Universal Egalitarianism

Thursday, July 28th, 2005

Ken Boring, a NYRA member, did a good job of identifying different philosophic perspectives that draw people to youth rights and lead them to support our issues. There very well may be more than this, and I encourage everyone to suggest some, but I think he is off to a good start. He […]

Dreamses, Troopeses & Disheveled Hair Projections

Saturday, July 23rd, 2005

Passing along some bad translation hilarity I spotted over at Matthew Ygelesias‘ blog. A pirated DVD version of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith translated the dialouge to Chinese, then (someone else apparently) translated the Chinese translation into English subtitles. Some of the meanings got lost (or horribly, comically mangled) in the process. […]

Google Knows All

Saturday, July 23rd, 2005

Google never ceases to amaze me. The last few days I’ve discovered Google Maps, which is just a fantastically cool site that lets you look at satelite photos from around the world. I had fun looking up all sorts of places the other day. Check out my cool finds over at the […]

OMG wtf?! d00d! america hax!

Friday, July 22nd, 2005

This is fricken hilarious. Jason posted it back on the NYRA Forums on the 13th. It looks like its starting to make its rounds online. If it turns into some big phenomena, I want to point out that I got in on it early.
Here it is. […]

Evil Telemarketers Get Eviler

Thursday, July 21st, 2005

If getting annoying calls every day urging me to buy aluminum siding or informing me of a fabulous vacation package I may have one in the Bahamas isn’t annoying enough, telemarketers have cooked up a new plot in their quest to destroy the minds and disrupt the lives of all innocent Americans.
Quite a […]

More Bombings in London

Thursday, July 21st, 2005

They seem small scale compared to the ones on the 7th, but still worthy to take note of. Wikipedia (amazingly) has some pretty good coverage and information.
On July 21, 2005, a series of explosions were reported in London, two weeks and some hours after the July 7, 2005 London bombings. Unconfirmed reports stated that […]

A look into the world of legal kidnappings and imprisonments

Wednesday, July 20th, 2005

If you have some time, this is a good read to understand and see inside the gulag school industry and the escort services that support it. For those unfamiliar with youth rights, I hope this is eye opening. For those already on board with youth rights, I hope this spurs you to action. […]

Bush To Name John Roberts To Replace O’Connor
WASHINGTON (CNN) — President Bush will select U.S. Circuit Judge John Roberts Jr. to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O’Connor on the nation’s highest court, CNN has learned.
Two sources, including a Senate Judiciary Committee source, said Roberts will be Bush’s choice when the president makes a formal announcement […]

Borf - The New Voice of the Youth Rights Movement?

Monday, July 18th, 2005

It seems everyone in the city knows about this guy but me (I don’t get out much), but his graffiti is everywhere around DC. Last week though it appears he has been caught. While sad in a way, it wouldn’t have been brought to my attention otherwise. In the Washington Post article, […]

Battle for the Right to Vote Presses On; Faces Biased Reporting

Friday, July 15th, 2005

NYRA-Berkeley bravely presses forward with their campaign to lower the voting age. Sadly after a few narrow defeats they have cut back from seeking the vote at 16 for all elections, to allowing 17-year-olds to vote for school board elections. Either way, if they can get a win, it’ll still be the first […]
