SATIRE: College Requires Written Consent
College Students Required To Offer Written Sexual Consent
College code requires students to sign and submit waivers before engaging in any sexual contact, or else risk being disciplined for sexual misconduct.
Moron Dowd
Daily Bungle
It was your typical college romance. John and Jane met at the beginning of their freshmen year at Justinuther University, and over the next few weeks, began to know each other a little better.
By the following semester, after attending a campus party, the two decided to take their relationship to the next level.
Jane invited John over to her dorm room, where she made the first move and asked him if he wanted to sleep with her. John complied, and the two had sex.
Despite both of them drinking at the party earlier that evening, both were sober enough to offer each other their consent and use protection.
The next morning, neither of them were ashamed of what they had done, and both were willing to do it again in the near future.

Underfunded Schools? Explain This Sports Stadium!
Wikipedia
The prevalent myth about our public schools is that they are underfunded. This myth flies in the face of reality when you consider that our country spends more on education per student than any other nation except Switzerland.
This myth especially crumbles when you consider schools such as Allen High School in Texas. The school had enough money—exactly $60 million!—to blow on an 18,000 seat high school football stadium. What’s worse is that the stadium recently shut down—only 18 months after opening!—due to "extensive cracking."
Our schools are underfunded, and yet this school flushed $60 million in taxpayer money down the toilet over a

When I Was Little
When I was little I did not care,
For the thousands of you struggling out there,
So here is to you,
You beautiful souls.
When I was little I did not know
In your world full of nightmares you continue to grow.
When I was little I did not see
Such trembling lips as they uttered your plea.
When I was little I could not believe
How you kept on struggling on days we didn't grieve?
When I was little how could I have known
Your contagious laughter was a sight to behold.
When I was little I would never have guessed
That with such delicate wings you have been blessed.
When I was little I could not feel
How much your weak smiles really reveal .
So tell me, my child, how do you strive
To live each day just to survive.
Your innocent strides will take you far
For in Gods eyes you are the star.
So soar to the heavens with your fragile soul
And there before the gates we will count your toll.
Because when I was little I didn't dare to dwell
That while I live in heaven you live in hell.

DAPoliticalForum: A Retrospective
How's that for a title, eh?
I put up a poll asking whether people thought dA was getting, overall, better or worse, and what surprised me was that the people who commented mostly talked about the forums, where I was wondering about the site at large. I haven't really thought about the political forum for a while now, but I guess that, combined with Lolly's recent series of (fucking excellent) reminisces about dA's past have got me in a mood to write myself some closure about that, if only for myself.
I haven't posted there for a few months now, and what's odd is that I feel no real desire to. I'd take forum 'breaks' in the past that lasted for days or just hours-I just couldn't stop myself from coming back for more. Now? Nothing of the sort. I'd say there were two big things that led to my exit. First, last July, I noted TBSchemer and Unvalanced asking them to block me, because, for various reasons, I just couldn't handle dealing with them anymore. To their credit, they were

The Price of Freedom
How often do we hear this phrase? It gets bantered about all the time, particularly here in the USA - "...land of the free...". It has become increasingly more prevalent in the wake of 9/11, after that long lovely lull following the end of the "Cold War". People talk about it like it's this grand noble thing. You hear phrases like "the blood of young soldiers" or "the courage of the American people". Well, I'm about to call bullshit on all that, and it's going to hurt. I know it will hurt because it hurt me to learn the truth of it. I might as well illustrate with the recent events in my personal life. Please bear with me, because it's difficult to share. But I firmly believe in the illuminative potential of this example.
A few weeks ago I did something stupid. It was by no means illegal. I didn't hurt anyone. Hell, I didn't even hurt myself - not i

The living policy violation
The living policy violation.
From recent discovery of secrets and hidden truths.
One of the mysteries of my existence had been solved,
It had always been a whisper in the wind, the touch through my hair.
Through pain , hardship and agony it had been confirmed.
The trauma, the abuse, the neglect … deleted, edited and censored.
Enforced to be conformed to a binary gender against my will, against my mind.
To the point a part of my flesh of completeness had been removed.
I was only but an innocent child free from the nonconformities of gender policy.
The lack of empathy and love regurgitated from a religion of hate
Embeded into the law and policy of the mindless zomby sheeple society.
A society built on greed, wars, hatred, selected discrimination and favouritism.
Anything different, anyone different, considered a taboo, deleted or censored.
I ask you why do you do this to me? I have done nothing to you.
You disconnect from consciousness and bind policy to fascism
You dont understand

I want to take a brief moment to thank all of the elected officials (the Presidents, Vice-Presidents, Senators, Congressmen/women, Judges, Lawyers, Secretaries,), and all of the Ambassadors, writers, editors, artist, and everyone else who had worked so hard over the years to make this experiment such a success.
We were the very first Forum-based Group, the largest, the longest lasting, and had the best political art on deviantART. Everyone who came after us modeled themselves after us.
I cannot thank everyone enough for all that they contributed.

