Colleges and Universities can and do expel current students if they are found guilty of plagiarism. It also could recommend that the students who have already graduated lose their diplomas.

I doubt that Biden will be the nominee in 2016, but I think he would make a good president. If someone like Howard Dean seriously tries to get the nomination, I think it will be his for the taking. I'm talking about over Hillary or Biden. A lot of progressives are not looking for another president like Obama or Clinton, they want a real liberal in there for a change. Personally, I don't want to vote for anyone who even utters the phrase "negotiate with the Republicans in Congress." I think there are enough people out there like me who could sway the primaries in a whole different direction than the news media wants them to go.boards of FL wrote:Mental midget? Republicans can't even seem to offer a candidate that can simply talk. Go look at the poll numbers for the last republican primary. Each candidate spiked and then plummeted when they had to begin speaking.
Either one of them would be a better president than any one of the candidates that tried to run on the Republican ticket last time around.
Both of them are more intelligent men than the people that post on this forum. Dean actually had some very creative and new ideas about how to fix the problems we have in this country last time he ran, and except for the news media crucifying him over one stupid yell in front of his own supporters, he'd probably have been elected POTUS in '04. He could have saved this country from the world of misery that Bush led us all into.
As for Biden and his term paper, that was years ago and he isn't the first college kid to buy or borrow a term paper because he didn't want to bother to write one. Term papers are pains in the butt and there are people on college campuses who write them professionally for students to buy. It's gone on since there have been colleges in existence. Nobody is sentenced to hell over plagiarism on a college paper, FYI. I wouldn't question Joe Biden's IQ. I guarantee you it's as high or higher than Ronald Reagan's was.
I find it interesting some unscrupulous individuals, like a parent who takes on line classes and tests for their kid, does not see anything wrong with cheating. Cheating and deception are amoral characteristics that follow you throughout life. It defines who you really are.
Biden was no young kid when he plagiarized. He was in law school.
Well Neko, how the hell was he suppose to get out of law school? LOL!
