I've been out for a while. Did some catching up today.

Leafing through pages of posts in the threads, I've noticed alot of really unorigional thinking.

On the political threads, many cut and paste articles and essays without giving credit where credit is due. (the sources)

One that stuck out was the Lyrics to a song by "Clutch", where the poster was complimented on their words, and rather than saying, "oh, it's a song by a band." That user said "Thank you."

What's wrong with having an origional thought. Are we destined to be sheep?

jaw drop

Missed that..... but, yes, it is widely accepted that credits/acknowledgements are made for quotes/lyrics, etc that are not the poster's own.

And, yes, I agree... we need some more originality. I think some are too busy at the moment having yet another punch-up...!! doh

Good one, Goose!! thumbs up

I SO want to pull up the song lyrics and expose the user, but that's not how I roll, and I know he/she has already looked at the thread, and I know he/she knows I'm on to them.

Kinda goes along with my "fake people" thread a few days ago when I went on my rant.

Just to say so, I had posted a few things, and in my excitement of wanting to get it on I had forgot to add who had actually wrote them, it was brought to my attention an I went back and added where it all had come from. It was an accident, mine was not intended for anyone to think I wrote it. I mention it here so that anyone who had not gone back to see that I did add the references will know there on there now.
Besides it would stupid for me to even try to imply that it was my writing, my spelling sucks and typing is just as bad. I would never be able to pull that off.

Good observation goose. I noticed that also recently and i even made a well-intended comment about it.

When someone is giving out something that isnt his own writing, he should always mention the source so we - the curious sort - may go there and chack it ourselves. thumbs up

Ah, goosey up to his old tricks, I see.

I never took credit for the "Clutch" lyrics (Song "Never Be Moved" from the CD Robot Hive Exodus/2005, ), by the way..just said thank you because somebody liked it.

Also put up lyrics from "Whole Lotta Rosie" by AC/DC..you missed that one, didn't ya?
