I just noticed one of the people that sent me a friend request, basically took one of my discussions and reworded it. It was by complete accident I even saw it. Someone sent me a link to the discussion asking about something someone said and I saw the article and was like didn't I do that last week? Has this happened to you? What do you do? I thought it was a violation. I think since he reworded it, it would be okay wouldn't it. I didn't appreciate it, but I guess if you have to take from me you are really scraping the bottom of the barrel. LOL He must have been desperate and thought it would be okay. I guess that's why all these people send friend requests. They can see what you are doing and do it too? SPOOKY. Hey if I pick my nose will you guys?

I think that a lot of ppl come up with the same ideas...they just see it differently. I don't mind as long as they don't copy mine word for word. Besides there's a thousand different sides to any one topic. Think about smoking and how many different discussions you can make from that one topic. I like doing that...picking a general topic or interest and then thinking of all the different discussions I can...it's like a game. Maybe they are asking for your friendship b/c they think you are soooo smart for thinking up such great discussions LOL And no, I won't pick my nose...ewwww

Actually I've done simular discussions when I've caught someone cheating and no, I'm not going to copy yours LOL
I see a lot of ppl on here saying they can't think of discussions. It's not very hard, a person could just go through their interests and pick an interest and see how many different angles they can look at it. You'd be surprised at how easy it makes it.

Ah, gee. Does that mean you won't copy my thread in total? Sorry I was tired last night when I posted it and all I could think of was the saying of jumping off a bridge but that's way too popular now if you have bungi cords.LOL
I think that's a good way to look at making discussions. Think of the topic and divide it into different aspects.

Maybe that person wants to see whether you are still active, so he pokes and pokes and see whether you respond.
Even though there is nothing wrong to reword and starts a new discussion, it is generally done for older thread, and not for recent thread.
I mean when you search and see a similar discussion that was started three years ago, you might as well start a new one, instead of disturbing the one thread that is resting in peace.

ohhh! You know that's bad when they already have a sign on my article of resting in peace. I believe it even has a headstone. LOL Can't see what it says. Maybe - This was trash so do it again, You can have more responses and win!
Okay, I wasn't a cheerleader!LOL

haha, if mylot hires you, all the old discussions will have headstones, and ghosts haunting the cyber graveyards oh.
Anyway, relax, and happy posting. It's good to have more and more postings, so that someone replying to one discussion, can reply to ten other similar discussions and make more money.

LOL - no dear I won't pick my nose if you do but add a picture of it here and someone else may :(
I have had this happen in the past 1 person actually did it several times. I deleted them from my friends list and they didn't use any more of my 'material'... I guess some people just don't have an original thought :( I feel bad for them but not enough to supply their need.

You started your new paragraph and my brain didn't keep up. I am thinking about nose picking and you said 1 person actually did it several times. YUCK! I shouldn't be on the computer when I am tired. LOL
I wanted to let you know when you sent me those links to ask me about "something else", one of the links was a discussion I had just used. I thought that was hysterical. You wouldn't have noticed but I did.
You sent me to links in a pm and one of those links referred to it.

I have started a discussion and then seen almost the exact thing started by someone else though it has not happened for a while now. It's a little annoying but my discussions were not deleted and it is almost impossilbe to never duplicate a topic.

I guess it's not uncommon to see the same discussions come up. I looked at this guys history and he only has 20. It looks like he doesn't have any background at all so I guess his discussions have been deleted. What made me think he "stole" my discussion is that he asked for a friend request. I think the whole thing was weird.
