well.. i had to face a similar situation a few days back. i was to write a report on nefarious aggression by noam chomsky.
i m a procrastinator, so even thou the assignment was given two months back, i started reading nefarious aggression just a day before the date of submission. as i went thru the context of the essay, i was dumbstuck as it was based on anti-americanism and gulf war and all related political shit. to make it worse, the essay was quite long, and i knew i would need to drain all my mental energy to complete at least half the essay. apparently, i didnt read the essay.
no guesses for wht i did after facing this situation. i decided to copy stuff abt the reviews of essay by various critics and put it in my report.
copying assignments from the internet (the world most famous source) has become common in everyone's life. and these search engines (google, altavista, yahoo) have made the job even more easier. thus arises the term 'plagiarism'.
Plagiarism, in case you didn't know, is a Latin word that means "too lazy to do my own writing." Plagiarism is considered unethical, dishonest, and just about the hottest hobby on the Internet. Students are notorious for plagiarizing research papers for their projects(atleast i dont do tht).
coming back to my situation.
i finish writing a report somehow after 3 hours of hardwork (copying the write stuff from the internet is not easy, for ur kind information). my friend, who also was supposed to submit the same assignment, came along with his report. when i read it, i was shocked to find tht he has used the same website to copy the material. and he copied ditto, without even changing the
format of source. atleast i ended up editing the material and put up summary in points so that i dont get busted by my professor.
when i submitted my report, the professor read it and praised for my hard work. hehe. i have become so good at plagiarizing reports. this has helped me finish the report on time, plus to get rid of the unnecessary tension of reading the whole essay.
now tell me, is plagiarising advantageous or not? hehehe

First of all, plagiarism is a crime. It is a violation of Intellectual Property Laws. It is immoral, unethical, and unprofessional. Yet all that seems to pale in comparison to the threat of failed grades. *shakes head* It's a personal choice.
meaning carajo is a criminal! hahaha...
Hahaha. It has a nice ring to it. *snickers*

Good job fubu...
Here's another thing our education system automatically makes us experts at!
plagairism is wrong don't ya think? while u are getting a nice good grade, what about those who truly worked for their grade? where's the fairness in that? oh well... i can't believe you got away with it!! truthfully, it's your choice to make.
ha ha ha
apparently, if everyone plagiarizes, does it imply its not a crime?
thts what happened.
no one prepared his own report.
so i guess, grades will b given according to who plagiarizes stuff better and put it in proper words.
i m good at it, so expecting a good grade. LOL
Ooopsie...i did something foolish a few years ago and then i swore never to plagiarise again
Plagiarism is not unethical!
"Your thoughts are not common only if no one else could think them."
It is inappropriate to honor someone as 'great thinker', 'genius', or 'born genius' until this statement is disproved!
If every genius in the world is unable to disprove this statement, Plagiarism is not unethical!
