Pizza population falling Pizza Man, a Mountlake Terrace staple, great pizza at inexpensive prices, closed its doors on Aug. 23. At the Hawkeye we feel deeply saddened by this news since many a time the great men and women employed by Pizza Man have come to the aid of ASB and Hawkeye. The hot and buttery bread sticks, yummy marinara sauce, and friendly [...]
Profanity is not so profane
Being used more and more, cussing is losing its effect Profanity – vulgar language intended to desecrate a being. There are words in the English language that have been established to disrespect or disregard a person and their feelings. To call a woman “the B-word” supposedly means she is rude, aggressive, or unreasonable, or so it should be. Being 17 years old in 2010 [...]
Regulating freedom
The FCC can regulate anything that is broadcast publicly Many people would like to know where swearing originated. At this point, it is more interesting why obscene language still matters. Blame the Federal Communications Commission. The FCC decides what words are “indecent” and regulates their use. This does not seem fair, but it makes sense, until the contract between the FCC and [...]
Humanity naturally destructive
An attribute of man that is and always has plagued society is the tendency to cut down other’s work. People have the tendency to cast aside a multitude of demonstrations or products as tumultuous and trivial. The downfall is that those people fail to realize or even understand the countless time and tribulations the producers [...]
Mini Editorials: A short opinion about everything happening now
Originality + school spirit First it was decided that homecoming should be longer than a week and then there were even more random spirit days for little apparent reason. Frankly, five homecoming days and some assembly days of dressing up to show some sort of contrived school spirit is enough for us. And now Spring [...]
Sports and music are equal
I’ll just come out and say it. Music is not harder than sports, and sports are not harder than music. Most musicians in this school would agree with me in saying that, a band for example, is comprised of one team trying to achieve one goal: a flawless performance. No other opponents. No fields to [...]
Abortion is a necessary human right
How can a society reconcile charging someone who kills a pregnant woman with double homicide, and yet permit a woman to have an abortion? The answer is very simple, and also a key to understanding why abortion opponents are incorrect. Women have a choice as to what happens to parts of their own body. A [...]
Don’t Talk to Police
Compliance with our judicial system is important. If you are subpoenaed, it is important to report to the court and answer questions with honesty to preserve a fair and effective legal process. Up until this point, however, no one should ever talk to police or comply in any way as far as their rights extend. [...]
Religion is Institutionalized Rape
A common thread among the Abrahamic religions are backwards and laughable treatments of human sexuality. On the surface, it would seem this presents no harm to the public at large if members of the religious community wish to have clumsy and awkward virgin sex on their wedding night, but there is a very real danger [...]
Healthcare is a Moral Imperative
Some days ago, I overheard a student voice the opinion that Americans should not have to use their hard-earned money to pay for the healthcare of others. While this seems a reasonable sentiment on the surface, it is akin to complaining about having to pay for the fire department services of lazy poor people when [...]
