Lindsey 0 #106 March 9, 2006 QuoteJust showing that they weren't necessarily religious people just because they went to that school. But if everyone wants to argue about SOMETHING... I guess we can try. That's true. I went to a small liberal arts college that was affiliated with the Methodist Church. There were, without a doubt, many more people there who weren't religious than who were. And, except for all the business majors, was a pretty liberal lot all-in-all. And it was my class that was responsible for Goat Roast being permanently prohibited as a college activity....DOH!-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.

Michele 1 #109 March 9, 2006 QuoteAfter 20 years of aiding his fellow Indians in South Africa, Gandhi returned to India and picked up the fight against British oppression. Instead of encouraging native born Indians to take up arms and force the British colonists out of their country, Gandhi created a policy of non-violent protest. "Non-violence, " he said, "is a weapon for the brave." For 20 years, non-violent protests, marches and strikes by the Indians wore down British resistance. Confronted by a slight man wearing only a plain cloth and accompanied by millions of followers armed not with weapons but love and truth, the British government in 1946 finally gave India its long-held dream of independence. The fight for India's freedom had been won without a battle having ever been fought. Sadly, two years after his great victory, Gandhi was shot and killed by an assassin's bullet. But Gandhi's legacy lived on after his death, showing the world that one can be a hero and accomplish great things without guns or swords or hatred. As Gandhi once said, "It is non-violence only when we love those that hate us. I know how difficult it is to follow this grand law of love, but are not all great and good things difficult to do? Love of the hater is the most difficult of all. But by the grace of God even this most difficult thing becomes easy to accomplish if we want to." Gee.

Still, it's interesting to note when people post other people's stuff claiming it to be their own. Sure, and lots of people do it. But you know what? It's still stealing copywritten material. Once published, it is the author's, and no-one elses. If it were an article in a paper or something, the copyright would be limited in both accredidation and use for education (which this forum could loosely be construed as). But to take someone else's words, from their website, and not state so is clearly a violation of copyright. And as you noted, it's interesting and telling when someone does that...clues me in on a bit of their ethical position. Will anyone do anything? Most likely not...but I still like to point it out when I notice it. I'd rather see critical thinking skills provided here without the need to steal others work...and frankly, I do expect things to be credited when used. This could've been an interesting discussion - i.e. Ghandi's position on non-violent protest, and the concepts behind it, and how Cindy Sheehan is, or is not., following them - but the discussion's not going to go that way...which is more the pity.
