Washington & Lee to remove Confederate Flag

[SuwaneeTim820]

I did. But you know that.

Care to elaborate?

Depends.

How many?

One sentence. Just went back and checked.

How many sentences?

It would have been more than a single sentence stating a historical fact. See my post on Obama winning Florida in the 2012 election. Is that plagiarism? Didn't think so.

[awesome guy]

In what sense is a fact (the percentage of the vote Obama won) someone else's?

Feel free to offer a rebuttal.

That's absurd. "In 2012, Obama won Florida with 50.01% of the vote" can not possibly be considered plagiarism. But if you DO think it can, then I think you're nutty.

Not that you have a tendency to answer questions, but I'll humor you.
Without the benefit of context, I'd say that by the strictest of standards, that could possibly be considered plagiarism in that you'd be presumably presenting someone else's work as your own.

When you use someone else's words to state it.

So you agree with me that a statement of historical fact is not necessarily plagiarism. And we simply disagree on the sentence in question. That's fine. Glad you are at least honest enough to acknowledge that. It appears I can't say the same for Marine.

This point going forward, I think it best we just assume all your posts are borrowed from John Stewart.

False. When you use someone else's words (as you did), it is plagiarism.

Ehh, that's Jon Stewart. He's lost his fastball the past few years.

Incorrect. It was a one sentence statement of historical fact. That's not plagiarism.
