Comment on Thanksgiving, technology, and teens by Bria L.

I agree with you. We should use technology to advance our knowledge of history and not just for fun. We have so many resources which leaves us no reason not to be informed of the past. However, as someone stated above, it isn’t just technology. I believe it depends on different individual desires. Some teens are careless when it comes to learning and expanding their knowledge; while on the other hand, some teens have a yearning to expand their intellects and they care about knowing what went down in history. So, I think technology shouldn’t be the total blame. I feel it also depends on who you are as a person and your personal desires.

I guess you’re right, many teens aren’t interested in the founding of our country, the privileges we have in this country, etc. But I guess that’s just part of being a teen! I don’t think it has anything to do with technology. It’s probably hardwired into our minds to not be interested in things that happened in history or maybe it’s the fact that we’re more preoccupied with things in our lives than to think about the past.

Yes, I do agree. As I have mentioned to one of my classes, it does seem that technology has gotten in the way of traditions and traditional teaching. We have so much access to information, but we are not always using it in a positive way.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Addendum/correction for December 23, 2009, comment submitted to moderator for “Is This a Lie?”

First of all, I just read in The Jewish News that Robert DeNiro is NOT Jewish.

I want to add that the REAL 1st Supreme Court Justice was Jewish.

I realized that this NU online is for teens, should I have submitted my comment elsewhere?

Feel free to edit my submitted comment to match my above info. Or should I resubmit with correct information?

I haven’t determined if Netanyahu’s above speech to the U.N. is a lie because I haven’t had time to read it yet; but, I look forward to reading it soon.

However, I do know of a lie and am eager to share it with my friends in Springsteen country! (I always thought Bruce is Jewish but have learned recently that he is not. I may have gotten him mixed up with Robert DeNiro who’s mom is Jewish.)

To say that Sonia Sotomayor is the 1st Hispanic Supreme Court Justice is to tell a LIE! To discover who, indeed, was the REAL 1st SUPREME COURT JUSTICE, please read the October 18, 2009, post, entitled, “Makes Me Wonder What Else They’re Not Telling Me,” published in the blogcast, http://www.caleighbrookswatchingthewatchers.com Nothing against Justice Sotomayor but let us give credit where it is due!

Comment on Health Care by SHARON HEDDEN

I ALSO THINK YOU ARE A SOCIALIST IF YOU GO FOR THE HEALTHCARE REFORM. I AGREE, EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE HEALTHCARE, BUT NOT THAT WAY. DO YOU WANT TO WAIT FOR MONTHS FOR TESTS? TRUE HEALTHCARE IS LIKE ITALIANS HAVE. WHY NOT STUDY ON IT? MY DAUGHTER WORKS FOR AN ITALIAN BASED COMPANY HERE IN THE US. SHE HAS SOCIALIZED MEDICINE, READ ABOUT IT. IT IS EXCELLENT, NOT LIKE WHAT THE PRESIDENT WANTS.
