Exactly my point. You do not wait for someone to commend you about the posting before you reply that you copied it. You are supposed to cite the source at the moment you posted someone else's work. Even though you said you "copied it" in your comment, you failed to provide the source from which you copied it.

And you do not have to directly attribute someone else's work as yours to commit plagiarism. You commit plagiarism when you fail to give credit to work that was not yours.

Since you are most likely a product of Nigeria's failed educational system, you believe it is proper to copy jokes from someone else's website, post it on Nairaland, and fail to give attribution to the source as long as you don't state that it was your own work. That thinking is flawed, my brother, and in civilized societies you could be expelled from school and be guilty of the act plagiarism or, even more serious, copyright infringement.

Just take this as a learning experience and move on. This is because next time you post something, no one will know whether it was copied from another source or whether it was your own work product. There is a presumption that a literary work without citation is the work product of the person who wrote or posted it.

I wonder what your problem is. . .and i DONT care.
This thread was created in the jokes section. Now if you dont go to all the threads on the jokes section, and demand for the links to all the jokes there, you are a FOOL!
Jokers do not post the links to where they get the jokes from. . . You dont have to be dumb to understand that!

This, like all other jokes in the jokes section is COPIED! Go therefore and demand copyright for all the jokes on NL or remain a what? A FOOL!

it's amazing the kind of trash that makes its way to nairaland front page these days - this piece has been over the internet for the past five years, and somebody has just copied and pasted it today and it becomes front page material. The so called "moderators" should be more selective and discerning when making front page choices if they want this website to remain relevant

Man cool-down,

This is a joke on NET and not PHD thesis.

redsquare:

What's biting you mister? Abeg free the guy joor. Is the original work yours that you are accusing the guy of plagiarism? It is not a must to post on every thread. You even went ahead calling him a product of Nigerian failed educational system. You have exposed how silly you are. If you've got nothing meaningful to contribute, just f.cuk off. Mr 'Sabinus'.

Ur best response ever. Liking u more

English is as crazy as they come. English language defies logic as there is no specific rule for speaking English.

Princek12:

All you need to do is provide the link of the website from which the jokes were copied. Is that too hard? .

And sexkillz, you are a thief and the bigger fool. I bet all your lines and responses are copied from someone's website. With the mentality of the people above, I am now understanding why graduates of Nigerian universities cannot compete globally.

I bet that all of you are products of Nigeria's failed educational system. Your types of mentalities are why Nigeria is slow.--You don't see a big deal in plagiarism.

How hard is it to post the link to the source of your jokes.

When I read someone's jokes in the jokes section, I assume that they created it.

VIPICO:


Do I agree with the emboldened part? Nah! Crazy as the English language may seem, there are rules guiding its use.

^^^LMAO The above almost earned me some strokes of cane, many years ago, when I entered into an heated argument with my teacher. My conviction then was that if the comparative noun of long, short, young e.t.c should be by mere addition of "er" and "est" to them, good should be, good, gooder and goodest. .

English na wa o.
