Bridget Babcock left a comment for Adam Babcock"I'm overloaded with social networking for school. They should make something exclusively for high school. Million dollar idea right there. Consolidate and simplify. "
Bianca Cerna replied to Bridget Babcock's discussion "The Hunger Games" By Suzanne Collins in the group Read a Good Book Lately?"okay so it wasn't on my list to read it for summer reading but my cousin insisted it was one of the best books he had ever read...and he doesn't read...at all. It was so different than anything i had ever read. It was kind of like America…"
Bridget Babcock commented on Kayla Rae's group Heard Any Good Music Lately?"Wow, Reign of Kindo is pretty good! I just YouTubed some of their songs. Their songs are brilliant. I love how all the jazz incorporated into their music, it really gives it life. Thanks for posting that Patrick!"

Heard Any Good Music Lately?
There's groups for movies, books, and plays, but not music! So here's one. Feel free to write anything about music on here; new bands/artists you like, your favorite bands/artists, concerts you've gone to, or song recommendations! =]
Bridget Babcock commented on Matt Sievert's blog post Will racism ever go away?"I don't think racism will go away. I think that we have to expose ourselves to other races and religions to fully understand. Knowledge and time will lessen racism. Matt is right as well when he says that we have to view everyone as individuals…"
Bridget Babcock commented on Gary Anderson's group Seen a Good Movie Lately?"Hey, I saw "The Social Network" and it just blows everything we know about Facebook out of proportion. It gives us a good idea what entrepreneurship in the modern day is like and it shows us how one simple idea can become a world…"
Bridget Babcock commented on Bianca Cerna's blog post Kids These Days...."They should be concerned with how they are growing up, but it has to be in moderation. I think if there was a medium between helicopter parent and totally chilled out, do whatever-you-want, parent that would be totally satisfactory."

"I believe this 100% and agree with what you said. You could have something totally awesome happen in your life but there's always a consequence to it. Life is a balancing act. Good things will happen and so will bad things; its just how you…"
Bridget Babcock replied to Gary Anderson's discussion I Thought of American Studies Today When ..."I thought of American studies when I found this article in the Smithsonian:

It goes through the history of the American religious tolerance; from…"
Bridget Babcock commented on haena y.'s blog post Our Difference Throughout History"Wow, Lauren you are on a roll. Well at least I get the second comment. I don't think there's just a way to stop all of these situations from happening. It's more of a process. We have to educate ourselves, break free from following…"
Lauren Olson replied to Bridget Babcock's discussion "The Hunger Games" By Suzanne Collins in the group Read a Good Book Lately?"Nice blog Bridge, this looks like a very interesting series. I may be wrong, since I haven't read it, but this book reminds me of Fahrenheit 451. How the book is set in a futuristic society that is treated harshly. And first comment, win."
Gary Anderson replied to Bridget Babcock's discussion "The Hunger Games" By Suzanne Collins in the group Read a Good Book Lately?"If you like The Hunger Games series, you might be interested in this event at the Palatine Public Library on September 29:

Bridget Babcock commented on Jenny Doherty's blog post High School..best years of our lives? yeah right"Right now its only a month into junior year and I have about a billion questions rattling around in my brain; its a wonder i even sleep at night.

What's up fellow ningers?! :D Happy New Year! Somehow I ended up on the Ning this morning. Don't know if Mr.Anderson and Mr.McCusker remember our American Studies class from 09-10. Great times. It doesn't seem like this Ning has continued on over the years. What happened?See More
