I love the fact that they eat each other alive. Psuedointellectualism meets a consequence free environment....oh, wait! Forget it, the universities already have that niche covered.

We are all innately evil... hence we are all sinners.

That's why there can never be the socialist "utopia" the liberals are always dreaming about.

God Bless

Her advisor: "I remember thinking she didn't have to do this. She was bright enough; her mechanics were good enough; her research skills were good enough. This wasn't necessary."

So...if she'd been less intelligent and skilled, it would have been necessary? Sounds to me like she isn't the only one with an ethical blind spot.

I disagree. Nothing is necessary in the absolute sense. So when we that something is necessary, we mean it is necessary in order to accomplish a certain goal. If a person can't write well and doesn't have research skills then it in order to write a good article it would be necessary to plagiarize, but that doesn't mean it's ok.

Before being banned from that cesspool, I got in on a thread about how Freepers were fixated on DU. They were carrying on about how we were in awe of their mighty intellect and wonderful gift of debunking every conservative turn.

I piped in and said that I thought the Freepers were more like the spectators at a demolition derby. There are a lot more spectators than there are drivers and the spectators are there just to see a wreck. And most of the drivers have had major head injuries at some point.

Name that tune:

Plagiarize
Let no else's work evade your eyes
Remember why the good Lord made your eyes
So don't shade your eyes
But plagiarize, plagiarize, plaaagiarize
But remember to call it always please
Research.

which she admitted committing plagiarism while working at the Abilene Christian University student newspaper, the Optimist.

So that's how they found her - she was President of the Joe Biden Fan Club!

Knowing what a brainiac Braun is, we should be worried, right?

No photos on either Google or Yahoo.

But there is a pic of Melody as a kid on her Web site:

http://www.townsel-communications.com

Click on the "The Brain Trust" link.

Perhaps she looks like the cartoon on the front page of her site?

And her's a pic of the other Bolton accuser, Lynne Finney, on her Web site:

http://www.lynnefinney.com/about.htm

(Notice both of them have ditsy flying icons and bright colors on their sites?)

Which also explains why she's such a favorite of Biden's.


That was my thought, too. Something about birds of a feather...or some such.

Regarding DU?***It's all very atomistic, almost as if everyone who posts there believes that he is the center of the universe ***


You got it!!!

You say, "If a person can't write well and doesn't have research skills...to write a good article it would be necessary to plagiarize." Sorry, I don't think so. You study harder, ask for help to achieve your goal. You never have to plagiarize. The goal is not to turn in better work than you're capable of, by hook or crook. It's to deliver your best effort.

And whatever your definition of the goal, the advisor was clearly implying that if she couldn't turn in excellent work, she'd have to do something dishonest, and that's just not so.

"Carol Mosley Braun just called Bolton a "bigot" because he is critical of the U.N., where there are all types of people."

More like all types of corrupt hypocrites. Rwanda, sex slaves and oil for food, anyone?
