Why is copying wrong?
Copying is ok, but what you're doing is plagiarism. It's regarded as wrong because it's a form of lying and also theft. This has been explained to you so you don't have the right to plead ignorance. It shouldn't really need explaining, in fact, since you're the one with the superior moral code and you're trying to play the honest xtian card, despite propagating the words of liars. We're the evil heathens, yet you're the one engaging in theft and dishonesty, and claiming not to understand why it's wrong.

Quote:Plagiarism is not allowed. We consider plagiarism to be the act of posting another person's words and trying to pass them off as original, or failing to properly cite their source. Academic integrity is important to many of the members here, and it is only fair to give credit where it is due. When members quote from a source other than themselves, they should use citations, links, and names / references where possible.
