I figure that folks that don’t grade papers probably get tired of hearing the dumb things that students write. I think it is much like when I worked tech support, people really got bored listening to us tech support weenies jibber-jabber about someone who used their CDR as a cup tray.
And though you may get tired of it, I’m going to post at least one anyway. Why? Because I need to vent on the stupidity of what people will say. Its kind of a “kids says the darndest things” except they are adults and should know better.

1. “However, people also see murder as a great lack of help.” - honestly, I’m not sure what this person is trying to say. It seems obvious but too obvious. ‘A great lack of help’? I don’t even know how you screw this up with the thesaurus.

2. “Beauchamp gives an example of a patient that Dr. Kevorkian performed euthanasia upon. His patient name was Adkins.” - I like this one, its kind of like poetry; “his patient name was Adkins” It makes me wonder what his impatient name was, probably Hudspeth.

3. “[Many recent decisions in law have in some situations said that to assist someone in dying is not manslaughter.] While still considered to unconstitutional many have been of the opinion that it is a justifiable desire.” - I decided to be fair and put this statement in context but even still it cracks me up.

4. “That may led to a percentage of religious people staying out of medical so they don’t have to endure going through euthanasia” - I bet religious people would hate having to endure euthanasia. Damn those atheists for enjoying euthanasia so much!

5. “Helping some through the act of euthanasia, the person who helps needs to be educated, which a doctor would be considered educated.” - after reading this a bunch, I am beginning to get what the student was trying to say but it sure sounds funny to say that ‘through the act of euthanasia a person needs to be educated’

6. “This can not be denied, and it goes along with my previous example of the young colored student not being able to study in his schools library.” - grammatically, this isn’t so bad (which is relative at this point) but the fact that the student actually refers to a “colored” student boggles my mind.

Ah, the joys of grading. You know you are jealous, admit it.
