I was just an ass about it. I pointed out the good and the bad and offered advice. That's a well rounded critique. They don't have to be nice and the invitation to critique MY work is still open. Don't be nice if you don't want to, but feel free to point out the good and the bad in any piece you want.
You calling me a liar and a hypocrite is unfounded. "Bitch" yes, liar, no. Hypocrite? I try not to be. I'd have to be a goth in denial to be a hypocrite and you seem to be convinced that I'm a prep, so try again!
I don't usually draw. Yes, I've posted a few drawings but they're all rather old and you have to dig through my gallery to get to them. Also, I quite think mine's better than hers. The perspective is off in Grendel, but there's other redeeming elements that counter that, even if only by a little.
I'm a photographer and a writer, not a painter or whatever. I wish I was, but I'm not. However, that doesn't mean I don't know something about drawing and am unfit to offer advice.
Go look up "ignorance" please. You have used it incorrectly several times.
Also, you fail. I think you meant that you've seen chihuahuas with a meaner bark than mine. That's ok with me. They're awful little buggers.
Another case of FAIL, "...which is another sign of ignorance because everyone uses that excuse to get out of the fox hole."
Fox hole? I'm an atheist but I'm not in a foxhole (go look that up, please). Perhaps you meant that it's an excuse used to get out of corners? Frankly, it doesn't matter anymore. I don't care if you think I'm doing this because I hate goths because I'm going to make fun of you anyway.
However, congratulations for sounding marginally more intelligent than your girlfriend!
