Aricela Marquez commented on Nick Klein's blog post Have we forgotten about the war in Iraq?"I agree and disagree with Joaquin statement. Okay yes we have other focus points, but then again things are easily said then done. We have been under so much war that not many people know the specifics other than we ARE AT WAR. I for one support our…"
Joaquin Zuniga commented on Nick Klein's blog post Have we forgotten about the war in Iraq?"Well what do you expect, it's not a war that people wanted in on mostly because it's a pointless war and we don't really see Iraq as a threat anymore. Saddam Hussein is dead, now just clean up some rebels and bam you're done.…"
Tara Koepke commented on Nick Klein's blog post Counterfeiting: An American Crisis"This is interesting because I never knew that counterfeiting is quite as common as it apparently is. It's weird to think that we could have easily used or exchanged a counterfeit bill. In my family history, I found out that some relatives found…"
Nick Klein replied to Gary Anderson's discussion The D211 Semester Grade Chart: Beauty or Beast?"I think that it is good. It helps students plan on what subjects they need to study more for and on what subjects they don't need to waste time on."
Nick Klein replied to Gary Anderson's discussion I Thought of American Studies Today When ..."I thought of American Studies today when I saw a man picketing in front of a BP gas station. It reminded me of our right to protest."
Nick Klein commented on Dan Knuerr's blog post 90's"Its interesting to see how our t.v. shows have evolved over the years."
Nick Klein commented on Joey Marasco's blog post The Coolest Homes I've Ever Seen"It would be great to live in one of these houses. If you did happen to buy one of these houses, you would know that there are no other houses like it and that it was designed by one of the most famous American architects."
Nick Klein commented on Mike hoffman's blog post Driving license: move it to 18?"I don't think that the age minimum should be necessarily moved to 18, but there should definately be an increased difficulty in getting a drivers license."
Nick Klein commented on Robert Izzo's blog post The Friendly Confines"There are too many classical/historical elements in Wrigley that you just wouldn't be able to duplicate if you made a new park."
Nick Klein commented on Danny Vasilev's blog post World War 2 In School"I too agree. Many things were changed because of world war 2 and a lot of things today are still affected by the results. We should definately spend more time on it in class."
Nick Klein commented on Alex Hepler's blog post Age Profiling."I think that the actions of some kids have ruined it for everyone else. People need to understand that not all kids are like that."
Nick Klein commented on Matt Benson's blog post So, what about the Gulf?"I think that the government should punish BP. There is really no one else to blame and so far no one has really stepped up and claimed responsibility for the incident. And now they are putting human lives at risk."
Nick Klein commented on Mari Saunes's blog post Pros and cons of having the Final Review online."I think that it is good to have the review online because there are links to the different sections to help you if you wanted more review on that specific section. I also like it because it is all in one place. More organization."
Nick Klein commented on Liz Dickerson's blog post What's going on in the world? No seriously, does anyone know??"I think that the media shows us the stuff that will capture our attention and persuade us to keep watching their program. I also think that they sensor a lot of the news to keep our opinions on the station positive."
Nick Klein commented on Kevin Gosiewski's blog post The Media...Can't Live With Them, Can't Live Without Them"I think that the media needs to publicize the news, but only the major stuff. Some of the stuff that they make a big deal about is just a waste of our time. Overall, they just need to make the news more worthwhile and let celebrities live their…"
Nick Klein posted a blog postCounterfeiting: An American Crisis
Ever since there has been currency, there have been counterfeiters trying to replicate it. According to Cosmoloan.com, over 64.4 million dollars of counterfeit money found its way into the US economy last year. With the instability of the economy right now, statistics like this lead economists to worry about the success of our financial future. You may wonder how this amount of counterfeited money would effect our economy. Well for every "fake dollar" made,…See More

Have we forgotten about the war in Iraq?
How often do you think of the war going on in Iraq? The Iraq war may be the most under-publicized war in American history. According to news archives from NBC news, just 80 minutes of coverage relating to the war in Iraq was shown during all of 2009 on their news program. This statistic may also relate to the high disapproval rating (61%, poll taken by CBS news in mid year 2009) of the war amongst American citizens . Also, according to Newsbusters.com, the last time a White House reporter…

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 :)"

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
