Just another example of why college research papers are only worth a grade so you can pass a class and move on to make money. Who wants to end up like this guy? Seriously, his huffing and puffing throughout the video are perfectly symbolic of the uselessness of college papers. Who in their right minds wants this kind of garbage to be a requirement for success? Society would be better off if there was no such thing as a research paper in today's world.

@murphybrown4 good comment. people can be so rude and nasty its horrible he's only giving his advice.

@JDMacaB if there was no such thing as research papers, then there would be no scientific advancement or knowledge, because this is how the knowledge gets published. What a ridiculous thing to say.

[FrankioloDiddlyDee]

What is wrong with some of you people? Science, all science social or life sciences, is driven by research and the reporting of this research, as research papers, which have to be referenced and formatted properly to get published and get out into the scientific community. And why do ye have to insult the man? Jesus christ the internet really brings out the idiocy of some people. Writing a research paper means you get an indepth knowledge of the subject. My god, enjoy your lives frying chips.

@JDMacaB Although I do agree on the direction college papers have been going, SOCIETY would be better off without verbal abuse toward somebody just trying to help a stranger

Just go to Term Paper Gurus or find someone off Craigslist and you are done. Most use some sort of Paypal , and go figure that person sitting next to you getting A's is using writters. Only thing is -if you start with them end the class with them because they have become your paper fingerprint.

Forget this stuff ! Go to Term Paper Gurus or get someone off Craigslist. There are so many talented people out here looking to do gigs. I have found three writters and they are awesome. Just have to trust them into your website ,and payments are made through Paypal. Best thing I ever did !

@JDMacaB Mmmm... notice he says, "If your going to write a research paper in the social sciences." Assuming someone is majoring in any of the social science obviously knows they are pursuing an academic life and not money. Therefore you have to know the basic rules of writing a simple research paper to show competency within your field. By the way, this is my last year of school and I don't recall any of my professors ever saying that this is the only way to be successful.

@FvckUrAssOn2010 I know exactly what you mean and how you feel. It seems like such a waste of time to me. I hate papers and and as a law student I have written a thousand of them. I say that it's crazy. I learn more by lectures and the text books. Why waste our time with papers? I learn absolutely nothing by writing papers because they bore me to death.
