We have to slowly give them democracy or they will reject it. Also, I bet the USSR was saying almost the exact same thing as you 60 years ago.

Yep...that has always been the Bush=Hitler policy...according to the MSM.....Keith Oberman told me so...

Haaaaa...Haaaaaaa...

I don't know what the point of your remark was since you said the exact same thing.

My point is that the people are not in power. maybe its semantics, but we can't force a democracy on them we can only give them the power to choose whatever form of Gov't they want to have. They certainly didn't choose what they have had.

I'm going to be recycling some of the stuff I used in this thread on an essay I have to write in class in a few days about Social Contracts and Current Events and stuff like that, so I'm just stating that I'm the writer of all that stuff and such so I can argue that I wasnt plagarising anyone but myself.

Don't you dare Ibram - Use us all as interviewees and then reference us at the end -
can you say "bonus points?"

Ibby · 01-24-2007, 01:05 AM

Nah, its an in-class essay on social contracts for a class that doesnt REALLY encourage out of the box thinking as much as it should.

Define and / or example a social contract.

And don't fret, Ibram; the idea that one can plagiarize oneself is complete bullshit. Anyone accusing you of it is full of something that makes the roses grow -- and check the color of his eyes.

Clodfobble · 01-24-2007, 09:51 PM

I think he's more concerned about proving it is in fact himself he's plagiarizing--I mean, in theory he could plagiarize, say, something Elspode said, and when he got caught say, "No no, see, I'm Elspode!" and they may or may not believe him. By mentioning his paper he's establishing beforehand that "Ibram" is in fact "John Doe the student in Taiwan's" alias.

Urbane Guerrilla · 01-25-2007, 02:24 AM

By definition, one cannot plagiarize oneself, but one may repeat oneself... even ad infinitum.

Ibby · 01-25-2007, 07:28 AM

Yes, but UG, Clodfobble's right. I've already told my teacher and all and hes cool with it, but I'm just establishing that those ARE my words, and therefore NOT plagiarism.

Which was what I was saying, too.

Ibby · 01-26-2007, 03:28 AM

Yes, but you being YOU, I had to argue.
