Hypothetically

@dezrtfish:

If scientists discovered that a major planetary disaster was going to occur in… say… 60 years, and that the planet would be destroyed, what do you think would be the consequences?  Last night while I wasn’t sleeping this ran through my head, it was like a Sci-fi movie.  Everyone quit having babies and society collapsed, it actually seemed like a lot of fun. :evil:

Anyway what do you think?

Damn insomnia, I need to get some sleep!

I’d go to sleep.

Then start a sixty year drinking binge.

Somebody been watching Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood?

Here’s a hypothetical I was asked by a student today. (He was referring to his English paper, I teach Math, he thought I would be safer to approach I guess.)

He asked, and I’m paraphrasing here, if it was okay to purchase a paper from a paper mill (aka a company that writes papers for you and sells them to you) if, and here’s the catch, he only used that paper as a source for his own paper, putting the ideas into his own words.

It’s ok if he wants to get laughed at.  Why bother?  :lol:

that deserves some good karma allies_fly.  I didn’t think of Jenn’s statement like that until you said something.

The word plagiarism came to my mind and I found it ironic for a different reason.
