    plagiarism

    "accusations of plagiarism"

    Finding it off the internet isn't stealing or passing as our own jokes unless we say I created this joke. Even if it did count it would still be impossible to cite who first said the joke. Even if we SOMEHOW make a joke no one has said before , im sure someone has said before.

    If I was to copy an article written on Zara Nelsova by the woman herself then said I wrote it. It would be plagiarism. Basically 9 times outta 10 if its not copyrighted its not really plagiarized.

    So I should Cite a joke thats on hundred of different websites. I guess every single person whose posted a joke anywhere or written anything even the words your reading now is wrong since they haven't cited it. Call me an idiot, but stealing music lyrics and pasting them as my own is one thing but a joke off the internet? I must be the biggest idiot then anytime i've ever written anything as such. I'll remember to cite EVERYTHING since apparently NO MATTER how SMALL and COMMON even if its a JOKE.(My sarcasm is horrible._.)

    I got a joke just created ^^(I'm sure some one has said before)
