Not in the United States, though, thankfully as proven by last year's elections....Liberaltarians that favor this ought to be given a one-way ticket to these left-wing nations relaxing drug laws.

If I'm not mistaken, you favor executing drug dealers, correct?

[robertpaulsen]

See who starts fights around here?

Maybe you can ask if he favors the death penalty for drug dealers.

Executing!

[robertpaulsen]

Nevermind. Saw the post.

Please remove me from your ping list.

Thank you.

Well, its kinda nice, I guess. But even if Canada goes through with its decrim proposal, their law would still be stricter than the laws in my State. Sorry Sparky, I'll be staying in the U.S.

Nevermind. Saw the post.

Not a prob. But since you're here, I'll tell you why I brought it up. I thought of something last night regarding the capital punishment for dealers issue.

It seems to me that it would leads to cops getting murdered. Think about it, as it is now, dealers are threatened with prison. For the great majority, this does not warrant using deadly force to avoid. But if the penalty were death, what would stop them from using all possible means to prevent being caught? You know, kinda a "nothing to lose anyway" scenario.

Some thoughts for your consideration in post 10.

Meaningless since you want to see hard drugs legalized too. I would never legalize pot. That's for surrender monkeys and nation wreckers. I would exile dealers for 5- 10 years or life.......

...    Ergo supplies dwindle. Pot is very bad for young brains such as teenagers. But then what do you care.

And that article is about Canada, a pussy country that can't field a credible military.

Harry Browne's "wedge issue" --and the seminar posters pry way....
Keep your eyes on the pries!

To all: George Soros and his buddies are spending millions in their effort to normalize society to the use of drugs. They say that since the public does NOT support drug legalization, they have to use the strategy of incrementalization. Start with the "medical marijuana" sham and pour money into building websites, buying advertising and spamming the forums.

Using incrimentalization to end the WO(Americans)D sounds like a good idea to me.

We try, after all, to maintain a Free Republic.

"I thought of something last night regarding the capital punishment for dealers issue."

I assume you're referring to the posted article where the police chief called for capital punishment. If you read the article, you'll note that he qualified that statement up front -- he was referring to the execution of international drug dealers, the "drug barons".

I have no idea of his stance on the neighborhood pusher.

No I don't. What makes you think that? I think you may be mixing me up with another FReeper.

So do you make common cause with those who want to legalize all illegal drugs including heroin and meth? Like Mr. Leroy? If you have to choose between legalizing all drugs or none where do you stand?

I'll assume you support gun rights. There is an organization known as the Pink Pistols which is a group of gays who are pro-second amendment. Going by your reasoning, does this make you gay?

If you have to choose between legalizing all drugs or none where do you stand?

Tough call, but I suppose I'd be on the side of legalizing 'em all. Luckily, that's not the case. My problem is with the Federal involvement in the WOD. I think each state should set their owmn policies. In my idea of the ideal state, pot would be legal, harder stuff wouldn't be.
