<quoted text>Yeah, real cool, except you didn't get a second chance, you just got more of your first chance. That "second chance" thing is just so much brain washing from the people who don't want you in society, who want you in jail forever for petty crimes.
Your born with your life, not someone else's. Your life is one entire, life-long first chance. I don't want to know your situation, but my guess is you didn't make the drugs yourself, you didn't bring tons over the border. You didn't create the borders, and you didn't create the border issues. What you're exposed to in our society is not of your doing. You vote for things and vote against others, but you still have to face situations in our country that aren't of your making. And if something backfires on you, chances are it's not of your doing. So it's all your first chance, there's no such thing as a second chance at your life. It's the only life you've got, and it isn't for someone else's manipulation.
So have fun with your first chance again. I'm having fun with mine whether people like it or not.
And you have a lot more first chance waiting for you once you start your pardon process. I'm guessing you have a felony, and now that you're off probation you can wait a while and go for your pardon. You won't get it, but you might get a certificate of rehabilitation, which is like half-a-pardon. There's a lot out there like that (expungements and such), but the second-chancers aren't going to make it easy for you because their life philosophy's wrong. You have to assert your first chance all over them, make them realize that it's your first chance and not their's.
And while you're at it, don't forget to call your representatives and tell them you want Prop 36 retroactive and you're not going to take "no" for an answer. It's your first chance rights.

<quoted text>Notice he said he was being violated for a dirty urinalysis? He's going to prison on a probation violation, not an assault case or anything. And his violation is for drug use, not violence.

I agree with him on some levels but don't know the nature of his crime. I believe the justice systems is backwards. They make you do the time for the crime and pay these huge fines and when you cant pay one month they violate your probation. Keeping the little man down. Isn't your freedom enough punishment.

yughh wrote:

<quoted text>That's about as understandable as anything can get. If you can't figure that out, then get out of crime and drugs.
But Prop 36 being retro would clarify many people's position. You don't get it?
I do.

Like I said before, don't care about prop 36. And just in case you do did not understand my earlier post, I AM out of crime and drugs.

yughh wrote:

<quoted text>If you are so reformed, why bother with a thread like this? If you've changed your life so much, a subject like the one this thread's about wouldn't interest you at all, you wouldn't even have found it because you'd have different interests.
You obviously still have many problems to deal with. That's a shame. Good luck to you.

Ummmm... huh? So are you insinuating that everyone reading this thread is into crime and drugs??
I have to agree respectfully Mr. Yughh that most of your comments have made little sense.

<quoted text> If you can't understand them or what they're about, you shouldn't try to give advice about something that you know nothing about.

Funny you assume that I know nothing of the 'system'. Your assumption, Mr. Yughh, is pure ignorance. I don't mean that disrespectfully but in the true sense of the word.
