Who has a program to flood religious Q's with impersonal answers?

Question

It is weird that some people cut and copy massive text files as a form of speading the WORD.
Seems lazy and downright deceptive.
What I want know is, How can I spit out some ridiculously long and convoluted answer without working to hard?

This Q of course is rhetorical.
If I really wanted to know,I would have searched myself.
All my answers are handpicked.
And anything I refer to I physically looked up.
Also, If someone does copy and paste they legally have to show the source.
NOT DOING SO VIOLATES US COPYRIGHT LAWS>

Cut and paste
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page is about computer text editing. For rheological properties of pastes such as toothpaste or putty, see Paste (rheology).

Windows keys for cut and pasting: Control + x (cut), Control + c (copy), Control + v (paste)

In human-computer interaction, cut and paste or copy and paste is a user interface paradigm for transferring text, data, files or objects from a source to a destination. Most ubiquitous is the ability to cut and paste sections of plain text. This paradigm is closely associated with graphical user interfaces that use pointing devices.

The term cut and paste derives from the traditional practice in manuscript editing in which paragraphs were literally cut from a page with scissors and physically pasted onto another page. This was standard practice as late as the 1960s. Editing scissors with blades long enough to cut an 8-1/2"-wide page were available at stationery stores. The advent of photocopiers made the practice easier and more flexible.

The cut-and-paste paradigm was widely popularized by Apple in the Lisa (1981) and Macintosh (1984) operating systems and applications. It was mapped to a key combination consisting of a special control key held down while typing the letters X (for cut), C (for copy), and V (for paste). These key combinations were later adopted by Microsoft in Windows. Common User Architecture (in Windows and OS/2) also uses combinations of the Insert, Del, Shift and Control keys. Some environments allow cutting and pasting with a computer mouse (by drag and drop, for example).

Performing cut and pastes

Cut and paste are very frequently performed operations. It is customary to provide several methods for performing them, such as a key combination, a pulldown menu, and a toolbar button.

1. The text to be moved is selected by some method, typically by dragging over the text with the pointing device.
2. A cut operation is performed by key combination, menu, or other means.
3. The visible effect of the cut is to remove the text immediately from its location.
4. Conceptually, the text has been moved to a location often called the clipboard. The clipboard is typically invisible. On most systems there is only one location in the clipboard, hence another cut operation overwrites the previously stored information. Multiple clipboard entries are provided by many UNIX text editors and some Windows clipboard manager programs that are available over the Internet.
5. A location for insertion is selected by some method, typically by clicking at the desired insertion point.
6. A paste operation is performed which visibly inserts the clipboard text at the insertion point.
7. The paste operation is nondestructive; the text remains in the clipboard and additional copies can be inserted at other points.

Whereas cut and paste is usually done with a mouse on Windows-like environment, it may also sometimes be done entirely from the keyboard, especially in UNIX text editors, such as pico or vi. The most common kind of cutting and pasting without a mouse involves the entire current line, but it may also involve text after the cursor until the end of the line and other more sophisticated operations.

When cut and paste are provided, a nondestructive operation called copy is usually provided as well; copy places a copy of the selected text in the clipboard without removing it from its original location.

The clipboard is usually not displayed, because the operations of cutting and pasting, while actually independent, are usually performed in quick succession, and the user (usually) needs no assistance in understanding the operation or maintaining mental context.

Sometimes, if a section of text is cut and a different section of text is cut after it, the first section of text will be cut out of existence, with no way to retrieve it. This only applies to cut and paste programs that can only hold one thing on the clipboard. This is usually not a problem for clipboards that can hold multiple cuts.

Copy and paste

Copy-and-paste refers to the popular, simple method of reproducing text or other data from a source to a destination, which is only different from cut and paste in that the original source text or data is not deleted or removed as it is with the latter process.

Copying can be performed on most graphical user interface systems using the key combinations Ctrl+C (used for killing the running process in UNIX and DOS environments) or Ctrl+Ins (the former being more widely supported), or by using some other method, such as a context menu or a toolbar button. Once data have been copied into the area of memory referred to as the clipboard, they can be pasted into a destination using the key combinations Ctrl+V or Shift+Insert, or methods dependent on the system. Macintosh computers use the key combinations Command+C and Command+V. In the X Window System, selecting text copies it to a clipboard, while middle-clicking pastes.

The popularity of this method stems from its simplicity and the ease with which data can be moved between various applications without resorting to permanent storage.

Comparison to verb-object paradigm

As of 2005, the cut-and-paste paradigm is so universal as to be taken for granted, and it may be instructive to compare a competing paradigm, popular in some early, highly successful applications that were known for ease of use by the standards of the day.

1. Initially, no text is selected.
2. The user initiates the operation by selecting a move command in some manner.
3. The system displays a prompt such as "Move what?"
4. The system enters a modal state in which the only actions available to the user are either to select text or cancel the move operation.
5. The user selects the text in some manner.
6. The system displays a prompt "To where?"
7. The system enters a modal state in which the only actions available to the user are either to indicate an insertion point or cancel the move operation.
8. The user indicates the insertion point and confirms the move operation.
9. The effects of the move are displayed.

Answer 2

LOL! The thing is, the asker is the one who is usually lazy! Why doesn't the asker just google or wiki this stuff???
For Joe - what's the point of paraphrasing when the actual text is right there? If I didn't understand it, I wouldn't have pasted it.
For WeeMaryAnn - I wouldn't be able to answer many of these questions and also be taken seriously if I did not have a credible source. I'm not an architect, linguist, doctor, theologian, etc, and I do try to give the best answer possible. I actually spend quite a bit of time on most of the questions that I answer, and often times I learn something in the process. It's simply that I really do take 97% of the questions that I answer very seriously. I want to do a good job, so I resort to those who are more intelligent and experienced than I am.
To the asker: Please tell me you don't waste people's time on questions that you don't care about. How am I to know if you care or not?

Answer 3

Yes. It's called Divine Laziness, and Ignorant Design. Ignorant Design comes into it when people answer a completely different question to what was asked, or choose to rant instead of answering. A lovely example I once had was a cut'n'paste that filled the page, but did not answer the question at all. I've also had a few people who completely ignore the question itself, and just say stuff like 'I agree'. Okay, you agree. Fair enough, now would you like to tell me your answer at any time? Divine Laziness is the other great religious reason for not reading. It takes the form of a question format (I'll steal your example): Q: Why don't Xs ever seem to tolerate Ys? QD: I don't personally think there's many Xs who dislike Ys, it's just a small minority who tend to be extremely rude and disgusting in their attitudes. A case of the noisiest few, so to speak. What's your opinion on this? A: We're not ALL like that!!! Stop being so judgemental!! ummmm.....READ IT NEXT TIME!!!! lol. ((((hugs))))

Answer 4

No, I see it as better than typing your own words, if your gonna quote something cutting and pasting ensures no errors.

I often use BibleGateway.com for any scripture references.
I also use Luther's Cathechism which I downloaded from lcms.org

The best place to get your answers is probably from your church's or denomination's website.

Answer 5

If anyone is deceived, it's the cut-and-pasters themselves. They think they're spreading the truth, when all they're doing is repeating a lie.

Answer 6

I think people should be able to paraphrase it to show they actually read it, let alone understood it.

Answer 7

read Marx text and copy and paste here.

Answer 8

I'd say you've done a good job of it right now!
