I just wanted to call everyone's attention to a comment posted by someone called 'Chris' in reply to my blog post "Halloween? Hmm.."...I just wanted to ask everyone in the class to read his rather rude (in my opinion) reply, and tell me what they think of it...is it just me or are some people just SO not able to handle the idea of a person having different beliefs to theirs?
As I was reading through everyone's posts about their prospectus topics, it occured to me that writing these research papers is really going to benefit us..I mean, on most people's posts, the comments said that the person did not know much about this topic but is interested in knowing more. Sometimes some people have remotely heard of the topic but don't know a lot of detail about it, and other times people give their opinions. Writing these papers will give us a chance to get a better understanding about different issues, and will help us expand our thinking horizons by allowing us to use our skills of evaluation to evaluate eachother's arguments. I am glad that we are all doing such diverse topics because it is great to know about different issues/practices etc... Just a little thought that crossed my mind...does anyone else feel this way ?? (hey here is a chance to reply to a blog post and get lots of extra points *wink wink* so take this opportunity and COMMENT !!!!
Hey everyone !! I just wanted to apologize to anyone who asked for the class' opinion on their prospectus topic who I did not reply to...I haven't been on the blog for quite a while, so I wasn't able to post any comments. I still would like to give my opinion on everyone's topics, but I don't know if it is too late or what? (i am assuming it is because the drafts were due last night) Oh well..again I apologize to everyone who I didn't have the chance to comment on their blog posts. And thanks to everyone who commented on mine and helped me with their opinions!!! See ya all Wednesday...
Now as I look around this University of minnesota campus I see all different shades of women, with one thing in common, they all got something special and unique about theirselve; even if it is just the slightest twinkle of their eye, or a body thats makes you want just stop and double back around the corner, every one has somthing on this campus.
(NO DISRESPECT TO THE LADIES!!)
but I would like to know from the fellas!!!
what do you think makes a girl stand out above all the others?
Like I always say, BE HONEST!!!!
FAMO!!!!!
What exactly is this movie about ??? I mean it's pretty obvious that it has something to do with the September 11th attacks, but like who made the movie and what does it focus on?? Also where can I see it ??
In our society today you can actually feel the times shifting," as far as the generation gaps between us". It's now time to put the load on our shoulders
and run with it. I am a freshman in college and I feel that my role has shifted from child to responsible individual; More weight has been put on me and love it.
I think most peers my age, even though may fus and fight about it like to be in a situation where they have to fin for their selves. It a growing process that is almost an obligation for a person to go threw in order to contribute to society.
most people our age are look at as being very irresponsible and not goal oriented, I admitt before coming to this school those would have been my thoughts exactly to, but being in this envoirment, you see people who have their whole life plan, people that did not come to college for the parties and the beers but people who came to college for their eduation, and basically people who are trying to make a better life for theirselves
Isn't it funny how american families sit down and have dinner every day.
Isn't it funny how American families sit down and wtch tv together .
Isn't it funny how american families sit down and discuss their problems in a civilized manner.
Isn't funny how American families sit down every friday and play monopoly or bingo.This would be funny if these statements were actually true.
America was peg from the begining of 1950's "several years after the depression" as being a fundamentally stable envoirment for raising your chlidren
and being a model citzen. If this was the case war would have never existed.president Kennedy would have never been assinated. and racism would not have been and still is the leading cause of crime. Instead of the pursuit of happiness, it should be for the pursuit of what I can get man hands on.
Wake up and smells the coffee.
At freshman orientation I didn't know whether or not I was to be a commuter student or if I would be dorming on campus. Now class is in session and here I am... a commuter. There are many other commuting students, whom I presume are either freshman still living with their parents or are upperclassmen who live with their friends. I am neither. I'm a small towner from South Dakota who was dropped off in this gargantuan metropolis (in my eyes) and was thrown into the hectic life of a busy city. My average commute takes around 30-45 minutes... a big change from the 5 minute drive to high school. So now not only are tougher classes and making new friends everyday issues, but getting up an hour earlier just to make it to class on time comes in to play. So what's the point you wonder? Well, being a commuter sucks!!!
I feel that the world is perceived in a way that is not realistic in the American.
In am speaking of the homeless situation in America. most other countries perceived that the U.S per?capita rate is around 25,000$ a year, wich is somewhat true. The reasoning to this is that this statistic is taken from people
who have reported in the system; What about the 10% percent theory the ten percent theory states that for every 100%, 10% percent out of that has is ambigous to the count. the U.S homeless rate should be a big issue and not just browse over by the goverment and other countries

Hey, everyone,
At some point, I'd like you to think about issues of public-and-private in conjunction wtih this blog. As you've noticed, anyone can access the blog; it's not password-protected. You'll need to write with that in mind, and while it's fine to post personal-experience anecdotes here, remember that anyone can read them, so don't post them if you're not okay with the fact that the material is public.
Underneath this post, you'll notice that it says "Posted by Clancy." The default name for "Posted by" is your first and last name. If you don't want your full name to be displayed, I encourage you to go to the "Nickname" field and put a nickname in. Here's how you do it:
1. Login to https://blog.lib.umn.edu.
2. Click on "Rhetoric 1101."
3. Look at the bar going across the top. You'll see "User: [your x500 ID]."
4. Click on your x500 ID.
5. In the "Nickname" field, put in your desired nickname and click "Save."
Your nickname can be anything (within reason, of course), even a series of letters and numbers like "h438hys." It doesn't matter to me -- but you do need to share it with me and with the other students in the class so we know who's posting what.
