Scott Perry (R-PA) is not quite sure what the President's immigration policy will be.quote:“And this president is disengaged from this,” he said. “He’s out fundraising, he’s out golfing, and he’s talking about shutting down Guantanamo Bay and opening up the borders more to either Ebola patients or illegal immigrants. You gotta know where someone’s core is and it’s evidenced in what they do everyday not necessarily what they say in my opinion.” Now it's obviously one of those two, but which? Hmmm....

I still have my dare card  We had a dare officer who, in the final weeks of 5th grade, held an "ask me anything" session where we wrote in anonymous questions into a hat (emphasis on anonymous). I submitted a question that basically asked if he beat up/arrested people who made fun of him while in uniform. It was a very honest question based on some movies I saw, I had virtually no concept of how to use innocent questions to deliberately provoke. These questions were read aloud in class and he seemed pretty cool with most people's weird questions. But as soon as he read mine, he got upset and badgered the class for a confession. I had told a friend what I had written in earlier in the day, so it wasn't long until he pointed the finger at me. The officer answered, but he spent an extra ten minutes on the topic in a much harsher tone and looking in my direction the whole time. Looking back on it, goddamn how can a cop get that upset over a child? I bet it was the reason I didn't win the dare bear contest either.

Alter Ego posted:Personally I've never had a problem with people who smoked weed, but I never did it myself because of the smell. God, I cannot stand that smell. For what it's worth, I used to feel this way too. Couldn't stand the smell. I was also one of those guys that bought the DARE thing for an embarrassingly long time, and didn't try weed until I was 28. Now I love the way it smells because I psychologically associate it with getting high...but I also don't use anymore because the whole "job with a security clearance and random drug testing" bullshit. Cest la vie. Of course, I'll go right back to it the moment my continued employment doesn't depend on pissing clean anymore.

If it means anything to anyone, in the Florida Gubernatorial debate just now Rick Scott, the current Republican governor, refused to come out and debate Charlie Crist, the former Republican governor turned Democratic challenger, because Crist had a small cooling fan under his podium and Scott claimed that broke the rules of the debate. I love my home state and am so happy to be a teacher here

If it makes you feel better, the right wedding dress ad has a take for every Republican gubernatorial candidate. As for how Rick Scott got elected, he ran against the electoral powerhouse that is Alex Sink in 2010 and just barely eked out a win.

If DARE had any lasting effect on me, it was playing on my anxiety issues by convincing me that the moment I try to relax and smoke some weed with friends, a loving narcotics agent would step out from behind a potted plant and arrest me. Only for a judge to be up for reelection, and make an example of me to look tough on drugs. I was a hosed up kid.

I had DARE in, I think, elementary school, but I don't think anyone, including the teacher or cop, took it seriously. I still didn't start smoking weed until my last year of high school, but I think that was mostly just from being a nerd

The local DARE program spent a lot of time emphasizing that you really shouldn't ever gently caress around with eg heroin, meth and cocaine. They mentioned that weed is against the law, but it was the drugs that were actually dangerous that they made sure to impress on us.

In my DARE class, the officer passed around her unloaded service revolver and one of the kids tried to pocket a speedloader. Also hallucinogens sounded rad.

you know you can eat weed if you don't like the smell, right? It isn't an either-or-thing. Like alcohol, there are plenty of ways to hide the smell/flavor for those who don't care for it.

So when you're eyeballing the weed, do you just grind it up and put it under your eyelid or do you inject it into your sclera or what? There's a remote chance it'll be legal in Florida soon so I need to know now, dammit.

Hey, I have that fan! It's an excellent Honeywell fan, incredibly powerful for it's size and as I understand it relatively energy efficient. If Charlie Crist can choose his policy as well as he shops for fans Florida has a clear choice.

True story, I used to do ocular vodka "shots" with some Belarussians I knew. At the time, I always thought they got me super hosed-up but with the benefit on hindsight, I'm noticing that I was always already super-hosed-up when I decided that washing my eye with vodka was a good idea. Stings like a bitch and makes your eyes pop-out like a cartoon character, all inflamed and poo poo.

I want to hug all the future alcoholics and tell them that it's okay to just drink the stuff. No need to chug it via your eyes or your butthole or anything else! At least until throat cancer, at which point you'll want those other orifices nice and undamaged for a few extra months.

Also ones that the Bush admin did their level best to hide because they make it painfully obvious the only WMDs Saddam had were rotten mustard and sarin gas rounds he'd produced with western (including US) help in the 80s. Thanks to the invasion, there's still undemolished stockpiles lying unguarded in territory ISIS now controls, as they were handed over to the Iraqi government who had no impetus or ability to get rid of them. So in fact, the invasion may well directly result in a terror attack using chemical weapons.

I heard the "we know he has chemical weapons even without evidence since we gave them to him!" argument during the lead up to the Iraq war but I don't think it caught on that well since it puts an obvious tarnish on our hero complex image. It's not surprising to see them trying anything to save face from that mess.
