oh so the same as America! hurrah for the internetz and copy & paste.
-.-

I don't know about you but if I would copy and paste a paper I'd get kicked out of school.

[sociologique]

Lots of people still do it, though :\ There was at least one in my department this past semester. The worst part is that people can usually get away with the first one and argue their way out of the second (at least at the college level).

The power of the institution, yeah~!

Ohhhhhhhhhh yeah! IA. I remember in freakin' Junior High, the teachers would constantly tell us that if they were to find us even copying one sentence from a source (that is, unless you proper quote it), they'd throw out your paper. Really, Jpn. students got balls that I'll never have! I wouldn't dare copy and paste ANYTHING that I'd have to turn in as a grade for fear of getting my ass kicked out of school!

ugh i had to use turnitin for the last year of high school it was so annoying.

i would die if i had to use it for college. there were so many ways to trick the system and cheat anyway it's useless imo.

Eh. I'm not worried. Japan will figure out a way to circumvent the laziness of students. Because, it's Japan.

Also, awesome Kame/Yamapi icon. Sorry.. I'm obsessed. keke

Sorry.. I'm obsessed.

Don't be sorry, I'm obsessed as well <33333
Awesome icon is awesome and Shuuji to Akira are just meant to be.

[hyungwhore]

^^ Awesome icon is indeed awesome. <3333
Seriously, the first time I saw Akira fly down the stairs and pounce onto Shuuji's shoulder, I knew it was love.

This. Haha. I always learned that as long as you edited into your own words then it was fine to take the contents of any page or book. Am I wrong?
