Anti-hunting activists up in arms...

most of the time, if you're a felon it means you have crimanal tendancys.  it's not always that way, but most of the time that's the way it is.

You're as blind as ray Charles, at least he listened to important information rather than doing what was told.

[Spencer Addington]

If you want to work it out so things like what you did are ok depending on the circumstances, fine.
If you can prove me wrong about most felons have criminal tendancy's i'm all ears to it.

You're the one who made the claim. Burden of proof lies on you my friend.

He's going by Faux News stats

On the common sense debate,

Remove warning labels and let natural selection run it's course.

I concur.

The only issue I see is that the idiots will end up sueing people for not telling them it was hot or not telling them it could poison you. Then we'll have that McDonald's situation from a couple years ago all over again

[MuggyWuggy]

Because the law is totally logical.

[MuggyWuggy]

Go sit In court for a few days in a large city and hear of all the BS cases given out that send people into debt and jail.

[Distriimuir]

Taysby, I am a registered felon. Due to me growing medicine for cancer patients here in California. Was that fair? No. And now I have to try and improve my life with that fog hanging around. Think before you speak, makes you look idiotic.

[MuggyWuggy]

Small claims court is civil court, not traffic court where you hear countless stories of people who paid the fine they were sent, thought they were done and then because they didnt Goto court; now they owe at least $1000?

You think that's legitimate process?
It's called robbing the people

[MuggyWuggy]

I'm pretty sure felonies aren't bs stuff.  I have sat in small claims court, and what puts people in debt/jail is just not showing up.

Felonies are mainly bullshit tbh. Possession of weed in many states is a felony.

Please articulate properly on how marijuana should be considered a felony; please equate possession of marijuana to rape or murder

[Rass]

I think you guys are arguing about two different things.  Taysby is not being ignorant saying, in general, people who commit crimes are more likely to commit other crimes.  Take possession/distribution since that seems to be the example of choice.  People who sell drugs and are caught are still HIGHLY likely to attempt to sell them again after the end of whatever punishment they receive.  This is a statistical fact that anyone can look up anywhere.  And to the people who went to court and watched cases; how many repeat offenders were there?  TONS would be my bet.  I worked in a courthouse for several years, it is what it is. 

On the other side of the argument, simply the fact that someone commits ANY felony is no real indicator that that person would commit a violent offense.  Many felonies are "victimless" crimes; whether a conviction for one of these offenses warrants being barred from possession of a firearm is a whole different, much more complicated discussion.  My opinion is no.  Should someone convicted of a VIOLENT offense be allowed to later have a firearm?  My opinion is no.

Regarding "extenuating circumstances,"  the law does in fact take these things into account, although typically only in sentencing.  Unfortunately, it would be nigh impossible to have a system of law governed by a moral compass, because people have different morals.  While I think a poor person stealing to feed their family is less morally reprehensible than someone who does it for fun or greed, how do you codify that in a consistent way?  What about the property's true owner, shouldn't they get something?  From who?  The law is the way it is for a reason.  It's FAR from perfect, but while I think some people fall through the cracks and get screwed over unfairly, I also think people in our legal system get, for the most part, what they deserve.

I agree with most of what you said, but money makes your defense a lot better. Person a has a public defender yep he's pretty much convicted. Person b has a lawyer like Johnny Cochran he gets off with a slap on the hand.

This is such a slippery topic because there are so many variables to take into account. That is why I am trying to stay on the sidelines.

[Rass]

Then explain this to me taysby. http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/12/12/the-affluenza-defense-judge-rules-rich-kids-rich-kid-ness-makes-him-not-liable-for-deadly-drunk-driving-accident/

A high paid lawyer has one case with a team working for him. A public defender is one person who has several cases at one time.

[Distriimuir]

Taysby, I am a registered felon. Due to me growing medicine for cancer patients here in California. Was that fair? No. And now I have to try and improve my life with that fog hanging around. Think before you speak, makes you look idiotic.

So you
Illegally grew marajuana
Illegally distributed it
Claimed it was to help cancer patients (recent studies have shown it barely helps at all and the carcinogens completely negate that benefit.  And if you turned it Ito an oil, there are many times where it could become impure which is bad, for little to no benefit)
All the while, knowing it's illegal and trying to hide it

Does that sound right?  If it does, I personally feel like you don't have that big of a respect for the law and frankly deserved it, despite your intentions to help them.  Your time and money would have been better served donating money to them to help pay for bills and getting them better care.

You are an ignorant little child. I HELPED these people at my own cost. Never charged them a cent. And cannabis has more studies showing it helping seizures and cancer than aspirin does for headaches. How dare you insult the good I did and still do for children an adults health. And I live in California , I am legally entitled to grow and GIVE.  My product away.Now shut your arrogant moronic mouth taysby when it comes to cannabis, because you have no idea of what the field is actually doing for people.

[Distriimuir]

No recent studies are showing more positives for it. Get on Internet that isn't censored by mommy and daddy and maybe you could see the real studies that have been done since the thirties. And me getting charged had to do with processing it to an oil, which helped four children's seizures drop to once a month. Also has been diminishing a few cancerous tumors. Again, you know 0 of the subject besides your closed off web access. Look for granny storm crows canna studies list. Has every study good or bad done since its inception. Far far more positive, than not. Educated yourself before someone like me destroys what you think is the truth. Been in the medical cannabis field for 10 years little boy.
