    If you wrote about a passage in the Bible and quoted the passage, your item would be flagged for plagairism.  That is the problem with these idiotic checkers.   You would post something like;

    “In the Bible, Genesis 1 verse 29, says; (and you would quote it) “and then be charged with plagiarism by the mods here.

    • Whosoever was there as a real parent really had an unfortunate time in this whole incident. It is very wrong on the part of some to create hatred in the minds of the child for their parents to settle personal scores. Parents too should be aware that such things may happen and have to be in regular touch with the kids and see that they are not lost due to these kind of activities by other relatives. If the parents share a strong relationship with the children emotionally, physically and are there around for them when they need them. Such events will never take place. But in this case the relationship is lost forever. Thanks for the share.

      • It happens to many children who are used by another relative against their parents. It is very tragic.

    I often write factual items.  I don’t write ‘Fake News’.   If I touch a real topic, whether the Olympics in Brasil, whether Polio in various parts of the world, whether Obamacare; I do my RESEARCH.

    If I were to write about police murders since January 2017 I would go to more than one site to be sure that the number I have is accurate.    When I p…[Read more]

    kaylar wrote a new post, Beware of Writing Factual Items! 7 years, 8 months ago

    I often write hard core researched articles.  I don’t make it up as I go along.   When I am dealing with facts, that is things that really happened, I research.  If an incident happened on the 23rd of November 19 […]

    • As long as you give attribution to the source, there is nothing wrong with it.

      I usually do that also, citing some date or statistics but I state the source or cite the persons who said it. It is not plagiarism, like what you said in your post; it is merely giving credit where credit is due. It is not owning what other people had said,or what other people had studied or researched.

      • The problem of A.I., if not properly tweaked is that it can not tell the difference between a quote and plagairism.

        Hence if I write; President Barack Obama said, when running for President of the United States, “Yes We Can,” I would be flagged for plagiarism by an A.I. checker

    • Informative article to any newcomer or even someone who has been around for a few months. It is better to write fictional work or details which cover some subject which only we know and no one else would know. But it impedes the number of choices which are available to a writer. I saw your article of Rio Olympics and also the comments as to what was written. I found the article based on facts.

      Hence I appreciated the article. That is how an article should be if it is a subject like that if it uses data from source hence forth I will make it a point to quote the source so that my article will not be called plagiarized by the checker. For someone new this article is informative provided they read and know what happens when facts are given. I am thinking as to tackle this issue. One I wrote an article in the forum. Two I am responding to this article by you. I am checking what other options are there for writers safety. Thanks for the share.

      • If I was taking the information from the NY Times, I would have admitted it, but I took the information from three different sources, and combined them. I put it in my own words, but the problem is that I could not put how much money, how long, when, and what in different words. A stadium was built in the Amazon which was a waste of money. I could not change the place, or the fact it was neglected.

        A wiser and more astute Admin would appreciate I couldn’t change those facts or put them into my own words without destroying the substance. If I had written ‘a lot of money’ instead of 12 Billion, then the plag. detector would have passed. But the article would be worthless.

    • Politics apart any country has a responsibility towards the good health and the welfare of its citizens. It is the responsibility of the government of the day to see that they do not damage what structure is already there. It is better if they try to improve the system which exists. That should be the ideal goal of all politicians or parties around the world. If the people of the country are not in good health it affects the economy of the country directly and causes economic loses for the country as the country will not have good quality human resource which is healthy.

      Keeping this in view it is always better to have countries which provide a strong social welfare for its people. As government is of the people, for the people and by the people. This should be arrived at irrespective of the costs involved. As if people are unwell it will reflect badly on the image of the country and if it is told that if you do not have insurance you die in a country. It reflects very adversely on the image of the country too. Happy to see that a good caring scheme for the people continues.

    1- When will i get my payment?
    You will get your payment on every 10th of the upcoming month once you redeem. For example, you redeem your reward on 22nd of February, then you will receive your payment on 10th of March.

     

    This is what it says… but not in my experience… if you redeem the 22nd of Feb you are paid in April

    • i agree what pay they need, there is many lots of sites that offer free movies, shows and channels, so why to pay, i wish the payment is little, its too much also for a show or movie, so i agree and i once did in the past pay for such a thing, but now no way, the economy is too bad to pay even one dollar for them in one month. so get what you want to see or games online for free, and if not today free, in day it will be, just like many new movies online when its new hard to find site offer them free, but wait few days or week you will get the movie for free, thanks for the good tips

    • You’re watching from the outside. I’m observing from the inside and I’m happy to say I’m kind of glad Trump is POTUS. If Americans ever wanted to know if democracy is a form of government that can really work regardless of the people diversity, we’re going to find out!

      All that stuff they taught US in school? Those tests in school were just to see if we learned.

      The Trump presidency is the “real test” to see if we actually understand democratic principles and know how to make practical application to a real country!! Our country!!

      I’m loving this Trump administration. Watch the Americans rise! Yeah! 🙂

      To respond to Jon Stewart’s question” “What kind of country are we going to be … moving forward …?” We’ll see. 🙂 😀

      (NOTE: Really appreciate your LB posts. They’re inspiring. I’m not making sport of you. I’m very serious. You provoke my patriotic fervor and my sense of duty and you remind me to be proud to be an American.)

      • I understand you completely. You fully believe that the people, that the institutions in place, that the laws will protect you.

        I am telling you that Jamaicans have been rounded up and deported; many who have valid Visas. That Many Africans have been deported for the same reason. No one protests, no one knows. In some places they are stopping cars driven by Blacks to check papers.

        What is scary is that 200 people have been murdered by police and no one protest.

        I know there are people who are fighting for what are called American Values. I know some folks in California who are going for a Calexit.

        I have spoken to a chap who is a Jamaican/American and spent many years in the U.S. as well as here who also sees a positive spin; that Trump will inspire people to object to what he puts forward. He sees Trump as a test; and he believes that the backward/racist anti beliefs of Trump will be defeated.

        I’m not so positive.

    If every article is 15c, (the lowest rate) then each day one writes 7 items for $1.05.   Ten days is $10.50 and 30 days would be $31.50.

    If one writes longer articles, for 22c, then one writes 5 articles for $1.10 and in 10 days one has $11.00 and $33.00 in 30.

    I don’t know how anyone can write more than 7 items a day of any quality.
