    They were all aboard the Biden for president train (Clinton was that bad).

    So... plagiarism OK for their favored Democrat for the highest office, but not OK for someone they don't like in a lower office.

    Not that I care about this guy. If Trump wants to hire him, it's his administration and right to do so. If we, as a people, don't like his administration, vote him out.

    Naval Academy doesn't give Master's degrees. No graduate education there. Maybe Naval War College?

    Edit: Saw later in the thread that it was NPS. Makes more sense...more civilians go there. I, as a dirty reservist, cannot.

    And I've taken more than a couple of Master's courses, and at the beginning of each semester each class goes through a whole "this is plagiarizing and can get you kicked out. Don't do it." If the dude didn't properly annotate his quotations, it's plagiarism. There are literally books written on how to do so. And on the front page is usually some signature block that reads something like "This work is my own and I take full responsibility for any positions, errors, etc. in it blah blah legalese."

    Read the Chicago Manual of Style or Turabian's Guide to Writing Dissertations and Theses, then post your thesis.

    Wow! It never occurred to me to raise plagiarism to a high level of awareness. If you think something and express the thought, is it plagiarism when it has been expressed before? Or is intent to claim another's thought required?

    Well I accept your position. But what is it when there is no source other than the authors thought?

    It's clear that Clarke has killed the people he plagiarized from.

    I have no idea what the warrant was for, but it's not plagiarism. I haven't had time to look into this story, are there any clues to what the law was after?

    Yes, of course. Anytime you have a thought that someone else has thought before, even if it is just "I need to take a leak", it's plagiarism and you can go to jail for it - or worse!

    This made me laugh in english class when you submit your paper to a website designed to tell you how much of your paper is plagiarized. I wrote a completely fictional story from my brain that was said to be 6% plagiarized according to the website.
