Look at this fat retard with his lousy sociology degree. I bet he sits in his cubicle with his thumb up his rear all damn day!

But amputees cannot do anything in law enforcement right?

I've been trying to get into probation for almost three years.

@dazedandsublime Ok, just making sure, and I'm glad that you can pass. Yeah, sometimes probation helps people, and sometimes it doesn't. A lot depends on the willingness of the offender and the PO. The systm has its flaws that need to be fixed. Take care.

@lillylawgirl its all under different names, and i can pass the UAs so im all good. but im sayin friends went from only smoking weed and being against other drugs, to not smoking weed and always doing hard drugs because they were on probation. its a bad system man

[lillylawgirl]

@dazedandsublime No, actually I do not drink. What I'm saying is that when ur on probation you are not supposed to be smoking weed, and if you get caught it could result in violation. If the POs see where you've posted things about smoking weed, then they will more of an ass to you than ever. I'm just trying to be helpful. I know all about how POs think.

[dazedandsublime]

@lillylawgirl do you drink? im sure youre of legal age so itd be ok for you to say you did

[lillylawgirl]

@dazedandsublime Listen, You don't need to write about any drug usage or any other criminal activity, regardless of it's fictional or not. Whether you think so or not, POs check the internet for things just like what you posted about smoking weed. It won't seem like entertainment when the question you about it. Again, hope everything goes well.
