I'm pretty much convinced that most people who get to high places scam their way to the top at least some of the time, assuming they aren't sleeping their way up or part of some strange perverted sex rituals as so many people seem to be. Humans pretty much let their animal instincts overrule their better judgement at least 50% of the time. Self gratification, pleasure, and personal gain drive most behavior.

It's not even really that good or bad, it's just the way it is. It's why religion was created in the first place... with religion gone, our base instincts are allowed to fly free...

This is only a sin when Republicans do it. When Democrats to it (Joe Biden, MLK) it gets no big deal.

This is the definition of hypocrisy.

So much of this went on at UT-Austin. I think I am probably the first person to graduate from there without cheating or copying a paper.

Insulting voters? That's your strategy?

Can you explain how this is going to help you get those voters back voting for democrats?

My brother is a PHD. His thesis is still classified by the US Government. He would tell you there isn't a PHD out there who didn't borrow from others.

He's a professor at the top physics and mathematics university in the world. And he voted for Trump. He actually wore his Trump T-shirt and Make America Great Hat to class one day and looked for the ones in his class who were offended. I can only imagine the class got much tougher for the ones he identified.
