Plagiarism (Redux)
A few months ago I mentioned plagiarism as an accidental phenomenon. The problem is that once in a while, it's a deliberate one.
I've tracked quite a few instances of students all round the world borrowing whole sentences and paragraphs from this blog for their TOK essays. Hey, if you want to cite my posts, go ahead. But don't use them without attribution, get hauled up for plagiarism, and suffer nasty consequences. Your teachers and professors can use Google too, you know.

lol. we had a good laugh over it among ourselves.
haha, maybe lauahpek's author has the initials o.t.c.
Speaking of plagiarism, is there a law on plagiarism on behaviour?
I just watched inglourious basterds. The SS colonel reminded me a lot like you (his demeanour, NOT his morals :)).. or was it the other way round? ;)
haha just an observation
No that's covered under 'fair use' or 'fair comment' laws, in most jurisdictions. It's called 'parody'.
Or satire. Oh dear. Colonel Hans Landa does behave a bit like the author of this blog, now that you mention it... That's a bingo!
