Comment on a comment 1

The comment, "Blog Stage 7",  ,http://davetherep.blogspot.com/ contains several interesting topics. It starts to introduce the reader to a group, called "Black Lives Matter", which fight for the african community. Then it talks about Hilary Clinton and her point of view to civil rights and it ends with Donald Trump´s view on diversity.

These topics go well together and in the end I figured what the overall comment was about, diverse political community in Unites States, but I wished that the comment would immediately make it clear to the reader, what the overall topic was about.

A little introduction would have been helpful, or a good title. The facts, that are stated in this comment are well researched, but it would have been helpful to have some quotes to back up these examples.

This comment seems more like a gathering of examples, but it lacks of keeping the main point in focus.

But, the examples are helpful for the reader to understand what is going on in this comment. Also, a well organisation of this article might help to improve it. In the past, I lacked of that in my comments too. This blog of one of my colleagues helped me out a lot. His comments are well written and organised and an interesting read. http://replyusgov.blogspot.com/

Comment on College for all Act

This topic that Brenda is writing about,http://brendaelizabeth25.blogspot.com/ is really important for the young american                  

 I am coming from a country where you don’t have to pay College Tuition. But, the most American people, that I meet here, that are in their 20ties, and are in completely debt. A lot of young people can’t pay for College and take out student loans. When they are finally ready to graduate, they are happy for a very short period, because it is payback time. And, usually the pay back amount is tremendous.

That’s why I agree with this comment, which talks about Bernie Sanders and the “College for all act”. Of course, Bernie tries to get as many young voters that he can get right now for the election in 2016 but I agree with Brenda that College should be free in the United States.

 Brenda talks about two jobs that she has during the day time and this is hardly enough to pay living expenses. On top of this, she comments that she has to pay student loans, which is hard to do. And, she is not the only one, doing this. But, without a good education, the job search is limited. That’s why Bernie has a point. Free education would be a good idea.

I honestly think, that it is not possible for America to have a free education system, but to loan out until the dead end, is not an option either and leads into a society that is anxious about paying back the government. Colleges should get paid, but in a moderate amount. 

And what about the gun law?

A horrible shooting in California occurred, and again, politicians dispute about a stricter, federal gun law. Gun laws, regulate the sale and possession of a gun. But, in every state that law varies. Some states conceal carry permits, and some others don’t. All dependent on state-by-state basis. Especially Texas, is pretty facile on this topic. Texas, one of forty four states has a provision in its state constitution that is similar to the Second Amendment of the Constitution. And, this protects the right to keep and bear arms.

                Governor Daniel P. Mallow, remarked this week in the New York Times, that he would sign an executive order that would put people on federal terrorism watch list, if they buy firearms in the state. Connecticut would be the first state with restrictions like that. Does it make sense?   

  

 Probably, but it would not prevent a shooting in schools. What the state needs to do in the future, is to be stricter on how a person possesses and gets a gun. There has to be some kind of permit and course for a person before and during the time, he or she owns a gun. In Germany, where I am from, it is almost unable to possess a gun. You have to obtain a long time permit to own a gun and furthermore, the laws are very strict on guns in general.

                I don’t expect that from the United States, but after all these horrifying shootings isn’t there a time for a federal change?
