Cheating. . . My First Rant!


>>>As I said I'm gonna post my two blogs in Friendster, and one of them is me bashing my classmates, some of them actually. It's all about that cheating crap that my friend Romeo has as a topic for a stand paper in Logic. He stated in his defense that he despises cheaters and that cheating is immoral. One of my classmates, quite taken aback and insulted, stood and started stating personal questions and indirect insults that were really out of the topic. And it ended up to be one of the best (in what I called the 'cheap list') catfight I've ever seen!


"All was said and done and I'm really not in the mood to restate what happened during the first day of defense in Logic. But here's the thing. Just because a person prefers do do things differently from the way we usually do, doesn't mean that we should go all over him and attack him personally. True, the paper was presented in very personal and somewhat insulting manner, but that's the way it is. It's a "stand paper" for crying out loud. Meaning, its something that the guy truly believe is right. And just because its a defense, doesn't mean that we can go saying unintelligent things against the person and ask whatever questions we want. There are ways, rational ways, to prove our side other than going overboard, embarrassing and turning people against the person. It's a shame that we have have reach this group age and still we can't meet someone at a professional level.

I'm not siding with someone nor provoking anyone. I'm also not saying that I don't cheat cause' I do cheat. But please, to say that cheating is right?? Even a six-year old child knows it's not. I do cheat because I am conscious about my grades and my understanding about the subject is sometimes not enough. But that's it. I'm not going to use such reason to justify the act. Cause it never will be. Cheating will always be wrong."
