[Love Never Fails]

Hi Everyone. I haven't logged in since last Wed. It was getting too wild for me and I thought I might get in trouble posting. I haven't even read for the last two days.
I am glad you all are here to keep WS the place it has always been. We have always had different opinions. That is what makes it so great here. But, Wow, it sure has been interesting.
In the CA case we had some of this but those posters stopped posting pretty darn quick.
I hope it is better next week.
Thanks again for holding up the community. I will probably check out for now until Monday. I read but I know I will end up in "banned camp". If I don't.
Have a great weekend!!

Hi Charterhouse. It has been like a funny farm today! I almost got banned. The mod pulled my post on the sentencing thread. Lol. Some troll over there. See you Monday!!

 

[Love Never Fails]

Thanks
...I can always count on you to make me laugh!

No, I don't wish to log off, but my eyes could use that new iPhone 20.

Really Big Mean Dog Presents: SFS Juror #7 Guest Blog by BlueWhiteRed

"...BlueWhiteRed did their civic duty and sat on a DP Jury in 1994. Since I invited anyone interested to guest blog, they were kind enough to take me up on the offer and let us get a general idea of what a DP case is like from the inside...."

Yes or No, thanks for posting this. It is a good read. I never want to be a part of a jury, especially not a Death penalty. The guy who wrote the article was very honest and I sure do appreciate his service.

I am all for welcoming new ideas and different viewpoints but I have my limits. There are people still debating whether Laci Peterson was abducted by a stranger...I mean, how could an educated, decent looking man like Scott Peterson have committed a close-to-perfect murder? It must have been a creepy looking stranger! :thinking:

If it's raining and someone says 'No, I don't think it is' then there is only so much I can put up with before saying 'Yes, it is raining and that's a fact.' I don't have an endless supply of patience especially when dealing with murder and victims. The murder occurred in 2008. It's November 2014 now and we are in the SENTENCING phase. This is not a movie, a game, a television show. The defense lawyers have gone way beyond simply doing their best for their client. Regardless of whether one believes in a higher power or not surely it's easy to see that slandering a dead man is very cruel. I also believe that doing so will lead to not-so-pleasant consequences for the slanderers. 'It was my job' excuse doesn't work in the great scheme of things. We're answerable for the things we think, say and do. Period. 'What comes up must come down.' Karma. You reap what you sow. Allow the victim to rest in peace. Give the family support and help them find closure. It's the least we can do for them.

This is such a random question lol. But I just send in a paper to one of my professors.. On monday I will have to hand over a hard-copy of my work. I just noticed a huge mistake in my introduction. I say I'm going to talk about the tax systems in 3 Member States but I ended up not doing that all. It's like 3 sentences but it's something pretty big to miss (I was tired! I've had 3 papers to write AND work AND classes AND this trial AND I haven't been sleeping. I'm TIRED! I'm going nuts. My brain is all scrambed! Sigh, okay, back to what I saying..)

Should I..
a) Remove that part, print it out and hand it in without saying anything
b) Leave it in, but tell my professor what I did (He might think I was being messy and not paying attention)
c) Leave it in and say nothing
d) Print two copies, explain what happened (Be judged because of my mistake), and ask if he'll accept the correct version

Nali87...This happened to me a few years ago when I was doing my Masters. I would choose option 'd' myself. I think it's good to let the professor know that you acknowledge your mistake. Also, it's good to request him to accept the correct version. It's polite and proper.

At this point, considering how tired you are, I would consider changing the thesis sentence to match the essay, this is providing you've made a valid, cogent, and interesting argument in the body of the essay.

ETA: Oops, I just noticed you said you sent the paper in already. In that case, I would acknowledge my mistake, write what would have been a proper thesis sentence for this essay, and state that you've learned to proofread more from now on before submitting papers.

Go with d ! Correct the introduction and explain what happened. You are right in that it is a big deal.

I got the distinct impression after awhile that we were being dragged towards the rabbit hole. Thanks to the mods for extricating us, and my apologies to the board for unintentionally prolonging the process.

I would also pick (d) because your introduction paragraph is one of the most important parts of your paper- after all, it's your thesis and should be a clear assertion that you write your entire paper around. Your thesis is your main point, summed up in a few sentences that lets your professor know where you're going, and why. It's practically impossible to write a good essay without a clear thesis.

If the first paragraph doesn't match the rest of your paper, well, the whole paper, is sort of, worthless. Since that first paragraph is the main claim for the rest of your paper, just leaving the paper the way you first sent it will surely confuse the professor (at least it would confuse me because it will confuse the point and purpose of your paper).

If you leave it in and say nothing- well, I would think, if I was your professor, that you intended to leave it in and didn't realize your mistake. Not good and, again, a worthless paper.

Anyway, I think you know all this already. I'm sure your professor will accept the corrected version and will appreciate that you realized your mistake- hopefully with no judgement by him/her. Everyone makes mistakes; the main point is that you realized your mistake, IMO.

My son is doing his masters and is working on a 12 page paper this week (due this coming Thursday) and he won't even talk to me :facepalm: because he's "in the zone" and doesn't want to be distracted, which, I guess, is good. (He does take breaks tho' and that's when he talks to me. )

Good luck and let us know what happens. :seeya:

Did he end up accepting your version?

Yes. My subject was "The influence of the IFRS on the tax treatment of hedge accounting in the CCCTB". I was going to broaden it and include te influence of the IFRS on the tax treatment of hedge accounting in the tax systems of the EU Member States as well. But I decided against that because the paper was getting to be too long. So the thesis fits with 90% of the introduction. Except that last part. Grrrr. :tantrum:

Go with d ! Correct the introduction and explain what happened. You are right in that it is a big deal.

Yes. I will. The thing is, this professor is so strict.. But I guess it's time to put on my big girl pants and face my fear of him. Such a dumb mistake. :facepalm:


Thank you all for the input. You're all very kind to offer advice.

It is better to ignore the rabbit hole and just carry on as if it's not there, even if you are tempted to make your own point known, IMO.
