I've noticed in College core classes, they teach English in such a way as to inspire quoting and sourcing.
If we use more than 20% of our space to quote, then we are considered to be plagiarizing the author(s). But by proxy, when we quote, are we not importing an idea, be it supporting or otherwise, isn't this idea shared?
If someone came up with it first, is it their or everyone's? I've always had a passive thought that if I don't want someone to use it, or say it, then I shouldn't make it available. And I've lived in the relative cone-of-silence for many years as a result.
It is your duty to reply with quotations!
For the purposes of humor, consider this: If you can express your opinion with someone else's opinion, do you even have an opinion!?
I was taught to quote, but most things i see are plagiarized.

I read somewhere that 90% of the internet is plagiarized; I decline to sight my source though. :P
what country doesn't?

Personally i think quoting and plagiarizing really only limits the creativity of your opinions. If you include someone elses opinion into your own paper or research i think your still expressing your opinion. You would be expressing that you agree with the attached opinion, which in itself is still an opinion. However by simplying agreeing with someone elses thoughts you take away your own chance to broaden the subject with your experiences and your creativity.
the illuminati (control-hungry rich people), have designed our school systems to be what they want.
they want us to use OTHER PEOPLE as our sources,
because that reduces our mental independance.
and makes us dependant on an other.
it makes us use anything BUT OUR OWN ABILITY.
the illuminati want us to be dependant on "others", as much as possible.
that way, we pay to have their economic rat-race produce things that we need.
like furniture.
and food.
instead of us making those things for ourselves.
which the illuminati cannot control.
and thus cannot profit off of.
or make to fit with their global domination pipe-dream.
to pay for these things that we SHOULD be producing locally for ourselves,
we have to run their rat race, to get a slave wage.
again, the illuminati control how we run our rat race, to get a slave wage.
they make sure we run the rat race in such a way,
that we have no time, energy, or focus left,
to do anything other than be good little peons.
every person is THEIR OWN BEST SOURCE.
there is no such thing as a source,
that is more "valid", than the persons own best judgement !
because every individual person, decides under their own power, what reality is !
if you make yourself dependant on someone else to tell you what reality is,
than you are asking for the most power-hungry fools of society,
to TELL you what their power-hungry desire for reality is.
because the most power hungry fools,
will be the ones most interested in telling you what their power hungry fool reality is.
and they will yell what they want reality to be, the loudest.
if you want to shut the illuminati up permanently, than speak what you think reality is.
and INSIST that everyone around you speak what THEY think reality is.
yet at the same time, NEVER accept someone else's "reality",
unless YOU fully agree with them.
don't accept reality from a text book,
just because the text book presumes to be a source of authority.
investigate all the information and possibilities, BEFORE you make a decision.
and after you have made a decision, keep your decision FLEXIBLE.
so that you can modify/improve your decision later,
when BETTER information appears.
and an improved decision is possible.
