I used to write op-eds, film reviews and even some feature stories. Loving the new web-site, looks way better than what we had back in they day. </p> <p>However, I was having a hard time finding any contact information. I've got a press kit to send you all about a story and there doesn't appear to be any e-mail addresses available for your staff.</p> <p>So where can I can send this thing? :D </p> http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=15#post-66 Fri, 18 Dec 2009 21:17:48 +0000 John Kronenwetter 66@http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/ <p>I hereby declare Polito's Pizza the official restaurant meeting location of <em>The Forum</em>. I celebrated the end of the semester by grabbing a slice of Pepperoni today and was once again pleased with the food and value. </p> http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=14#post-65 Thu, 10 Dec 2009 07:16:46 +0000 John Kronenwetter 65@http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/ <p>This letter by Barb Seegert was originally published in Volume 47, Issue 3, and is reposted here.</p> <p><blockquote>Almost every human culture comes up with some sort of ideal way of being that no one individual can possibly live up to. The whole culture is set up for this ideal or cultural norm. The more a human fits this ideal, the more they get to participate in what rewards the culture has to offer.</p> <p>For instance, most doors are set up for opening by means of pulling or pressing because the ideal way of being includes legs for walking and arms for pushing and pulling. Until recently, we discriminated against people who could not open a door. As a penalty for being less than the cultural norm, we forced them to ask others to open a door for them, or be denied entry. “Normal” is a continuum. The more a person fits the cultural norm, or the closer a person comes to being ideal, the more that person gets to participate in the culture and reap the rewards it has to offer--usually social and financial.</p> <p>Many make their way through their whole lives feeling Less Than. A few finally reach the realization that we were all Less Than. Only when an individual understands that all humans have some aspect of the self that is secretly or blatantly at odds with their ideal, does that individual gain self acceptance.</p> <p>Self acceptance is not a fixed thing. It has to be renewed as often as it is challenged. The human culture that we live in presents us with challenges every day, and that cultural ideal that people try to measure us by changes as well. Even though a person may accept the self, they are challenged by those who do not accept them.</p> <p>We cannot truly change what others think, but by continuing to accept ourselves as we are, in the face of the challenges, we can, hopefully, make it easier for others to accept who they are. If it is only when we accept ourselves that we can accept others, then continuing to accept ourselves in the face of the daily challenges is the greatest gift we can give to humanity.</p> <p>I applaud Cadie Brusky, for continuing to accept herself as she is, in the face of the challenges she must face from a human culture that discriminates against her. It was especially brave of her to play the part of Helen in Fat Pig, which so aptly challenges us to examine what we hold as our ideals or cultural norms.</p> <p>Great job, cast and crew!</p> <p>Now let’s all accept ourselves... let’s all go forth and change some cultural norms... let’s change our definition of idea... let’s expand what we accept as normal!</p> <p>Respectfully Submitted,<br /> Barb Seegert</p> <p></blockquote> </p> http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=2#post-64 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 22:38:25 +0000 Christina 64@http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/ <p>Hello!<br /> I guess I am late with this whole introduction thing. My name is Christina and I will be gracing your presence with satire, advice columns, sports writing and student rights pieces as issues present themselves. I love meeting and talking to new people. I am majoring in broadcast journalism with a specifics in sports as well as a double minor in music and dance. Overall I consider myself a very opinionated, passionate person. </p> http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=13#post-63 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 22:30:19 +0000 Christina 63@http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/ <p>Today I went to what I like to call the black abyss...the campus computer lab. I walked in and you could literally feel the depression of the room shower over you. It felt as though Satan himself was there using us as puppets on display..mocking our very lives as we slaved away in unhappiness to reach the very goal of which he also controls..money. Yes, money; it is one of the ways he gets to us. Now I wont sit here say to love money or need money makes you some sort of sinner, no it doesn't mean that. I'm just saying to be contolled by such a resource makes you and I both prime crop for the reaper of souls. </p> http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=12#post-62 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 05:53:17 +0000 Aihwa 62@http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/ <p>I mean it!</p> <p>Im going to jump off my chair! </p> http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=12#post-61 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 18:09:18 +0000 John Kronenwetter 61@http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/ <p>Don't do it! </p> http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=12#post-60 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 19:13:50 +0000 Aihwa 60@http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/ <p>I'm going to kill myself out of boredom.</p> <p>ANYBODY!!</p> <p>PLEASE JUST TALK ON THE BOARDS! </p> http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=12#post-59 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 04:49:50 +0000 Aihwa 59@http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/ <p>I think I just saw one go by.</p> <p>Ask the next one to check for me.</p> <p>/sleep </p> http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=11#post-58 Fri, 09 Oct 2009 03:10:14 +0000 Luke Rudolph 58@http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/ <p>are hilarious read together.<br /> <a href="http://imgur.com/PPkbR.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/PPkbR.jpg</a> </p> http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=10#post-57 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 18:06:43 +0000 Aihwa 57@http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/ <p>0.0</p> <p>I like you already. </p> http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=2#post-56 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 02:14:12 +0000 Queue 56@http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/ <p>I am the horoscope writer.

Instead, they should be used as an example of how bad ideas in books influence reality by passing memes onto readers. Rand's philosophy is a major influence on the decline of American society. </p> <p>Not to mention, since the books are so large and contain such a large volume of paper (made from a forest from the size of Russia and Canada combined), that it would cause a hyper acceleration of climate change officially pushing global warming to ludicrous speed. Instead of burning the glorified doorstops and paper weights, they should be used for their most useful purposes--holding open heavy doors that annoyingly shut on their own, weighing down massive stacks of papers in unorganized offices in hurricane force winds, a tool to shut up annoying drunk college students stumbling around campuses, or even as murder weapons. </p> http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=10#post-53 Tue, 06 Oct 2009 05:59:57 +0000 Aihwa 53@http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/ <p>Ads.

Comments on articles do not use an avatar unless you are logged in. If you have a <a href="http://en.gravatar.com/">gravitar</a>, this will be displayed. We have not implemented multi-user features yet (including user blogs), but look for this in the next few weeks. </p> http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7#post-45 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 21:51:57 +0000 Aihwa 45@http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/ <p>I dont think it supports avatars. </p> http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=7#post-44 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:01:09 +0000 edifaceSmiles 44@http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>How can I add a cool avatar to my comments? </p> http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=4#post-43 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 05:02:22 +0000 Luke Rudolph 43@http://www.uwmcforum.com/bbpress/ <p>fuck pancakes.
