Neither are you, that link doesnt work for me, I can see the home page but not the 'essay' you claim you wrote.

According to the word count on the site he provided, what he posted here is the entire article. It's only about one, double-spaced typed page long.

The problem is, there is absolutely nothing he can do to prove he wrote it. All that site knows is that he told them he wrote it. He still could have got it off another site or even cribed it from a school friend. Short of watching him sit down and type it (assuming he didn't read and memorize something before hand) there's no way to prove he wrote anything.


But, Lucas, (excuse an abrupt change in direction) you brought it on yourself. The doubt is a direct effect from your lying and plagerism. You can't wave a magic wand and make it all go away. It's going to be there for a very long time. You have to learn to deal with the repercussions of your actions. And your hostile, angry responses aren't helping your cause any. Just take it as feedback that you still have a lot of work to do. Also, please realize, some people you will never gain back. That's how life works. Deal.


I am willing to believe you actually wrote the piece, because your writing has three characteristics which are in evidence in that article.

1) Indecisiveness/Trying to cover all the bases. A lot of your writing never really says anything because you won't take a position. In some instances, such as this one, it manifests itself as trying to cover all the bases.

2) Pseudo-formal wordiness. You write like you think good writing should sound, rather than having a grasp of what it actually sounds like. A lot of your writing is meaningless filler such as "When faced with such options, it behooves us to consider...." It says nothing. Cutting it would only make the text clearer and stronger.

3) A lack of "depth of thought" (which is my nice way of not saying "shallow thinking"). You're typing whatever pops into your head at the moment without applying critical thought to it. (At least it comes off that way.)

"The child also needs access to a bathroom. Also, their learning area or area's need to be adequately sanitary; also, they need to feel comfortable in the areas, so the climate should be neither too hot nor too cold."

It sounds like you were typing, then the bathroom occurred to you, so you threw that in, then the "learning area," yeah that's good, put that in too. But it appears you never go back and really consider the implications of what you've written. If you did, the text would be greatly expanded as you took such further thought into account.

Basically, it's so poorly written and sloppily conceived, that, yes, I can believe you wrote it.

The only thing that would give me pause is your even mentioning Abraham Maslow. I imagine that objection away by thinking this must have been a class assignment. Maslow's hierarchy of needs came up in some class and you were required to write a paper relating the hierarchy to the classroom. That would explain it. (But of course, that's my little delusion of how you arrived there.) I could see that "essay" as your hurriedly dashed off assignment, which you then used as the price of admission to the cheat site. (I'm surprised they accepted it -- despite their protestations, quantity over quality seems to be their modus operandi.)

Sure thing, Lucas, just remember, you asked for it, so no crying when it hurts.

You have mail, LW.

Lucas, you're doing it again. Defending yourself. You always, always manage to piss people off around here. Why is that? I don't think that you can say it's 'us' anymore; I think that the time has come when you have to look to yourself.

Oh, and btw 'securing' a job is a totally different thing than applying for one.

Assuming that you did write it...

ask yourself, would people be accusing you of plagiarism now if you hadn't uploaded it to a site that makes bank on plagiarism? Your argument seems to be that there is some moral difference between a cheater and the person who provides him with the paper?

Which is a load of crap, frankly. Face it, had Little Whip not been able to type a line of your article in a search engine and immediately find that paper at a waste-of-skin cheat site, then we wouldn't be here discussing this.

If you don't like the taint of plagiarism on everything you do, I suggest you stop embracing such as a valid practice.

but my point was he wonders why the taint of plagiarism follows him around, and ignores the fact that he takes active part in sites that promote and profit from it. If your name occurs on cheathouse.com, don't be surprised when people look at your work dubiously.

I'm tired of trying to prove i am being honest,

Perhaps if you were better at doing it and didn't get caught lying so often this would not be an issue?

I'm doing my part.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!

I about wet my pants laughing at that.

Once again, the mighty Doctor Bailey insists that it's the rest of the world that's got a problem, not himself. 

Lucas, if you were trying, why are people so pissed off at you?  Seeing as you can't figure it out, I'll tell you.  You're an attention whore.  You lie, you plagarize, you spam....and it's all to get attention.  Even bad attention is better than none to you.  As long as we're here, as long as your name is on our lips - even if we are cussing you out - you're happy.

You insist that you're going to BE someone someday.....I'm here to tell you that if you keep on the way you've been going, you aint gonna amount to shit.  Nothing.  You won't even have any friends, because nobody will be able to stomach your narcissism.

You can SAY that you're trying all you damn well want to....saying it does NOT equal doing it.  Until you stop plagarizing, until you stop lying, until you stop spamming, until you stop making crazy claims that you're going to be this or that or the other.....until you do those things you're not trying.

You can fool some of the people some of the time, Lucas....but you can't fool me.

Bite me.

Like LW said, Lucas.....I can do that, but don't complain when it hurts.

-Oy, digging up the past... Let me clarify something for you Karen.

1) I am not an attention whore. You ask anyone, and i mean anyone who knows me, and they will tell you that your full of it. As i have told you once, twice, and many times...

2) I lied about who i was because i was stupid. I admitted it both times, once on my own initiative. Since the time i admitted(2nd time), i have not lied. Period.

3) I did plagerize those few papers, i got a rightful ass kicking. I said i wouldn't do it again. And i haven't. LW never posted a link to PROVE i plagerised that fucking article. So, perhaps she's incorrect? I doubt it, people seem to be mystified by her. She's not always right.

