Plagiarism pisses me off. There was this kid in my class last year who got caught. The teacher wasn't as forgiving as you and called him out in front of the whole class. I'll be honest in saying my writing sucks, mostly because i don't put too much thought into it, but when i do try i do pretty decent. My AP english teacher made us look at 5 papers and grade them, it was painful. The thing was that they were papers from other AP students. I feel bad for professors and teachers, especially the standard and honors level teachers, grading those must be painful, especially having to grade easy on them. High school needs to be harder. It's supposed to prepare you for college, but the student has to go out of their way to do that. If the student were to not want to go to college to begin with and take those easy standard classes, then after high school, go take college classes, they are probably going to struggle because they didn't even learn those basic writing skills, and they're gonna suffer because high school didn't do what it needed to do. That's just what i think though, mostly because my older brother is struggling with these problems. lol, he's actually moving back in with us because he just lost everything... for the 3rd time... and he's only 24... He's lost and confused sadly. He doesn't know what he wants to do.

Social promotion is still alive and well in the USA. My HS was notoriously rigorous; at graduation, those students who'd flunked out were give "certificates of attendance" instead of diplomas, but only they and their families knew. Other high schools graduate people who are functionally illiterate. Some colleges practice open enrollment and will accept anyone who can afford to attend. My last teaching job was at such an institution. Despite the lower standards, grades at that junior college (or "technical college" as we say in SC) transferred to the research university across town, credit hour for credit hour. I, unlike most of my colleagues, taught my courses with same rigour as I had at the research university. This, for the most part, did not endear me to the students. The chair of the Humanities Department, my boss, accused me of "teaching at the graduate school level," simply because I expected my students to've read their assignments before they came to class. Unbelievable. That was expected of me in HS.
In GRADUATE SCHOOL AT YALE, I had a classmate who made me cringe the few times he ever opened his mouth, as he had obviously benefited from social promotion, both in HS AND AT A RESEARCH UNIVERSITY. Unf'ing believable. I don't recall whether or not he graduated from Yale (it's been 27 years now since then). There's a growing sense of entitlement among students that they have a right to a college degree, that they are simply consumers purchasing services from the schools and professors they happen to patronize. I obviously do not share that opinion. I flunked many a student, but I'm reasonably sure none of them were doing the assignments or paying attention in class. For students with college-level intelligence, I made it quite easy to pass with a C with a modest amount of work done for my courses. Those who failed either:
(1) lacked the preparation to be in college, i.e., had been socially promoted; and/or
(2) lacked the raw intelligence to do college-level work; and/or
(3) failed to make a good-faith effort to succeed in my class.
I could rant on, but I won't. :)
No...I do the code type thing right, for the first time in ever, but I forget an end parenthesis. Great first impression. (He said hoping his self-deprecating humor would be endearing.)

Have you guys taken the Google Doodle Earth Day quiz?
I'm a pangolin! The practical sort, you know just when to curl up into a ball to thwart predators.
I did, I used economic sanctions on them and them took over without combat, then annexed them. The nuke thing seemed kind of too much for me.
Don't sweat it--most of us make mistakes from time to time, except for Otis-T. ;)
Yes, i'm a perfect and superior being... at least i wish i was...

Solve the great questions of humanity?
E.g. What is the meaning of life? Do we have free will? What is 'good'? What makes us human? How does consciousness work? What happens after we die? How should society be organised?
That should keep you busy for at least a couple of years. ;)

My previous one was, but didn't work out.
they never do... or at least mine didn't.

If we don't, we should work on liberating Will.
Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women. Wait, that's what's best. I'm not sure what's good.
Humor.
I find being unconscious actually makes work much better or at least it makes the time pass more swiftly. .
After we die, we join the Skeleton Army.
Society should be organized alphabetically.
