"We didn't consider it cheating - we considered it being efficient."

The mission statement of corporations across America.

Strive for respect instead of attention. It lasts longer.

Well then I guess every college student I ever knew suffers from lack of character because they all did it. Seriously, if you are taking a full schedule of classes, it is almost impossible to do all the reading they expect plus just about every class requires a written research paper. Back in the day before computers that was a daunting task, and almost impossible to achieve researching and writting all those papers. So, kids who needed money and who were good writters did them and sold them to other kids. Apparently, if they think they have developed a software to detect it this wis still being done. We didn't consider it cheating - we considered it being efficient.

Well, I wouldn't want a doctor or nurse attending to my health care needs who cheated on their class work and bought their papers for a class. First of all, that's unethical and second of all it speaks to someone with no conscience.

It's an epidemic.

I agree. That is something my Dad always said. If you want to get something done, give it to someone who is busy.

I agree with that statement generally. My busiest friends seem to be the first to volunteer should someone need help, and they tend to be way more reliable.

I think the busier we are the happier we are. However, when we are busy the time seems to fly by and that isn't necessarily a good thing as we get older.
