Is the President attempting to indoctrinate children?

I urge everyone reading to look at the last few posts and tell me who
was the first to go negative with snide remarks?

^^It is the same way 99% of the time^^.

I never understood this 'thing' about posting links, sources, etc. If someone cites their 'source' to some ridiculous comment, does someone really think that beefs up the credibility of the ridiculous comment? This isn't school, no one needs to link or cite anything they post.

As for plagiarism...that comment is funny. Only claiming yourself as the author, or passing it off as your own thought, makes it plagiarism. There are probably about .002% of the population having original, first, 'virgin' thoughts. Chances are, if you thought it, so did about 500,000 other people, two weeks ago.

Gosh Jo...if something is on the internet...it must be true

You are exactly right. I am not writing a college paper or an article for a newspaper. If someone choses not to believe what I posted or that I wrote it or didn't write it ...doesn't mean a hill of beans.

I get tired of these czars who unilaterally establish rules that must be followed. If Karen tells me a rule - it is her website - she gets to make the rules. Other than that...whatever

I believe in giving credit when and where credit is due. By not giving credit or posting the source, people are plagiarising when simply cutting and pasting.

Am I the only one who read the speech? I probably am.

If this was the same speech that went with the original "lesson plan", why wasnt it released last week? Releasing it earlier would have been a much wiser thing to do then to let this all build up over the weekend. Ild like to see the speech, or layout, that went with the original lesson plan, [EDIT]but the transparency of this administration wont allow that.[/EDIT]

So if that poster jumps out of a plane without a parachute, are you going to follow suit?

As I told my kids when they were growing up, and am telling my grandson now:
If you encounter a person or persons harassing you and trying to start trouble by what they say - just ignore them. They want a response back so they can keep it going. If you ignore them, they'll eventually get tired of a one way fight and move on to someone or something else, and leave you alone. I'm sure that many here have told their kids basically the same thing. So why can't the same be applied to what is, or is not, posted here? All that worldly advise just goes out the window, and the war of words begins.

Idiotic!

And I am not calling any person idiotic - only the childish actions of some.
