Chinese University Copies Cornell's website

<p>Hahah I just thought this was funny and wanted to share it:</p>

<p>Jinan</a> University</p>

<p>compare to</p>

<p>Cornell</a> University</p>

<p>The article where I found it:
Jinan</a> University: The Cornell of Bootlegs > china, Cornell, jinan university, plagiarism | IvyGate</p>

<p>Hahah I've seen that! Quite funny.</p>

<p>Reminds me of this one:</p>

<p>"Israeli Candidate Borrows a (Web) Page From Obama"</p>

<p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/15/world/middleeast/15bibi.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/15/world/middleeast/15bibi.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>lol....they're creative!</p>

<p>Hahaha, the Chinese.</p>

<p>wow. original!</p>

<p>To paraphrase a famous Indian businessman--no country that censors the Internet is going to win any awards for creativity anytime soon....</p>

<p>I wonder what the punishment for Plagiarism is at that Chinese university?</p>

<p>They cut off your left hand =O</p>

<p>Lol</p>

<p>+++++++</p>

<p>^you guys are definitely not gonna get into Cornell from the looks of ur posts</p>

<p>Oops. I forgot admissions officers browse these forums and investigate who we are in real life. Thanks Journey..</p>

<p>Journey, committing social gauche in estimating the abilities of website designers from a country that does censor the internet (I'll admit it though, I did lol at "cut off your left hand"), doesn't make someone unable to get into Cornell .</p>

<p>Journey, you are a laughable moron for thinking a comment on an online message board would stop someone from getting into college, but humor me, what is it we said that will cause Cornell Adcoms to tear our applications to shreds?</p>

<p>stargazer - They
(isn't it weird how we use a third person plural when we don't know the gender of a third person? Like, shouldn't there be something indeterminate instead of he/she? Same thing happens with his/hers and theirs? Lol. That's always bugged me.)</p>

<p>probably got annoyed when people said "the Chinese" to criticize the specific persons who copied the website (it is a generalization), and the joke about cutting off people's hands (Which is an actual punishment for several offenses in many countries that practice Sharia Law, incidentally).</p>

<p>W/e, it doesn't matter.</p>

<p>thanks. Yes, isn't it ridiculous we referred to the people who run a Chinese university as Chinese? And cutting off a hand thing was a joke...and my grandma came to this country from a nation in which Sharia law is the norm, and I know people get their hands cut off, but you have to be ridiculous to get offended at that.</p>

<p>I have to agree with you, political correctness conditions people to be needlessly touchy. </p>

<p>I think they just assumed the "...the Chinese" was meant to mean "Chinese people in general suck big ones at web design".</p>

<p>chinese are experts at making copies.</p>

<p>Good lord, political correctness run amok.</p>

<p>@ collegehopefull, I don't think of the singular they as being an incorrect use of a plural pronoun, I think of it as just being a word that can be either singular or plural. Eventually it will be accepted as standard. After all, "you" wasn't always singular.</p>
