Would it be possible to put the articles in a quotey-spoiler thing? I wanna get in on the moron bashing, but I can't use the links for some reason.
I'm only using the links because I can't post the pics using file sharing sites (I'm on a school computer right now). When I get home, I'll be sure to use ImageShack or something to get them fixed.

Blow jobs. The only logical conclusion to how she's in that position.

Bit off-topic here, but wow. Maybe it's because I've specialized in technical drawing since I was a little kid, but holy shit is that MP5 in the second pic badly drawn. SO MANY SQUIGGLY LINES. And the bullet is BIGGER THAN THE DAMN BARREL!? You know what? Submit it to this guy:

Maddox will bring that atrocity to justice.

That is all. I've got nothing else to contribute here, mainly because I don't feel like depressing myself further.

I dont see the problem here. Then again, that may be because my state is already one step ahead of you. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/528.399958-Kansas-arms-schools#16421375]

As for the other, I dont really care. She is entitled to her opinion and I am inclined agree somewhat (I have seen studies that those who wait until they are married for thier "first time" are happier and have stronger marriages), but I dont want to get caught up in all this.

Now, I must hide. I sense a shitstorm of epic proportions in the air.

What's weird is that the girl who does the drawings for them does pretty good anime style and realistic art all the time in class. I'm pretty sure she was phoning it in on this one.

No breathing human. Right. I'll get my abortion and birth control advice from pets, aliens and sock puppets. Most of them have all been fine with with the birth control, and see abortion as a sad, but necessary option for a planet that seems to have issues with birth control.

Sigh, equal and opposite. For every dumbass that thinks there's no consequence to sex, there's some reactionary like this that thinks 90% of the fucking on the planet leads to pregnancy.

If you consider the fetus to be a life, then abortion would actually be infringing on human rights. So there's that part.

In the UK schools don't really have newspapers, which all things considered, is probably a good thing, if this is what happens in the schools of other countries.

I like the way the first one says "Against the morals of the vast majority of the population of the U.S.", I'd love to see their source. I also find it very amusing that they talk about people having sex without considering the consequences, while promoting the idea that contraception shouldn't be handed out.

They complain about too much birth control, while saying that teenage pregnancies are a problem. Fantastic logic, I suppose they think if people didn't have condoms, then sex would only happen in marriage? History kind of shows that's not going to happen.

That's not to say that I disagree that teen pregnancy and abortions are not far too high in most countries, but the idea that "waiting until marriage and no contraception" is the solution, is just ridiculous.

As for the gun control one. Let's say that you have an armed guard. If a person wants to shoot up a school, then surely they could hide among the thousands of other students until they have a clear shot on the person who is supposed to stop them? Unless the proposal is to have entire squads of them patrolling at all times, it's a ridiculous idea to assume they'd help. They'd just be the first person targeted. It's not like the person who thinks massacring a bunch of innocent children is going to think that killing a security guard is too much.

I have always felt the idea that life doesn't begin at conception is a little off base. Biologically, basically every definition we use to define what constitutes life is met at conception. It more comes down to when you view this fetus as equal to the life of a fully formed human and whether or not you value that more than a persons right to choose. I am pro-choice but I still recognize that it isn't this black and white issue that the extremes in this issue seem to try to push it.

A bit more on topic, high school newspapers are the repository of some of the stupidest things ever written. The only redeeming part of my high school's newspaper was the Pokemon of the Month article.

Savita Halappanavar has the right to say it. Oh, what's that you say? She can't, because she died during a miscarriage that an emergency abortion could have saved her from, if the Irish doctor wasn't too ass-backwards to allow it? Ah, well I guess that still qualifies her posthumously then, doesn't it?

so let's just talk about our present/former high school newspapers. Was yours as stupid as mine? Did you enjoy it? Did you even read it?
I wrote one article for my schools online paper as part of my journalism class. I wanted to write something weird, out there, and memorable since it was my Senior Year. It was kind of a badly written article. I asserted facts I thought may be true but didn't really know were true (what is the word for that?) and incorporated pictures gags that couldn't make it into the final cut because of copyright fears. But other than those two things I'm rather fond of it.

The subject was about ponies.

*after reading the articles

Dear Goodness... What is with the one really ugly illustration and, more importantly, the formatting of this paper? I have never had so much trouble reading a school paper before.

"... the emotional strain that will haunt teens for the rest of their lives upon having premarital sex."

Oh, I'm sure 90% of Americans wake up screaming every night at the grim vestige of their irreparable past deeds.

She's on the student council. Of course.
Well I for one am kept up at night by my premarital sex.

OT: Yeah they're in highschool what do you expect? I know in my highschool shit was censored. You could talk about the sports teams or achievements of staff or students and that was it.
No opinions. No mention of controversial issues. No reality.

Did the writer's first boyfriend convince her to dress up as a hippopotamus for her first time or something?

You know you're on a site full of nerds when the biggest complaint isn't the brick-shitting insanity of the quoted person, but the crappy formatting of the amateur news paper.

Me too. Its great isn't it? Haven bee sick in ages too since I'm not inhaling any bacteria and such.

OT:
We have a school newspaper but it only cones out once a year and is to 90% about school related stuff and pretty decent, so no complaints here. But the articles from the pictures? Holy Jesus... I like how they repeatedly quote statistics and "general public opinions" but fail to give any sources or citations.

Oh, school newspapers.

When I was in middle school, I was approached to write an editorial for the paper. I wrote said piece stating why the Iraq War was a bad idea (this was when it was literally just starting). Thus began the only spat of bullying I had to endure. I, being none too thrilled at being called a dumb liberal *****, never contributed again.

My high school newspaper was excessively non-controversial - I cannot remember a thing about it, even though I remember reading it at my lunch table on multiple occasions. It is something that has, quite literally, made almost no impression on me.
