New colonies and a war on drugs

Again, try and look at a country that has legalised drugs for once, and see how it works. Apparently, it does.

I'm guessing because it's socially more accepted to smoke up pack after pack of cigarettes than it is to smoke a single joint a week. People have a lot of trouble quitting smoking, and it takes a very long time. Have you seen the adverts on all the products people make to help others stop smoking?

The first is obviously pretty biased, but it's links seem to check out. You will not have a higher risk of developing lung cancer if you smoke weed.

Dude, people that smoke weed doesn't either unless they're tricked into thinking they're addicted, or their parents force them to do it.

Oh I'm all for legalizing and quality controlling marijuana. Links? I'm pretty sure it's not that unhealthy to smoke weed.

You have seen it yourself... Because that's a valid source on the internet. You know what they say: Pics or it didn't happen...
Give me real sources and research done by professors or doctors or whatever.

1. Marijuana is not an addictive substance. This is a proven fact, there is no withdrawal effects from THC. You mentioned you live in a upper middle class white neighbourhood so I doubt you have any real exposure to drug crimes. Nobody murder's someone to go buy weed, perhaps your talking about METH? That would make a lot more sense. Oh right I forgot your totally talking out of your ass on this subject since you really have no knowledge at all about the effects of these drugs.

2. Your a nazi because you feel that your beliefs are more important then anyone else's and feel that you can justify using force to control people. Your an authoritarian prick who should never, ever have a position of power in this world.

3. "drugs is a crime" doesn't make sense as a sentence . Your also showing your age in that you think that if something is a law, that means it must be an immoral practice. So naive.

4. I specifically said that drug trafficking is the main source of income for GANGS in FIRST WORLD NATIONS. Yes those other things are virtually irrelevant on the streets of America for example. The amount of money made of drugs DWARFS income by those means. If there were no illicit drug sales most crime street level would evaporate and it would free up the police for all other problems instead of spending the majority of their budget arresting pot smokers.

5. Your friends are also idiots then. I'm not sure why you keep saying I'm drunk, that's not much of an argument and frankly makes you seem desperate. Your friends with addicts? Not likely. Addicts don't do school, and they certainly don't hang around with you. You just are a bitter ignorant fool . I never implied you were the only person in the world with beliefs like this. Check out China! They have similar drug strategies. Certainly looks like a place I'd like to live. Maybe you should start executing highly educated people too before they criticize the gaping wholes in your plans.

Woah there partner.
Don't go critisizing China without understanding their position.
Even before the Opium Wars, China had a long history of drug problems.
From what I know, most of the Chinese people actively support the government stance on drugs over there.

With a population their size, it is tough to say "Oh, only _% use drugs if they were all legalized!" because _% is a **** lot of people. And it is culturally shameful and a mark on the regime if they allowed it to happen.

K I'll be more subtle. China is a human rights disaster in most area's and their position on drugs is hardily a surprise since they have to convince so many people to work 14 hours a day.

I can confirm that he has quite a few friends who are drug addicts. And to say they would not be in school is an ignorant statement. One of them is an all A all honors student.

How often do you actually look into China's human rights? How closely do you look? Or do you just turn away after the Western Media says that they have nothing else to say? You are the kind that would say that China has human rights problems and leave it at that, not acknowledging any of the progress that they have made and refusing to acknowledge that your own country has human rights problems or dismissing them as minor or isolated cases without giving the same to the Chinese.

Their position on drug =/= Work hours. Your logic in that makes no sense whatsoever, nor have you even tried to explain it. If you can.

And for your information, though in your country you may have the luxury of being a lazy ****, most Chinese do not. They actually ask for more hours so they can make more money. They may not love their work, but IT IS WORK. Unlike other places in the world, in China the people cherish their work and will continue if the company didn't tell them to go home at the end of the day. It is so that they can feed their families and get education for their children so that their prodigy will live easier lives.

You are a perfect example of someone who looks through one lens and sees everything through that lens - the Western lens. You border dangerously on racism.

No, I am sure they are not. They can say they are, but a drug addict would spend every waking hour trying to find money. guess how much 1 hour of coke is? Just one hour of using costs you 300 bucks if you rush through it(at least where I come from) meth certainly isn't much better. Smoking pot or doing some drugs some times does not make you a drug addict LMFAO

A Honors student? You brats have never even met someone with a real drug problem you are miraculously ignorant of it. It is literally impossible for a real addict to maintain going to school. The lack of judgement , loss of appetite , the lack of sleep. They would never show up to class.

I'm racist because I question the chinese government? Oh, my... god.

Minor or isolated cases? There is no hope for you. Either your ignoring the fucking TORRENT of things that have happened over there or your just pretended that all media sources ever are in some vast conspiracy to make china look bad.

Oh yeah your right slave labour is a totally fair policy. The western media IF ANYTHING would want to make it look like China's doing just fine because our lifestyles are maintained off their insanely low wages. You figure everyone over there is content ? Oh I was just doin a hard days work assembling mcdonalds toys for 14 hours , life is grand man I'm so lucky.

I'm not going to waste any more time on you.

Tell that to the drug addict he's friends with then.

Not possible. I don't care what you children consider a drug addict to be LMAO.

You call me a child, yet you are the one acting like one. I used to like you when you first came on the forums. Then you started acting like you knew everything, and started insulting everyone who disagreed with you. Grow up.

Two can play this game. I'm acting like one because I know what a drug addict actually is? Have you ever worked with one? Lived with one? You can't be successful when you cannot tolerate life without something in your system. Doing meth and going to class doesn't work out! You don't get fucked up and go to school! If you do you get kicked out for your outrageous behavour or the psychological impact of not sleeping or eating for the last two days kicks in! Oxicotton and other pain killers are probably the only things you could even attempt going to school on and even they would fuck with your psyche until you just give up or can't afford to buy any more.

Do not presume to understand drug addicts just because some fucking 15 year old says "ohh i'm addicted to drugs it's so bad Ohhh"

Not just this thread, but just about every place I see you post now, you act like an asshole. Maybe if you start posting like you did in this post, then you might get more respect on the forum.

(Ugly color fixed by FeyBart.)

I want to know what kind of pot Feybart is always going on about because he is always talking about how addictive and damaging it is, and it doesn't sound like pot at all. News flash, when I smoke pot all day, every day for a week, and then go a week without it, I feel fine. No addiction symptoms at all. And the pot most people smoke is amost always pure and natural, except in rare cases and if somebody adds something, like tobacco, later. And what that shit about nicotine? I know you went back on it, but still, that ain't the only thing you're wrong about.

I don't care if you don't respect me. Someone has to point out how outrageous and stupid some things are. I refuse to let something so completely and utterly wrong stand in a light that equally ignorant people might pick up on and spread like a damn plague.

(Ugly color fixed by FeyBart.)

Do you care if most of the forum doesn't respect you? And you know you can defend your view points without being an asshole. It really is not that hard.

(Ugly color fixed by FeyBart.)

No I do not.

No it isn't but I admit I have a problem letting people spreading stupid idea's have a peaceful existence. I feel as if I'm staring in the face of the greatest threat to man kind.

Like Imperial for example, maybe it's heritage or whatever but something about him makes him babble like a idiot every time China is mentioned, and suddenly I become a racist because I disagree with him.

A racist. Are you kidding me. Nobody who is worth anything should give a damn or even be talking about skin colour while we have a conversation about politics? What is this the fucking 14th century? It wasn't even mentioned and since this nutjob had no other points he decides to call me a racist LOL!

(Ugly color fixed by FeyBart.)

I do agree that general mosh's idea is ridiculous.
