Oh yeah, and when I get caught up on various things, I'll be back to argue a little bit more, too.

Blogs and Blogging
A couple of people complained about all the arguing on the blogs. What you don't seem to understand is arguing is what blogs are all about. The fights here are nothing compared to what goes on on blogs where people are allowed to be anonymous or where people don't get in trouble for going too far. This blog and the arguments here are very, very mild for the blogging world. If you don't like arguments about politics and religion, then blogs aren't the place for you...

That cartoon is funny to me because for someone who is into blogging it is so true!! You're right about this one being mild. On personal blogs it tends to get pretty ugly. This is nothing.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying this blog and am glad we all have to oppurtunity to participate on it.
This cartoon is not funny, BECAUSE IT HAS BECOME MY LIFE. For real check out the time now 5:22am, can't sleep can blogg. Why thank you Mr. Q., thanks a lot I'm addited to the blog. Hi Kristen P.
ReplyDeleteSome blogs can definitely be brutal. This blog is so very mild, and I feel censored at times, but this is the single best idea I have seen to make students want to participate in class discussion, especially about controversial topics that wouldn't be time-effective to cover in class.
ReplyDeletehaha I love when teachers have a sense of humor. This is fabulous. ^ ^
ReplyDeleteMr. Quinnell, when you said in class earlier this semester to be careful not to be cynical, was it because cynics are unable to affect real change?
ReplyDeleteNot really, it's because by being overly negative, they're wrong a lot of the time. It's important to by cynical about some things (like the official story that any politician gives you about a scandal they're involved in), but accuracy depends on being open-minded about an issue, not overly negative or overly positive.
