But here's the thing...

Why would anyone go to Iraq or Syria right now? Unless you're retarded, you'd know that both of the countries are warzones. Just, why the hell would you visit either country right now?
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.

Somebody could have a cold coming in from Nigeria, or it could be Ebola. There's really no argument here, and it's only something go someone as stupid as Kinder would bring up.

And as for your "far easier methods", what do you suggest is done?
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.

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.

"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
- Benjamin Franklin

The actions of a few individuals doesn't represent the whole and it's fucking scary that some group of people think they have power to tell others where they can and can't travel to. People talk about how certain things is fear mongering yet these actions is what REAL fear mongering is; it's brain washing people into thinking that somebody wanting to keep things private is automatically a suspicious terrorist. It's no different than the thinking that people who oppose the NSA are suspicious. People have a natural right to privacy and it needs to be respected

Don't compare this to disease. That's just stupid. ANYBODY can get sick bit not anybody can be a terrorist
This.

I don't even feel that stoned in my brain, but my body is somehow... numb to me.
That is really unusual...I would lay off on it for a while, maybe try another hit or so later. If it is laced, I have no idea what it's laced with. None of those effects sound similar.

Either really dank or laced. Probably the former, if you live in a halfway-decent area.

Tim Horton's was created by Tim Horton. A hockey player for the Toronto Maple Leafs. It started as a Canadian only single store and has become a staple of Canadian culture.
Tim's has recently started expanding into the US. :)
Eh, I guess so. If by "recent" you mean ten years ago.

That's why I'm saying you probably should've called someone over before she stormed out. Chances are, you would've gotten out of the situation much easier and the manager would've been more understanding.
Eh, I didn't know she was going to go batshit. I could've called someone over, but my manager hated it when cashiers did that, and I'd probably get chewed out for doing that, too. That was my first job, actually. It was incredibly shitty.

You probably should've called someone over to help you figure out what it says before she stormed out.
You should've seen the handwriting, man. It was like someone literally had a seizure as they were writing it. What I want to know is why she didn't just either circle what she wanted on the menu, or actually bring in the guy who could've ordered for her. I guarantee you the manager would have had no fucking idea what to do if he was in my shoes. I thought I handled the whole situation pretty well, but that's what I get for working in fast food at the time.

Sorry for the greentext, but it's the easiest way to tell a story.

>working at a sub shop
>customer comes in and starts pointing randomly at the huge menu behind me
>I ask her what she wants
>she points to her throat and opens her mouth wordlessly
>I get that she's some kind of mute
>I hand her a paper menu and a pen
>she starts scribbling all over the back of it in unreadable handwriting
>I tell her that I can't read it and suggest she circle what she wants
>she angrily shakes her head and continues to write illegibly all over the back of the menu
>I tell her again that I have no idea what she's writing
>she furiously storms out
>I see her go to her car and get someone who was sitting in the passenger seat the whole time
>he comes inside, pissed off
>he tells me I'm an insensitive asshole
>manager steps in and gives them a free meal
>I get dragged to the kitchen and yelled at

Fucking worst job ever. Shit like that happened all the time.

Tim Horton's isn't even a Canadian thing. There's literally one right down the road from me.
