You're Stupid! no, not YOU... that other person

someone copied my answer in a group discussion for one of my online college courses. seriously! it was monday, there was only one question posted, i was the first to answer. later i checked back to see if there were any other responses that i could comment on to get my participation credit. there was only one other response to the question. i thought i had accidentally clicked on my own response. then i thought that i had made a few untypical grammatical errors. (not that my grammar is perfect, but i have a basic grasp of the english language) i then realized that someone had copied and pasted my answer and then changed just a couple of words in each sentence to try and give the appearance it was their own work. bad grammar aside, it was my answer exactly.

people are stupid!


there was only ONE question posted. there was only ONE answer posted. and they thought they could copy that one answer and nobody would notice?!? sort of gives a whole new definition to the word stupid.

it is not even like it was a question that had a specific answer. it was more of an opinion based question. it was asking for a personal choice between five options and explanation on why you chose those particular options. i may not have the most original mind, but i doubt this other person had the exact same thoughts i did.


i know you probably don't care about this but it just really pissed me off and i had to rant a bit about it.
i do actually have real issues going on in life that i should be sorting through. i am really concerned about Hub acting out soon. by the way... i totally hate the phrase "acting out"! it doesn't even begin to cover the severity of the offense. children act out when they pitch temper tantrums. lying, cheating, douchebag husbands commit sinful acts of adultery, and horrible betrayal of trusts. see? doesn't that seem way more fitting than "acting out"?
ah well, that is a post for later
