We had a big problem with cheating in our program at grad school but it was mostly confined (and this sounds bad) to Chinese students.

Usually, they would cheat on the TOEFL or whatever the fuck...

that goes two ways tho, dude.[/QUOTE]

The fact that conversations can so reliably bring the same old arguments to the forefront every time is a great example of why they aren't worth having. You're all convinced you're right, and I'm...
