Default Re: why does our community make cheating acceptable

first of all, he didnt kill anyone, so a little less serious. I mean, are you going to jail for like with no parole for robbing a convenience store? Nope. Just a "slap on the wrist" and some jail time. Was Sammy Sosa (i think sosa) banned from baseball after he broke his corked bat (illegal, could be presumed as cheating)? ...no

Also, if you want to post something radical or very controversial and expect to be listened to or even not banned, you should probably gain some respect in the forums first. This a community just like a school or workplace, and the "new guy" cant come in and change all the polocies (btw).

Haha... I think I did more of other people's HW than my own throughout HS and college (22) - I just have some part of me that refuses to do anything I'm supposed to

I tried the whole "do just enough to graduate" in college after starting off with a near 4.0 GPA and slowly declining to the point where I got booted from my Uni in my last semester with 2 gen-eds left to graduate... Awesome! Apparently my idea of "just enough" wasn't good enough

Lol... Yeah I don't even know what my actual GPA was in HS because our school did it on a 100 point scale and basically made it look like everyone had better grades than they did (prep), but it'd probably be similar.

Remarkably, my college GPA was still above a 3 after being kicked out, for some reason they think taking less than the required number of hours, not going to classes, and writing "I don't know" on my final exams wasn't good enough for them... [censored], I'll get them back at some point...



Completely off-topic - but I like how we've derailed the thread - is there anything planned for a MTTc meet-up or anything at WSOP in June or July?
