Makes me want to cry

I was looking for websites that would help my students with their essays; however, this is not what I had in mind.





"THE ART OF RELIEVING STUDENTS' PAIN" - What about causing teachers pain?

Order writing of fully referenced original custom paper on any topic, any type of assignment, in a required discipline and within 8 hour deadline.

All papers are WRITTEN FROM SCRATCH by the graduate writers according to your instructions and there is NO DANGER OF PLAGIARISM. We have a large staff of writers, which means we can group them by different disciplines and subject specializations. The papers written are never reused, nor sold as pre-written essays, as we are not affiliated with any pre-written essay database site, unlike some of the competitors in the market.


"[T]here is no danger of plagiarism" - How about the danger of becoming an unscrupulous, lying asshole?

They even have "operating principles" - isn't that a tad bizarre for a website that helps people cheat?

And, if you are worried that your essay might be too good. Not to fear - they even have people who can make the same types of mistakes as you.

Some customers require that the writer possessed a particular type of the language. Each customer may choose, if possible, out of:

  • Native speaking American English writer
  • Native speaking British English writer
  • Non-native speaking writer (to resemble the language of a non-native speaking customer).

The number of grammar mistakes that I see on this website makes me think that most of their work is done by non-native speakers.

Update:
Clearly there were tears in my eyes when I first looked at this site. On scrolling down later, I found this:

There are strong reasons WHY your cooperation with CustomWritings cannot be labeled as cheating:

  • you DON'T STEAL anything from us

  • you pay a FAIR PRICE for our services

  • our writers get both financial and spiritual REWARD for their work

  • you simply DELEGATE your tasks and focus only on those things that REALLY MATTER IN YOUR LIFE

  • It is absolutely LEGAL in the US and Europe, as there are no laws prohibiting this

At CustomWritings.com we believe IT'S ETHICAL to get an outside help and delegate your writing assignments to professional writers same as if you would get your watches fixed or car repaired by third party experts.


Gee, "...we believe IT'S ETHICAL to get an outside help [sic]...", I guess it must be okay then. "...[T]he same as you would get your watches fixed or car repaired by third party experts." For crying out loud, you don't get a grade for the work that your mechanic did. Nobody thinks you fixed your own car. It's not the same thing. This, of course, brings to thought that wonderful quotation in Joseph Conrad's The Heart of Darkness, "The horror! The horror!" Let me say this about that: It's cheating. You can't just make up your own definition. It's cheating. And, if you use this service, you're a cheater.

Since this is "legal" and "ethical," maybe I should "delegate"...They could write a few stories for me; a novel, even. I'm enticed by the idea of a "spiritual reward."

Only politicians and actors can have ghostwriters - not real novelists. I may not buy your novel. And, I'm thinking purgatory is what these people are getting. The whole academic cheating thing is very disheartening. It is becoming more and more important to get a university degree but less and less important to get a good education.

Yes, I agree. It's disheartening. Criminal, actually...to pass off someone else's words as one's own. Knowledge is sacred to me. I love learning almost for its own sake.
