    I'll be the ice breaker, I paid 52k in taxes last year. Not including property tax.

    You paid more in taxes than I made last year and I'm happy. So why all the complaining and ranting here. Sheesh!
    Exactly!
    Be thankful to be one of the most fortunate people on the planet instead of wigging out about losing what you never needed.
    No doubt. Holy crap, $52K paid in taxes? Assuming that wasn't because you hadn't paid your taxes for many years and they're just coming after you for them now, lol (and I hope that isn't the case because that could be life-ruining), you are probably the most wealthy person here and don't need more money.
    This is ignorance and class warfare.

    I did reply. It was dumb.

    What is dumb about the post?
    Is it false?
    I have a Communications degree with a focus on publishing, a professional certificate in editing and publishing, and I am the operations coordinator for a small university press, and I can tell you that that isn't plagiarism (not that I need any of those credentials to know that). I think you must know that perfectly well too and are just having fun trolling again. I suspect that the article you posted was meant facetiously actually, though you never know these days. Someone in this world might actually think it had a point, lol.
    So is it false or not that she lifted paragraphs from another author without giving credit?
    It is false. You're not being serious, are you?
    The speechwriter offered her resignation...it was plagiarized.
    I'm talking about Michelle Obama guys.

    Do you know what PJFan is referring to? He didn't even post it here. He's trying to say that Obama plagiarized her 2008 speech because it happens to duplicate 4 words or something from a book. We're talking about what you posted in the "are you concerned" thread, right PJFan?? If not, then we are talking about two different things.

    Are you speaking about Melania's speech? I believe PJS was referring to Michelle's '08 speech being plagiarized from a book paragraph.

    Oh, yeah Glen, if you're talking about Melania's speech, that was most definitely plagiarism, lol, and I'm surprised that the speech writer had to offer her resignation. She should have just been fired.

    Trump didn't accept the resignation, which is ironic considering the phrase he is famous for.

    You mean she offered her resignation and Trump didn't accept it? As in he wants her to keep writing speeches for him?? What the fuck?

    She will be, but this isn't the same as someone being careless with email security in the course of doing her job. A speech writer who plagiarizes a speech is a whole different ball game. That is very specifically and purposefully cheating at the ONLY thing she is paid to do.

    This is all fine and dandy.
    Do you agree that Michelle Obama plagiarized parts of her speech?

    I already answered you. I don't understand what you are doing right now. Do you think you're being funny, or are you trying to make some kind of point?

    I don't know wtf either one of you are talking about.

    Anyway, now there is the question of whether or not the cheating speech writer even exists. :lol:https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/07/20/who-is-meredith-mciver-the-trump-staffer-who-took-the-fall-for-melanias-speech/#comments
