How We Protect At-Risk Kids.

Hell, half of the "civilized" parts of Maine don't have cell reception. Definitely none of the actual remote parts do.

He's probably at Sebago or Popham, valiantly fighting off some troublesome seagulls and wondering how people even survive in the wild lands on the other side of the Kennebec River.

Roughing it LIKE A BOSS.

While I am very far north I am staying in a pretty nice hotel.  Breakfast was quite yummy.

I'm sure Cain will tell you where I am since he likes to keep tabs on me.   

Yeah, it's not like I see your IP address next to your post or anything.

Like I said, he likes to keep tabs on me.

No, you shut up. Obviously this fiendishly clever (and handsome) devil ensnared you in his trap by leaving just enough information to make you reveal that you're stalking him.

You stalker, you!

More kids using worsens conditions.

Your standard sucks.

Kids with ruined lives over a bit of pot sucks.

Doesn't happen

Happens all the time.  I have provided linked examples.  You then deny that it ever happens.

I would like to understand just what a "ruined life" consists of.

I dont know why, but i do.

Busy not totally having sex, I see.

That post was 3 1/2 hours ago.

He keeps track of the time since he posted last.

LAME.

It's really very simple.

Doing drugs = ruined life

Safe from drugs = life not ruined.

TOTALLY STRAIGHTFORWARD, TRY TO FOLLOW ALONG.

Simple math, how does it work?

Other exciting things that totally do not ruin lives:

- Decades-long incarceration for minor drug offenses
- Permanent records classifying someone as a DIRTY CRIMINAL
- Inability to gain employment due to said records
- Living life according to oversimplified and unscientific RWHN-brand "Ideals"

It is also worth noting that, every time someone brings up the point that alcohol is perfectly legal yet more harmful in every measurable way than marijuana, RWHN dodges by claiming "well that's the way the law is written, and I'm not trying to make the world perfect, just trying to keep it from getting worse."

HOWEVER, those existing laws which RWHN is not interested in changing are the very laws which lead to the types of "totally not ruining lives" situations I listed above. When THESE are brought up, RWHN's response (if he bothers to give one) is "I advocate for [diversion/therapy/etc], not harsh criminal penalties for young small-time offenders."

Which is it, RWHN? Do you want to preserve the legal status quo, or do you want to improve it? You can't claim both of those things and remain logically consistent.

He doesn't do logical consistency.

I'm trying to think of what a non-ruined life looks like. Does it look like Ther American Dream? Is it basically what RWHN has acheived?

Is it when you've hit rock bottom? What does rock bottom look like? How does rock bottom happOH RIGHT THIS ISN'T A DISCUSSION WITH DIRECTION OR PURPOSE.

I should have known better than to take WHN seriously once i found out he listens to smooth jazz. I've never known anyone who likes that shit and also isn't a total dick.
