Comment to tiffany

I was able to read your blog but then it said i couldnt and i was unable to see if you can see my comment.  I read your blog and i agree that there should be a lighter workload.  Although i perfer not having to tale classes i am not interested in rather than a super light workload.  The workload seperates the weak minded from the strong minded.  The workload is a test of will.  I like the idea of no tuition but someone has to pay for the teacher's salaries and the workers on campus.  If public universities don't require the students to pay the tax payers then have to pay.  I feel that a university can exist where both tiffany and i's wants can be satisfied.  I chose your blog to respond to tiffany because i could connect with your ideas.

My university

Well my perfect university would be more of a revised university rather than a completely new system.  As a full time student paying my own way with a part time job, i find it difficult to juggle everything.  I would make universities lower the amount of credits required to graduate by cutting out the requirements for fine arts.  I myself am lucky enough to have gotten a really great Fine Arts teacher but from what i hear many students don't seem to mesh well with their fine arts teachers.  I would also change the rules on crediting gym based classes like; wieghtlifting, and martial arts.  I don't understand why dancing counts towards your degree but martial arts doesn't. If dancing can count towards your degree than why not a physical class.  The universities under my thumb would have more and more open class discussion classes.  To this day my favorite class has been intro to Sociology with Dr. Minnich.  Every class she let us the students debate about which criminals should be released and which shouldn't and other things of that nature.  Any class that gets the student involved rather than sitting down and ignoring the professor in a 3 hour lecture is great.  i would also never start class before 1030am because the mind isn't fully awake until 9 am.  Sports would be avaible to anyone who wants to play.  I would also make school cheaper in order for students not to feel rushed to get out school because it's so expensive.  Students could finish school at their own pace and get more out of college.  And finally i would have many dorms so that dorming could be cheaper and hopefully the price would go down in order for students with less money could enjoy the benefits of living on campus. 

"Yo Jesus Spin dat s#!@*"

1.  Well this blog post will be a hard one for me because i am an atheist and i honestly could care less about anything that has to do with religion with the exception of past historical religious events that have impacted western civilization.  I can't give a response to the t-shirts themselves butwould like to comment on who i believe wears these shirts.  I believe that a "gansta" Hispanic would be the type that wears this shirt.  The shirts are meant for the people who are really really cool and need to make another statement.  I believe that these shirts are mocking Christ and the church because putting the face of Jesus on a shirt that says "Jesus is my homeboy" is almost hypocritical.  This falls under hip-hop culture and this culture represents sex, violence, and drug use.  All of which are not very christian.  I believe if i was religious that i would think these t-shirts are okay because i would just want to tell people about my faith.

2.  "And almost since its inception, Christians have seen it as a way to both show and propagate their faith."  This refutes Paul's arguement of shirts aren't the way to profese their religion but to mock the relilgion.

3.  If the shirts only had text i believe it would lose some backing that these religious shirts express and show faith.  Without the pictures i believe that the shirt becomes more sarcastic.

4.  i think the Black shirt is more religious and more meaningful due to the halo around the jesus.  the Halo is a very important symbol in eastern orthdox christianty, it was one of the major arguements between the eastern orthdox christians and roman catholics.  the face of the jesus also seems kind and the position of the hands are inviting and wam.  The other shirt is more casual religious, the jesus is more of a regular person compared to the other jesus which seems to be more of a religious figure.  The jesus on the white shirt is more of that cool guy that you hang out with sort of guy.  Its not a person you worship, it more of your good friend.  The font in the black shirt puts more umph on the Jesus and less on everything else making jesus a more respectable figure.  The style of the text of Jesus is more formal then the the remanding text as well.  The other shirt's text is very casual do to the red and cursive text.  But that just ads to the entire casual effect of the shirt itself which appeals more to the youth who wants only the fashion part of the religious t'shirt trend.