The news out of Cuba is that Fidel Castro has died. Confirmed by his brother Raul, Castro's remains will be cremated.
His death marks the end of an era in many ways, and Fidel will remain a controversial figure for many years to come. Certainly, he is reviled by many in the Exile community. There is likely much celebrating in Miami and elsewhere. To many across Latin America and the developing world, he was a hero and icon of opposition to US Imperialism. He will be mourned wherever such persons are found.
That is all.

The Elephants and The Mules
Once upon a time, in a faraway place was a land of elephants. The elephants spent their days walking from one lovely place to another eating the grass which grew in abundance there. They lived with their families and lived contented lives.
One day, the elephants saw a great cloud of smoke off to the West. It billowed upward until flames appeared at the base of the firestorm and the elephants were frightened. But the fire stopped when it got to the Great River. They were safe.
A week or two later, the elephants started seeing mules coming from the West. They were tired and hungry, some with burn marks and scorches. They told the elephants the same story, that they lived in their land eating their grasses when a huge thunderstorm came through and lightening started a voracious grass fire which spread all the way to the Great River. Many mules had been killed, many more injured. T

When I Was Little
When I was little I did not care,
For the thousands of you struggling out there,
So here is to you,
You beautiful souls.
When I was little I did not know
In your world full of nightmares you continue to grow.
When I was little I did not see
Such trembling lips as they uttered your plea.
When I was little I could not believe
How you kept on struggling on days we didn't grieve?
When I was little how could I have known
Your contagious laughter was a sight to behold.
When I was little I would never have guessed
That with such delicate wings you have been blessed.
When I was little I could not feel
How much your weak smiles really reveal .
So tell me, my child, how do you strive
To live each day just to survive.
Your innocent strides will take you far
For in Gods eyes you are the star.
So soar to the heavens with your fragile soul
And there before the gates we will count your toll.
Because when I was little I didn't dare to dwell
That while I live in heaven you live in hell.

DAPoliticalForum: A Retrospective
How's that for a title, eh?
I put up a poll asking whether people thought dA was getting, overall, better or worse, and what surprised me was that the people who commented mostly talked about the forums, where I was wondering about the site at large. I haven't really thought about the political forum for a while now, but I guess that, combined with Lolly's recent series of (fucking excellent) reminisces about dA's past have got me in a mood to write myself some closure about that, if only for myself.
I haven't posted there for a few months now, and what's odd is that I feel no real desire to. I'd take forum 'breaks' in the past that lasted for days or just hours-I just couldn't stop myself from coming back for more. Now? Nothing of the sort. I'd say there were two big things that led to my exit. First, last July, I noted TBSchemer and Unvalanced asking them to block me, because, for various reasons, I just couldn't handle dealing with them anymore. To their credit, they were

The Price of Freedom
How often do we hear this phrase? It gets bantered about all the time, particularly here in the USA - "...land of the free...". It has become increasingly more prevalent in the wake of 9/11, after that long lovely lull following the end of the "Cold War". People talk about it like it's this grand noble thing. You hear phrases like "the blood of young soldiers" or "the courage of the American people". Well, I'm about to call bullshit on all that, and it's going to hurt. I know it will hurt because it hurt me to learn the truth of it. I might as well illustrate with the recent events in my personal life. Please bear with me, because it's difficult to share. But I firmly believe in the illuminative potential of this example.
A few weeks ago I did something stupid. It was by no means illegal. I didn't hurt anyone. Hell, I didn't even hurt myself - not i

The living policy violation
The living policy violation.
From recent discovery of secrets and hidden truths.
One of the mysteries of my existence had been solved,
It had always been a whisper in the wind, the touch through my hair.
Through pain , hardship and agony it had been confirmed.
The trauma, the abuse, the neglect … deleted, edited and censored.
Enforced to be conformed to a binary gender against my will, against my mind.
To the point a part of my flesh of completeness had been removed.
I was only but an innocent child free from the nonconformities of gender policy.
The lack of empathy and love regurgitated from a religion of hate
Embeded into the law and policy of the mindless zomby sheeple society.
A society built on greed, wars, hatred, selected discrimination and favouritism.
Anything different, anyone different, considered a taboo, deleted or censored.
I ask you why do you do this to me? I have done nothing to you.
You disconnect from consciousness and bind policy to fascism
You dont understand

If you have any more political art that's within the rules, be to drop some here.
Well, being interested in Russia has always been political in some manner of speaking. Well, depending where in the world one is, I guess.
After all, Russia does have some geo-political clout, has a direct and indirect impact on European and American policy, etc...
