To anybody out there yelling "cheaters, punish them now!", think about it. If you attended a Univeristy or place of higher education you most likely cheated during your tenure there too. Any time you asked your friend for their answers for an assignment, or the answers to a test they took earlier in the day, borrowed a paper, used an unauthorized cheat sheet, or in today's age used your book for an online test when you weren't supposed to, you cheated and could have been kicked out of school.I never did any of that. Ever. Sounds to me like someone who wants to rationalize his own history of cheating.
Hear, hear! Sounds like the “I wouldn’t trust anybody who DIDN’T use drugs during college” Bravo Sierra the libs have been handing out for 25 years. Heaven forbid we all get along on our own merit...
Exactly.
I saw examples of this being taken for granted, but was always too stubborn and proud (arrogant?) to participate myself.
BTW, a culture of cheating is even more ubiquitous in much of the third world. 10 years ago 3000 Indian law students rioted when stopped from cheating. They demanded a return to “normal” procedures.

I never did any of that when I was in school. Never. I'd have rather flunked on my own than passed by cheating. I certainly hope this is not the new standard in this country!
Not only that but the person is saying “Before you condemn the armed bank robber, recall you once took a dollar out of the tip jar so you could afford that 6-pack...”
