The Students Who Feel They Have the Right To Cheat
ub3r n3u7r4l1st writes with this story of endemic cheating in Indian Universities and the students who see it as a right. "Students are often keen to exercise their rights but recently there has been an interesting twist - some in India are talking about their right to cheat in university exams. 'It is our democratic right!' a thin, addled-looking man named Pratap Singh once said to me as he stood, chai in hand, outside his university in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh. 'Cheating is our birthright.' Corruption in the university exam system is common in this part of India. The rich can bribe their way to examination success. There's even a whole subset of the youth population who are brokers between desperate students and avaricious administrators. Then there's another class of student altogether, who are so well known locally - so renowned for their political links - invigilators dare not touch them. I've heard that these local thugs sometimes leave daggers on their desk in the exam hall. It's a sign to invigilators: 'Leave me alone... or else.' So if those with money or political influence can cheat, poorer students ask, why shouldn't they?"
Just hit my two score birthday, so perhaps its the age talking, but MAN are kids today idiots.
"Have you ever thought about just turning off the TV, sitting down with your kids, and hitting them?"
I am from India. I know what I'm talking about. But for a few good schools like IIT, IIM, IISc, AIIMS, NITs etc rest of what passes for college education in India is nothing more than rote-memorization and regurgitation. Both the Physics Nobel laureates of Indian origin (Raman and Chandrasekhar) are alumna of the University of Madras. Today, that univ does not have a single math prof capable of correcting an answers in a Real Analysis examination. The syllabus specifically says, "Real Analysis, with theorems and proofs as stated in the book Real Analysis by Apostal". You deviate from the proof given in that book, the professors are incapable of checking whether it is right or wrong. It is a disgrace to call it a university.
sed -e 's/Chuck Norris/Rajnikant/g' joke > fact
That's an urban legend.
So its racist to point out what actually happened in the past with regards to slavery? politically correct much? Are your history books doubleplusgood and blame every bad thing in history on WASP penis holders?
And News Flash, the slave boats? yeah the crews never even had to step off the boat as BLACK SLAVERS had thousands lined up and ready to go before they even pulled into the harbor...after they were done raping and pillaging of course. There is even evidence that ebonics is based on the pigeon English picked up by black slavers to allow them to trade with the white boats.Ironically if you want to buy slaves in bulk in 2014 just as you did in 1814? You can go to the black Muslim slave traders in Africa and buy black slaves by the truckload. Now just as then it comes down to tribal bullshit but as we saw with those 5000 schoolgirls they are rolling like its 1799 over there, even raping and pillaging just as they did then if the reports are accurate.
Whether you choose to accept history or not doesn't change the fact that southern slavery would have not been able to function without the hard work and dedication of black slavers in providing product, 200 white guys wandering around in the African jungle looking for slaves would last about as long as a Christian street preacher would last in Mecca today.
ACs don't waste your time replying, your posts are never seen by me.
