And you think that's working out for you, do you?
So, you've been to Iraq? You've witnessed the things upon which you expound daily? You're inside the CIA, the White House, the Congress? The New York Times? You talked the Ahmadenijad? You were there when Hamdi was plucked off the battlefield? You're in all these places and witnessing all these things?
Because, if you rely soley on your own thoughts, don't you think they'd better be informed thoughts? Do you just make up? I mean, if you rely on your own thoughts and you're not an insider on all the things you hold an opinion about, you're just making up. Right?
But if, like the rest of us, you form opinions based on information gleened from sources you trust -- that, hopefully, have access to sources in the know, then the debate isn't so much about putting your own thoughts down here in this forum but about whether or not you want to take the time to completely re-write an opinion with which you already agree.
No?
To me, this forum is about arguing ideas and not about whether or not I want to take the time to read analysis, agree with it and, then, re-write it so I can claim ownership.
If you want to now whose words I'm plagiaring, google a sentence, it'll usually turn up. I've not denied the practice. I choose to post it as an original writing -- as opposed to linking and quoting (although I do link sources of factual information and news sources upon which the opinion is based) -- because of the Nbadan factor.
He's cut and pased and linked so many damn articles, nobody really pays attention anymore. I think the ideas expressed in the subject matter I post is germane to the argument.
So sue me. You're still an idiot.
