Since when is providing socialization with the addition of *Bible Study* a generous act? Why is the religious aspect even remotely necessary? Did the students ask for that, or do they tolerate the preaching because they would like a hot meal and some company?
Just reminds me of how the Scientologists downtown are 'teaching communications classes' for foreign students who don't know any better or even what Scientology is. My friend told me after the class all the teachers walked up and thanked the picture of L. Ron Hubbard on the wall... they also have the students read Dianetics.... *shudder*
Why the hell do people feel they can't just help people, they have to try and convert them too??

Unions are bad for the same reason capitalism (and communism) is bad. Power is concentrated into the hands of a few, who predictably use that power for the benefit of the few.
There are answers to this problem: Democracy, the IWW and the international Anarchist movement.

If you're going to claim Israel is acting in self-defense by bombing schools, hospitals, homes, killing UN aid workers, etc, shouldn't you also reflect on what caused some in Palestine to attack Israel (albeit in a very small way) in the first place?
Palestinians aren't crazy extremists just bent on killing. They consider their actions self-defense as well. And considering the history of Israel's activities in Palestine since day 1, and the proportion of Palestinian firepower (virtually nothing) to Israeli firepower (nuclear weapons, anybody?), I'd say self-defense is far more easily claimed by the Palestinian side.

Oh no! Someone dropped off suspicious packages at a missile base! Those packages might contain something dangerous! Good thing the folks at the MISSILE BASE stopped 'em! Now we're all safe.

Also, much of the art present was in the form of sculpture, music and painted canvas.
Although I don't see why that should be given any more respect.

Art is art is art.
Who are you to define it?
The gray-wash paint is far worse, in my opinion.
Blank walls=blank minds.

Penny, thank you thank you thank you! It means a lot to me that somebody else took offense with this girls idiotic lyrics. It's disappointing to me that someone like Perry can use the word 'gay' as an insult and everybody just lets it slip.
To all the 'I don't care' comment makers: Maybe you should. You'd care if the girl was using racial terms in a derogatory, demeaning way, playing off stereotypes and generally being a bigot in that sense. But when she plays to sexism or homophobia, apparently it's still alright with you. Well, that's gotta change. And it will change.
By the way, just because a girl's queer doesn't mean she by necessity views women as sex objects. I'm a straight guy, and I don't view women as sex objects.
And I thought this was a progressive town...

It's only recently started, but if you'd like to participate in a project where you yourself can research, report, and publish online stories of concern to our community, check out sbindymedia.org.
It's small now but if more folks start using it it has potential. Anybody can be part of the editing team, by the way. You just have to show up to the meetings. Read about it on the about page.
