My Sympathies go out to Scotland.

Well Absynthe - maybe they are telling us it is only plagarism if it is done by someone from the pinko left? The rules are perhaps different and the playing field not level?

As much as I hesitate to cast aspersions, you may be on to something there... do you really think it's possible that sauce for the goosesteppers may not be sauce for those who gander at them?

LOL - nice touche

So are you saying that using someone else's words and then adding your own makes it yours? [/QB][/QUOTE]10,000 + 1 does not equal 10,000 it equals 10,001. Given that is math and not grammer I can understand the inability to grasp the concept.

Absy, we are not talking about a term paper, news paper article, book or any other thing where money or other tangible item is on the line. We are talking about the free exchange of ideas in a conversation. As I have stated before, and I couldn't help but notice your inability to even address, along with answering the questions I have asked, but what the "Hale" to each their own.

Where did you get that from? Where have I ever writen that a pinko lefty was plagarising anything? You can't find it, it doesn't exsist, there are no rules differences.

Agian I bring up that I have seen the word integrity thrown around, I guess we're fix'n to find out if'n them doing the throwning know what it means.

[/QB][/QUOTE]So are you saying that as long as there are no tangible benefits, using other peoples words and ideas without giving credit is acceptable? Would you have an issue with someone quoting your posts, adding whatever they felt like, and posting it as their own?
It seems your definition of plagiarism is at odds with the rest of the world.
It would be much easier to address your points if you could put two coherent sentences in a row. Or maybe I'm just having difficulty making sense of your folksy patois.

No problem here if people do or don't give me credit, in fact I like people copying or using what I have said. Aslong as they are copying the end product, they are not creating, if they are not creating they are no competition to me. The best they can do is shoot at where I was and not at where I am.

Interesting, you seemed to address the point of tangible benefits, while attempting to degrade by, that asscertion of coherent sentences, and folksy 'rit'n. If'n them thar sentences was so discombobulated,how exactly did the figure'n and cipher'n take place that alowed for a resonse? But hey you can always dismiss it cause I'm fix'n to blantly Pla'gerize,
You testify against yourself. You can find for yerself who'n I pla'gerized.

Edited to put folksy ' in pla'gerized, dadgum rented fingers.

The second paragraph didn't fare so well. Did you have a point in there, or are you intentionally offering comic relief this time?

Decide for yerself, makes no matter to me. 'Sides if'n I was to let you in on it, thar'd go the fun, quicker then poop through a goosestepper.

I think we may have it all wrong Absynthe. I don't think we have grasped that laws are not made to contain the conservatives of the world to the moral norm. If they want to plagarise or start a war it don't have to be legal.

Example 1 :

There's weapons of mass destruction over there and we can't have them getting into the hands of terrorists. We have to invade.

Oh sorry - we betterchange our story. OK world - no WOMD but the people are liberated - long live freedom.

Example 2 :

Hmm - OJ, there are things in this article that show another classic knobbling by the beurocratic EU. Let's take this article, add a dash of invective, twist this, distort that, now top with a generous sprinkle of obscenity and I have a classic original looking blog for all my like minded friends to wet themselves laughing over.

Sorry - the truth got bent outa shape and I palgarised like hell - but my friends still like me and I got a laugh.

It looks like almost anything is defendable Absynthe - even in the face of laws and truth.

Hmm - iff'n it looks like poop and it smells like poop ima bettin messieur JD itsa gunna be poop.
