Quote: NathanIMHO, something trivial you did as a rebellious teenager shouldn't keep you from being granted access to the U.S as an adult. IMHO, as an adult, admitting you smoked pot as a rebellious teenager is in the same vein as,"I stole a bag of chips from Chevron when I was 15." See trivial.
If shoplifting at 15 is trivial, what is it at 21? 25? Shoplifting is a gateway crime. I strongly suspect most murderers, and career criminals were shoplifters as kids. Today's shoplifters are tomorrow's carjackers.

Stealing a single bag of chips from Chevron as a 15 year old is trivial. I stole a candy bar as a child. I wouldn't do it today as an adult.

Why wouldn't we, we have a country full of morons. We are represented by our peers.
At this point, I am hoping 2016 was a momentary brain fart and that people of good will will recognize it for what it was.Quote: DRichWhy wouldn't we, we have a country full of morons. We are represented by our peers.

Am I the last honest person? I certainly hope not.
I am amazed how easily people choose to tell little white lies when the truth is just as easy. Suggesting someone lie to a Federal Officer is disrespectful to our country and our way of life. A lock can stop a thief. Stopping a lie is harder.

Basically, they are the ones in the wrong for creating the situation. Sort of like self-defense.
Precisely. YES.Quote: billryanWE have a government currently run by morons and you think their policies are stupid?
Or to themselves ! Or their kids. This is STUPID, STUPID, STUPID. And petty. Maybe STrUmPID will catch on. Commander in STUPID. trumpidiot.

On the plus side it's a great way to reduce violence in the black community. They should drop free joints from helicopters during riots in order to protect businesses and property.
Quote: KeyserMy biggest complaint about pot is the horrible skunk smell. It's horrible, and now EVERY hotel in Las Vegas and California smells like it. Somebody has got to find a way to remove that cat piss/skunk smell from the joints.

I can see it in my head now. People are rioting and looting and all of a sudden, they look up and see helicopters dropping free joints and they stop their rioting and looting and have their focus on the free joints, hands upwards and open and gleefully take them and leave with the free joints, ready to smoke these unexpected gifts! :D
