Mimi LaPiana commented on Corinne Chapman's blog post Inappropriate for 7 year-olds?"that video reminds me of the show toddlers and tiaras on tlc. its just so unnatural for these young girls to be dressed up like that and to dance that way. it's not like they had a choice. parents should have respect for their daughters."

Mimi LaPiana commented on Bridget DeFilippo's blog post Parents+College Talk= Nothing but Stress"same. my dad is always saying where are you going to go to college? have you gotten a job yet? how are your grades? i hate it when he does this because it stresses me out so much. i don't even want to respond but if i don't he gets mad."

lexibarwacz commented on Mimi LaPiana's blog post what's up with today's tv?"I think all of it is trashy, but yet i still watch the shows and think there hilarious, i wonder if its more of how trashy is to far or the question of why do we even find these shows funny"
Nicole Lee commented on Mimi LaPiana's blog post what's up with today's tv?"I personally have never watched "The Hills" and have only watched one or two episodes of "Jersey Shore." A lot of tv shows these days are all about reality tv. Some of these shows are just so trashy that I dont even understand…"

Mimi LaPiana posted a blog postwhat's up with today's tv?
Recently I was watching "The Hills," and I was wondering what is up with all these trashy shows? It seems that now-a-days every popular show is not normal. Whether you are watching "Jersey Shore," "The Girls Next Door," "Keeping up with the Kardasians," "Teen Mom" you have to be able to realize their behavior is not normal. I wonder if they are putting on a show for the cameras or is that the way they normally act?A perfect example is Spencer Pratt. What is his problem? He is mean to his…See More

Alison Hagan commented on Mimi LaPiana's blog post Full Body Scanners... An Invasion of Privacy?"It sounds kind of sensationalist to me when I hear it put like that. FOX news threw a huge hissy fit over it that was absolutely hilarious though. "IT'S NOTHING LESS THAN PORNOGRAPHY" what a knee slapper. I think it's a bit…"
Mari Saunes commented on Mimi LaPiana's blog post Full Body Scanners... An Invasion of Privacy?"I don't think it's invasion of privacy, because it's not like they can see your body in full detail.

Full Body Scanners... An Invasion of Privacy?
Recently, I was watching the news and they had a segment on the new body scanners they recently put in O'Hare. They raised the question, "is it is an invasion of personal privacy?" I personally don't think so. It makes everything safer and if you aren't hiding anything then why would it be a big deal? For me the benefits of these body scanners outweigh the big privacy issue. These scanners add another layer of protection... wouldn't you…

Adam Babcock left a comment for Bridget Babcock"There are many options out there, but to standardize is to tell a lot of teachers to learn something new or unfamiliar... it's a tricky subject. That's why I'd love to start my own school, powered by Edmodo, Ning, etc :)"
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. "

Justyna Chlopecka posted a blog post9/11 Skylines and Turnstiles
I'm not usually someone who writes a lot , not publicly anyway but I do love to express my self through art, usually visual art but most of the time the art I make is influenced by something . In this case it's a song a written by one of my favorite musicians as a response to the feeling of horror and disbelief as he watched the Twin Towers in New York go from icons to ruins on 9/11/01. The song is sad,…See More