4) Pertaining to the last idiotic and non-thinking act of posting those quzzes, They're gone, off of the forums. I know that i screwed up. I admitted it, and i told you why.

5) Yeah, I am going to be something. I'm going to be better than you. I told you that i really wanted to change, that i would do whats needed, I slipped up yeah, but i admitted and was fine with the consequences. I wrote myself a note, to remind myself, that items like those quizzes, to post them all at once, or not at all. I moved on, i've worked on changing. You haven't.

6) You are full of it. What you claim to see as narcism isn't narcism, what is it? I don't know. But, you are incorrect.

Even bad attention is better than none to you.

Ehh, wrong answer, but thanks for playing. Thats the whole point of me fighting you, defending my reputation, trying to re-build, i don't like negative attentions. But be damned if i am going to let it be known that i am something i am not. How would you feel if you screwed up and tried to earn back respect, etc... But the others (IYO) don't want to, that they refused. Hmm?

until you stop making crazy claims that you're going to be this or that or the other

--What is wrong with dreaming? Whats wrong with trying to be something better? Is it that you went down the path of "being yourself", according to others, and that you never acheived your dreams? Thats what i think.


--Amazingly, with every ignorant, and asinine comment being made, i'm losing respect for a few people here. They don't accept that, gee, they could be wrong. Never thought i would.

1) I am not an attention whore.

Yes, you are.  Sometimes an addict can't see that they're an addict...just like you can't see that you're an attention whore.

 

I admitted it both times, once on my own initiative.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAAH!  No, you didn't.  You were cornered.  You said that you told the truth, but you didn't.  You lied.  Twice.

I'm going to be better than you.

You can think that all you want to, dear.  Doesn't make it true.  I KNOW that there are MILLIONS of people who are better than me, because, I, unlike you, am grounded.  I live in reality, not some dream world where I am queen of everything, have multiple degrees, have written best-selling novels and will be a famous actress because I got one part as an extra.

What you claim to see as narcism isn't narcism, what is it? I don't know. But, you are incorrect.

It's narcissism, and I'm right.  My my Lucas, how EVER will you be a famous author if you can't spell?

How would you feel if you screwed up and tried to earn back respect, etc... But the others (IYO) don't want to, that they refused. Hmm?

I'd leave.  I know where I'm not wanted, Lucas.  You obviously don't.

 

What is wrong with dreaming? Whats wrong with trying to be something better? Is it that you went down the path of "being yourself", according to others, and that you never acheived your dreams? Thats what i think.

Nothing wrong with either of those things, but dude.....you're dreaming things that simply aren't going to come true.  You're so out of touch with reality.....it's unreal.  Like how you told me that you had 'secured' a job....when in fact you hadn't secured it, you'd just enquired about it.  That's the kind of shit I'm talking about.  You exaggerate and embellish, you make up things and you lie.

 

 

That was really, really dumb, Lucas, quite possibly the dumbest thing you've done to date.Not to worry, though, as much as I dislike you I truly mean you no harm.For anyone else with the same idea, it's too late, that password (which also happened to be his password to EVERYTHING else) has already been changed for his own protection.

-Thank you. You saved my butt, when i lost my head...

Oh, and next time you feel like saying "bite me"....I'd suggest you bite your tongue. I didn't HAVE to contact you with your new passwords, dude, I coulda gone porning on your pay-pal account.

-True enough, but i didn't reply with 'bite me', i replied with a reubuttal to other comments, never once did i intend to say that at that time... thats one of the things i was going to bring up to brad or karma...

Again, thank you...

That was really, really dumb, Lucas, quite possibly the dumbest thing you've done to date.

Heck yes it was. Do you realize how badly you could've been screwed?

I was referring to the one to dharma.... the other one...yes, it was uncalled for... I've had bad experiences with people who are "hard asses" So i tend to be...an asshole right back... not one of my better qualities, but, i'm changing it... (my attitude, etc...)

Yes, yes. The best thing to do is give this person a constant stream of attention. That will make sure he understands that the silliness won't get him what he wants...

oh, wait...

Lucas is going to behave himself from now on, arent you, Lucas?

Ruh!? Ohh, ok....

I had a little talk with his mom today, and told her what I had done and how it occurred, and that's the only reason I re-opened this thread.

-Talk.... Yeah...

-Don't worry...I'm not heading that way again...

LW, as i said in the (9/30/05) Post, i "snappped" back into reality...its been sorta like things have been "hazy", not listening, etc... I honestly don't know why...its unlike me...but, i know damn well it won't happen again. Have been talking with my counselor(my brain's on hibernate at the moment ) and he believes that i have, according to what i've told him (and yes, i have been truthful and thorough, even told him about what's happened here at JU, without naming names) , he thinks that i've been suffering from clinical depression... ...anyway, he also said that (in his opinion) my temper/anger,etc... (in how i acted/reacted here) has to do with the unfinished ('closed', or whatever it's called) relationship with my first stepfather, that i absorbed everything which caused me to "blow my top", irrationally and erratically... that i've never confronted him, to finalize things... Thats what he said...


-Anyway, how has your past few days been? Have been reading the articles concerning Gideons problem...i wish him the best... Ain't easy dealing with the CPS, or so i've heard...
