[QUOTE=lulzbocksV2;31965880]What are the details of the 3rd degree assault?[/QUOTE] Read my thread.
[QUOTE=Laferio;31965831]The only thing I can't really pinpoint is that when you've taking martial arts for a certain period. You have to be registered as a human weapon. [/QUOTE] Not sure, I'd have to get back to you on that. My main point though is that it just feels unjust to see someone punished for self defense. What if OP was a woman and stabbed this man in self defense? Would that make a difference?

And this is why I don't drink.
Here is Aus we have a charity called BeyondBlue that gives support to the depressed and metally ill, surely in the entire US there are some similar charities. Can anybody think of some? There are many people that would be willing to help, sometimes it's just finding them thats a problem. Good luck, stay happy and thank you for sharing this thread with us.
Why are you taking hulu and netflix over food again
Quit smoking cigarettes. Smoke weed. It's only 20$ for a dub and depending on tolerance it can last awhile. You're just killing yourself and the others around you currently. Personally people that smoke cigarettes are bitches. Quiting isn't hard at all. It's not fun. EDIT: I skip breakfast everyday. Not because I have to either, just because It's not hard to do. Seems like a QQ thread. Cancel the Internet and stop bitching to other people about your problems. INB4: BAN. Even though I qq'd on the forum all the time as a shit poster in earlier times and people told me to do the exact same.
[QUOTE=TaoAmano;31966427]Quit smoking cigarettes. Smoke weed.[/QUOTE] that's a fucking terrible idea
I can't smoke weed. I get pee tested every 2 weeks. Besides, weed gives me bad anxiety. I prefer stimulants.
[QUOTE=thisispain;31966477]that's a fucking terrible idea[/QUOTE] If you are going to smoke anything, weed is healthier by far. I prefer people don't smoke at all. Especially if their bi-polar and have many problems like the OP and obviously can't afford it.
[QUOTE=yawmwen;31962493] My dad is on disability and my mom recently got laid off from her work. My family has to go live paycheck to paycheck, constantly juggling different bills hopefully not getting anything shut off. We can afford internet, hulu, and netflix, at the expense of eating well some days(netflix and hulu combined costs maybe a day or two's worth of dinner). Nicotine(I am a smoker), [/QUOTE] I agree that how the legal system treats people who've already served their sentance or punishment for commiting a crime is wrong but if your family can barely afford to buy food all the time then you need to rethink your priorities. Hulu and Netflix are not basic needs and it's just poor money management. The same goes for smoking when you've got barely any money, just quit, spend your money on bills and even if you get craving then you don't have money to spend on it.
^ Someone taking my side. Sorry it's a rare occurance. Had to point it out. Well on the smoking thing. Not the weed and shit but yeah. :/
Dude, My mom is single, my dad is AWOL, bills need paying, I can't get a job for the fucking life of me, and the fridge is low on stock, now I'm not a felon but the option is pretty damn pleasing atm, dont worry homes we'll get out of this.

[QUOTE=Callius;31966672]The same goes for smoking when you've got barely any money, just quit, spend your money on bills and even if you get craving then you don't have money to spend on it.[/QUOTE] I'm not a smoker, but if even 10% of what I've heard from smokers is true, it's nowhere near as easy as just saying "I don't have the cash for it". Also, netflix is his parents, not him.
Termimutter.. The problem is smoking isnt addictive at all. Its all in the persons head/addictive attitude. Nonstop smoker here from when I was twelve to fifteen. I quit and never went back on it. I've had one cigarette within the last two years. (I'm sixteen now.)

I've been a non-stop smoker from 14 until now, that's 5 years of smoking over your 3. And yes nicotine is very addictive. It isn't a "mental addiction" like marijuana either. It makes you physically sick when you don't get nicotine. [editline]27th August 2011[/editline] And your story doesn't add up anyways. "I've had one cigarette within the last two years.(I'm sixteen now.)" That means you DIDN'T smoke when you were 15, or hell, when you were 14. So you might have had 1 year or 2 years max of smoking.
[QUOTE=latin_geek;31966414]Why are you taking hulu and netflix over food again[/QUOTE] Probably the same reason he's still smoking Little pleasures and luxuries and incredibly important when you don't have much else
whoever is suggesting he smoke weed instead of cigarettes has no idea how addictive they can be, and they don't realize he's on probation, ie: piss tests every couple weeks or every month.
wow you started smoking at 14 and tried to get an education in audio production?? bad choices!!! you can go cold turkey without dying don't worry, tons of people have done it. it is a matter of denial(spend all your money so you don't have any to spend on cigarettes and you'll be fine!!)

Personally people that smoke cigarettes are bitches. Quiting isn't hard at all. It's not fun.[/QUOTE] Ignoring the obvious mandatory piss tests... Hey OP! I know you can barely afford to feed yourself so replace the nicotine which suppresses appetite with something that costs a relatively high amount of money and as an added bonus, makes you hungrier. Nothing can possibly go wrong. My advice, I know it's gross but try switching to smokeless tobacco to save money. There's much more nicotine compared to cigarettes so you can use less and the cheapest brands cost $2.50 a can. Just put enough in to satisfy your craving, not to get a buzz because that could lead to you ending up spending more money due to a higher tolerance. Another idea, just go cold turkey as soon as you hit your manic phase. I heard 3 days is the hardest milestone so if your manic phase lasts more than that it might actually be possible, but you could end up giving in during your depressive phase

You, OP, sound like a good, respectable character. I hope all works out well for you, and I wish I was wise enough to help you. It's a shame how easily the system can fail for people in your situation, but I guess if there was a better way, people would use it. Again, hope all works out well for you. I'm sorry you're stuck like this without an help, and if I come up with anything, I'll let you know.
Now only if you were Irish V:v:V

Only on Facepunch would this guy post his story and someone suggest "switch cigarettes for potttttt" No seriously, ONLY facepunch Reddit would ask incessant pointless questions, somethingawful would have the person banned for too much stupidity, and 4chan wouldn't care because it didn't involve a cat

It's like someone traveling to another country almost.
