Lawyers, Legal People, ANYBODY!!!.. I have a questionanaire that i need to fill..

[The Stigenator]

Its for a 'TV' program and it requires me to cite a lot of things as part of my application, it has 21 pages and lot of it, are questions that are NOT stuff in public records.
I wonder what harm would one do if they mention something not on public record as part of the background information? Technically I should just plead the fifth on those right?

Questions like: Drug use and alcohol use etc etc. Not that I use drugs but the point is that its unfair to the contestant that they ask questions like that to verify their background but in the process are going to self incriminate themselves in the process if they say yes.

Like for me, I do not use drugs, but I have been around people who do use drugs and in close quarters and I have felt the high from the resulting smoke. So that cant be considered drug use as I am a passive drug user then? But if I answer yes, then i am self incriminating myself and somehow that can end up on someone record. Should one just answer no and let it be? cause its not part of any public record.

just do a Bill Clinton and write "I didn't inhale"


if you are asking if you should lie or tell the truth, then i recommend telling the truth
if you are uncomfortable telling the truth, then don't fill it out at all

You want a lawyer to fill out an application to appear on a TV program?

Just lie. It's TV, after all.

the whole thing is that their app is kinda setup to 'self incriminate' yourself.

I am not sure how to respond back to all this questions.. and what to do? Its a reality show and i guess they do not want certain parts to show up, but i guess they are protecting themselves too in the process. So i dont know. Its just weird, giving me a creep factor.

You are not a drug user, so the answer is no. Take the question as being literal. The question was not "Have you ever been around drug users and imagined feeling high?" (the answer is probably no, you probably experienced a placebo effect; it'd take A LOT of smoking for you to get high that way)

wonder what i should do?

Dont disclose if your grandma is dead, you can use that for sympathy later

Did your girlfriend ask you to come on Jerry Springer?

If they're asking you to fill out a 20pg questionnaire, mightn't they check online sites that you frequent to make sure that you're aren't, oh, i don't know, asking for guidance about whether or not to lie on it?
