Can you beleive it!
Sarah palin is stupid, and fox news sucks. John Stewart is Funny, and so is John Mc Cain. I once talked to a republican about Barack Obama and they were so shallow, and close minded, but I really think I got through to him. Also there was this one time I was with my gay friend Donny and somebody yelled "faggot" and Donny was like, "So what if I am?" and then I gave him a high five! It was so cool to be all like open about my support of gay rights, but then Donny winked at me. So I told him I had to go to a prochoice rally. He said that was cool, but he seemed a little disappointed. I also think it's soooo cool that because I voted for Barack Obama I can prove that I'm down with black people! It was so easy and I'm so happy I could help.
Sorry I can't write more, I have school, 3 kids, church, volunteer work, and 3 jobs. I decided it was more important for me to cut and paste so that other peoples can reads what I reads, than have someone who has the time and is passionate about educating the kossacks.

Plagiarism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
For other uses, see Plagiarism (disambiguation).
Plagiarism, as defined in the 1995 Random House Compact Unabridged Dictionary, is the
"use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work."[1]
Within academia, plagiarism by students, professors, or researchers is considered academic dishonesty or academic fraud and offenders are subject to academic censure, up to and including expulsion. In journalism, plagiarism is considered a breach of journalistic ethics, and reporters caught plagiarizing typically face disciplinary measures ranging from suspension to termination of employment. Some individuals caught plagiarizing in academic or journalistic contexts claim that they plagiarized unintentionally, by failing to include quotations or give the appropriate citation. While plagiarism in scholarship and journalism has a centuries-old history, the development of the Internet, where articles appear as electronic text, has made the physical act of copying the work of others much easier.
Plagiarism is not the same as copyright infringement. While both terms may apply to a particular act, they are different transgressions. Copyright infringement is a violation of the rights of a copyright holder, when material protected by copyright is used without consent. On the other hand, plagiarism is concerned with the unearned increment to the plagiarizing author's reputation that is achieved through false claims of authorship.

Online plagiarism
Content scraping is a phenomenon of copy and pasting material from
Internet websites
, affecting both established sites [9] and blogs[10]
Free online tools are becoming available to help identify plagiarism, [11] and there is a range of approaches that attempt to limit online copying, such as disabling right clicking and placing warning banners regarding copyrights on web pages. Instances of plagiarism that involve copyright violation may be addressed by the rightful content owners sending a DMCA removal notice to the offending site-owner, or to the ISP that is hosting the offending site.
Plagiarism is not only the mere copying of text, but also the presentation of another's ideas as one's own, regardless of the specific words or constructs used to express that idea. In contrast, many so-called plagiarism detection services can only detect blatant word-for-word copies of text.
Indiana University said this:
If a writer wants to use visual information from a WWW site, many of the same rules apply. Copying visual information or graphics from a WWW site (or from a printed source) is very similar to quoting information, and the source of the visual information or graphic must be cited. These rules also apply to other uses of textual or visual information from WWW sites; for example, if a student is constructing a web page as a class project, and copies graphics or visual information from other sites, she must also provide information about the source of this information. In this case, it might be a good idea to obtain permission from the WWW site’s owner before using the graphics.

*Update* Thanks guys! If I have time I'll try to write some more material, but I'll probably just keep writing meaningless updates about myself and how I am. Thanks again! You're all so great- to me.
