“I agree with the Singapore solution”

Serously...do you think the Bill of rights is just a of piece of paper?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_law_of_Singapore

Start that shit and you can COUNT on facism here...

And since even a DEATH PENALTY doesnt stop it...what’s next?...excecute their entire family?..their neighors?

Where does that maddness end?

WTF?

Ever been to Singapore? Ever discussed the matter with a Singaporean? Long story short is that in the early 1960's, about one-third of them were drug users and about 10% of them were seriously hooked. I'm not talking some soft drug like marijuana which simply makes you stupid and indolent, I'm talking about the hard stuff like heroin which makes you want to rob, rape or kill.

As my Singaporean friends told me, something had to be done, something soon and something draconian so it would work. They ended the problem in one generation.

Yes, there are still druggies in Singapore, but they are so few that resources are readily available for those who want off drugs. For those who want to continue, there are small islands off the coast of Singapore where they are exiled so they can continue to be useless without robbing their fellow citizens-- or worse.

As for the drug dealers, they hang maybe three to four dozen per year. That's a whole lot less than the number of drug related killings in any similar sized city in the United States.

As I said, I think marijuana should be treated outside this system, because potheads are too lazy to steal. However, I'm not aware of anyone in Singapore ever being hanged for dealing marijuana because the amount they would have to have is so large as to render this draconian penalty moot.
