  1. If you cheat on a test it means that you lack the required knowledge/skill and you don't deserve an A.

  2. Naime L The test doesn't test general cleverness. It tests knowledge in a very specific field and that field is not the ability to cheat. "exploiting the flaws in a given system" is all it is. If you pass a test only by cheating you later still won't be able to do something that requires the tested knowledge.

  3. Naime L That's beside the point.

  4. Naime L Two wrongs don't make a right. That student still doesn't deserve an A.

  5. Naime L Well, the question here was if that student deserves an A. If the student doesn't have to knowledge they don't deserve an A.

  6. Naime L WTF? The reason why you think that cheating is ok is because schools are mandatory? Maybe you don't know it but that's a good thing. It doesn't matter wheter this tests are optional or not. I don't know how much they will remember at your public schools but I do know that cheating is only making that worse because you can't remember something you've never learnt. Being unhappy with the system doesn't justify cheating.

  7. Naime L "Why should we accept authoritarian standards over those of libertarian?" What do you mean by that? Why exactly do you think that cheating is not bad? Is it only because the test is mandatory? What about tests you chose to take? Is cheating OK there? Generally speaking, are there circumstances in which you think cheating is not OK?

  8. This is not an argument for belief. Belief is much worse when it comes to doing bad things. If somebody acts irrational and solely on belief and does something bad you can't convince them that what they did is bad.

  9. That's wrong. Some people are open to the possibility that they are wrong and can change their mind.
