Chuck Norris's tears can cure cancer...too bad Chuck Norris never cries.

The problem with people making up their own is that they usually suck balls.

Joe, chuck norris had these way before vin deasel. Besides, they are way cooler with chuck over anyone else because he is the lamest tv/movie star ever, but really good in real life.

[Zangief]

AND....

some of these so called "originals" that you guys are making are rip offs. You are taking established chuck norris facts and substituting your own phrases into them, thats called plagerism.

[Roggie]

It isn't plagarism if you change the words around, to put it in your own words. (was taught that in journalism class)

[Caesar]

That's called "spinning." Watch Bill O'Reilly.

Haha, and to an extent, Jeremy is right.
But it's better than copying an exact one, *JEREMY ahem*

[Zangief]

I am not claiming them on my own, that is the difference (I think yours was the only original one Ryan).

Actually Roggie, you are 100% incorrect, as usual. If you switch the words around, it is still plagiarism. Its all about the idea the original author was portraying. They pound this into you like non other when you take writing classes in college. You will be cool as long as you site your sources (in a paper for example). Take a look:

What is plagiarism?

Many people think of plagiarism as copying another's work, or borrowing someone else's original ideas. But terms like "copying" and "borrowing" can disguise the seriousness of the offense:

According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, to "plagiarize" means


1) to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own
2) to use (another's production) without crediting the source
3) to commit literary theft
4) to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source.


#'s 1 and 4 apply perfectly here

[Roggie]

I was taught by 4 english majors throughout school that Plagarism is an exact copy, if you put it in your own words (what I meant to say, not mix around) it is not plagarism. Putting in own words means removing or changing words. This is what I was taught. Say that's wrong, and I will doubt it extremely, as I am 100% sure I am right.

mine was an original one. i made it up. even though it sucked.

[Roggie]

Chuck Norris has such a large lung capacity, that if he takes a deep breath, he can suffocate the earth. (sucked, but original.)

[Zangief]

Well Roggie, take my word on it, your wrong. Do some internet research and see what you find.

From this article from Georgetown University:

I have captured all of the main ideas in his paragraph. Although I have used "my own" words, for example, substituting the idea of "pouring" into a city rather than "streaming" into it, and substituting the word "debasement" for "degradation," my argument tracks along with his. I am making the same argument. The fact that I changed some words and eliminated others does not mean that this is my own work.

Plagiarism at Indiana University

All of these support my argument. You cannot just change the words around. This is not a matter of opinion, you are indeed completely wrong in this case. Just like the whole traveling discussion.

[Zangief]

Brandon, your's is a complete rip off of "Some people are hung like horses, but horses or hung like chuck norris". You just substituted paintbal for horses, which is plagerism.

However, I will not fault you in this case if you claim to have not seen that one (although thats unlikely).

[Zangief]

And one more thing Roggie. I contend that you misinterpreted these "english majors", or just did not understand what they meant. I find it hard to believe they got it wrong, and if they did, I feel sad for them and everyone they have been teaching.
