I don't know how other people feel about this, but when I see posts that are copy-pasted from here and there by members, it rubs me the wrong way; big time. No offense, but it's like reading a newspaper. I'm here to read what real people have to say. Not second hand news. I know where to go to get up to the minute news. Not here, please. Originality and creativity is worth a thousand words!

Everything is original when it first comes out .....some things are worth sharing and shouldn't be altered. Doesn't make them any less valuable or unimportant. What gets me is when they don't give a note to say its not original to them.

Some of the things shared, are not from the everyday news ..... so to me, variety is the spice of life. P.S. My original words were used in the creating of this original post! laugh

Life is too short to be peeved about the small stuff. comfort

I tend to agree with you, copy/paste is Ok if it has to do with facts, with a speech or giving someone else's opinion and it's a big plus if one can mention where the info was found. thumbs up

To copy or copy/paste someone else's opinion to me is not really giving your opinion even if you agree with what was stated by the person being copied. If someone wants to give his/her opinion it has to be his/her own words.

In my case people doing such things doesn't peeve me, now someone who touches my computer screen to point out or show me something or who suddenly picks up my mouse and starts using it on my computer when I ask for help does annoy me but then that's me and yes I can live with it. grin

Pet Peeve ... Living in Quebec being told that I will only fit in if I become French and stop being who and what I am. I'm not going to be everyone's cup of tea.

No doubt. Was really just joking about the Go Green thread. No offense. laugh Yes, at times Quebecois can seem a little prejudice for sure. Not all but enough to inact things like the french only sign laws etc. comfort Could see it being tough living there at times.

If I had an original thought or idea, I would copy paste it right here______ However, to quote Kristofferson, Oh yeah, this is not the place to quote someone else. To quote me... What in Hell Was I Thinking?hug

Me too ... some think it's their right to do it loudly to announce they are around. (Guess they do not realize how stupid they look)

My pet peeve is people who don't keep their word. I invited a female friend to a stage production and she agreed to go. Weeks before the production she asked me a few times when the show was and I gave her the time and date. Again I asked her if she was serious, she said yes, and I bought a couple of expensive tickets. The week of the performance I asked her again and she hesitatively said she was tired and not sure if she could make it. Fortunately, I have another female friend who went with me, but the one who didn't keep her word is now seen in a different light. People who don't keep their word get no respect from me.very mad
