So if you criticize something for two years straight, that's considered acceptance? Should they have just shot him?

Not everybody was criticizing him. Hell a large percentage didn't criticize him.

Crappy site, funny snippet though. I used to do this all the time in Germany, but with hash. We had to go to Amsterdam to get the green stuff.

I used to do that in high school. If I'm in that much of a pinch these days I'll try to find an apple.
