I bought a glass pipe for a random 16 year old once (with money he gave me, of course). I also usually give money to beggars whenever I see them.

Stealing, definitely. There was also a time when my friend and I prank called a one-man tow truck company and told him that our car broke down on an icy road thirty miles from where his store was. This was at like 2am in the middle of a blizzard in Michigan. The guy said that he normally wouldn't drive so far away so late at night, but that he didn't want anyone stuck in the middle of the snowstorm, and that he'd be there in 45 minutes. That was pretty fucking shitty.

I don't mind letting women walk around topless if they don't mind half the guys they see having raging erections. Kinda awkward, but it's all in the name of social progression!

Serious / Re: Well, Boris Johnson just destroyed our constitution in one swift blow« on: August 27, 2014, 04:43:00 PM »Terrorism isn't a disease? Whoda thunk.That's actually not what "put more suspicion" means at all. Also, I thought that this was a situation where anyone going to Iraq or Syria was "arrested and presumed guilty" like the OP said when I made the post you're quoting. Mr. P has already cleared that up. 29140
Serious / Re: Well, Boris Johnson just destroyed our constitution in one swift blow« on: August 27, 2014, 04:07:36 PM »It's not so much of an automatic arrest and presumption of guilt as a check on people going out there in the first place. If they are going out there with a good reason, all they have to do is state it and possibly provide evidence of their claim. This is exceptionally poor wording and possibly implementation but the reasoning behind it at least makes sense.What? The OP made it seem much more militant than that. I can definitely agree with asking why people are traveling there in the first place, but I don't think it's necessary to arrest everyone who doesn't want to disclose that information. As long as you're not bringing home a bomb (which is incredibly easy to check), or obviously aiding terrorism, this seems like a situation where a few idiots are messing up the system for everyone. 29141
Serious / Re: Well, Boris Johnson just destroyed our constitution in one swift blow« on: August 27, 2014, 04:07:17 PM »But here's the thing...It doesn't really matter why, first off. People should be able to go to whatever country they want to, as long as they're not doing anything illegal there. Maybe a Brit has family in one of those two countries. Maybe a Brit wants to start up humanitarian efforts to those involved in the crisis. There are many, many more reasons someone would want to travel there than to aid terrorism. 29142

There's really no argument here, and it's only something go someone as stupid as Kinder would bring up.Traveling to a country that is known to have a deadly, contagious disease going around is much different than traveling to a country with intense terrorism. There is a much more likely chance that you're going to bring home a disease, than there is that you're going to bring home a bomb. You can't "catch" terrorism. As for the easier methods, I already partially laid that out in my previous post. It's as simple as putting more suspicion on people returning from Iraq and Syria, investigating them more, asking them why they went, etc. Arresting anyone who goes to a specific country is idiotic, IMO, and that's why I've always been against travel embargoes. 29143
Serious / Re: Well, Boris Johnson just destroyed our constitution in one swift blow« on: August 27, 2014, 03:52:14 PM »Lol, how? Just look at Flee's response cause that's what I would say.Because while it's true that anyone can be a terrorist, that applies to everything. Anyone can be a serial killer. Anyone can be a rapist. That doesn't mean that we have to assume that everyone is. Should more detail and suspicion be put onto people returning from those areas? Of course. Should they be automatically arrested, and presumed to be a terrorist? No, that's idiotic. The fact of the matter is that an extremely slim percentage of Brits going to those areas are actual ISIS supporters. The vast majority aren't terrorists. And that being said, there's far easier ways to combat British terrorist defectors than this method. 29144
