At least Canada is on the right track. Can get arrested: true. As fast/often as you would in the US: false.

I have been to Tiawan they have signs all over the place that say drug possesion is punishable by death. Also they do give people life for drug use.

If you really believe that, come done here and inject your self with some coke in front of a cop and see what happens.

Vancouver is the only place I know that?s laxed on some drugs, but I doubt they look the other way for all cases.

BTW, Bowling for columbine was also a documentary? how did you like that one?

Mill basically covered everything. :beer:

EDIT: Jail time for possession is very lax compared to drug dealers, thats where the courts try to stop everything... or so says my law teacher.

If all the druggies move to Canada, just another reason to nuke canada!

That's the dumbest thing I've heard this week. I'll even grant you the argument that they can't stop. However, who makes the initial choice? Did someone stick a needle in their arm the first time against their will? Did someone jam the straw up their nose the first time? Have these people been living on another planet and are simply not aware of the consequences of drug use? Do these people not understand it's addictive?

Your argument is like me killing someone and then complaining that being in prison isn't my choice. Certianly I wouldn't be choosing every day to be in prison but I made the initial choice which I knew could very well take me there.

There are atleast atleast 3 countries which share your opinion, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Iran. All three execute drug dealers. Infact, they execute them just weeks after they have been arrested, no long drawn out trials. Despite UAE having extremely strict anti drug trafficking laws, it is the biggest entry point of drugs into the Middle East.

Bahahahaha, What country is this "Tiawan" you're talking about?

I was born in Taiwan, I should know that they don't kill people for drugs,

According to Taiwan's law, a drug user is considered a criminal. But to give users a chance to rehabilitate before being branded as full- fledged felons, the corrections center program was introduced in May of 1998. It uses a "three strikes" program which sends users for 15 to 30-day stays in corrections centers after their first two offences, though center officials admit that some inmates stay longer. On the third offence, a user will be indicted for drug abuse and, if found guilty, sentenced to prison.

Sounds similar to US. Stop making false statements. Maybe you were in that back water country called China. I think they execute people there for robberies.

Mill I saw the documentary. It was in vancover. Teens where shooting heroin with a needle in front of the police station, and when the police walk out they just ignored them. They also said no one has gone to jail in canada for narcotic usage. I can really see it now. In 2006 children will be able to get high off of fantanyl lollypops in canada.

Dude.. You appear to be really stupid. Maybe you should just go to Canada and shoot heroin.

You know what? Let's execute for all crimes. Then we will have no crime! And also, let's execute stupid people with poor grammar skills.. clean you out of the gene pool!

If all the druggies move to Canada, I can see how it would negatively affect the US economy and encourage you remaining white trash to clamor for a war.

Anyways, you can bet that with the registration of Canada's guns complete, confiscation doesn't lie far away.

You have to register you guns in the US too, and a Class 3 license isn't cheap now is it?

Sorry, we don't register guns in my America. Maybe you do things different in Alabama, but here in Texas, there's no such thing as firearms registration. A database of gun owners can only be used against those gun owners, it can do no good.

The US is not solely made up of Texas my friend. Guns are registered in the US. Why play semantics over it? Most states require registration, and what states don't require a license to carry concealed or otherwise?

Not most, few. 35 states require no registration or licensing for all guns.

Is Tiawan a country like ours? No. Does Tiawan believe in Civil Liberties? No. Again, how will doing what Taiwan does help America? You don't stop addicts by arresting or jailing them. People are successful at maintaing their addictions in prison at all times. You don't think prisons have drugs?

That is just a ridiculous notion. There are no drugs in prison. That's the point of prison. Otherwise there would be guns and hookers in prison too.

AIEEE OH NOESS!!!!! i seriously was pinching myself on this one...i cant believe someone this stupid is allowed to post on ATOT....
wtf.. wtf wtf wtf...WOW WOW WOW...im speechless.. after reading all of your posts i realize that i'm really not that dumb. you should take in on info some more and not be stuck on what you think is right..

Acting as if speeding is a moral issue is ridiculous. Selling drugs, knowing that you ARE hurting or killing someone is totally different.

Users SHOULD be locked up. If you lock up enough of them, you will eventually damage the drug market a lot, as well as stop all those people from using drugs. It's debatable whether or not prison is better for them than drugs, but it's certainly a helluva a lot better for ME, so that Johny Pothead isn't stealing my stereo for a fix.

johnny pothead stealing your stereo for a fix???

uhh...NOT likely there buddy...

 

[Nebor]

I don't really care what people do with drugs, I'm totally indifferent. I don't even care if people want to kill one another, as long as it's not me. I'm just concerned with my own little slice of reality, and not much else. I generally vote for the guy with the best tax cuts. I have absolutely no regard for the future, or future generations. I'm a very selfish, self centered person, and I'm absolutely fine with that.

I argued because I was bored. It was pretty careless arguing, and that doesn't mean that the anti-drug position is 'wrong' it just means that I'm not qualified to defend it. Imagine that...

BTW, Mils, you sure are a big man.

And where the hobo heroin addict that you hit with a baseball bat gets free health care from the government, while you get a free prison cell from the government??!?!?!

When can I move?

How does Canada's drug related crime rates compares to the US's? I am researching this now. I will post anything I find.

This just in! VTboy is an idiot.

I found this..

Canada has a lower violent crime rate compared to the US. This is contrary to what one would expect if "unpoliced" drug use drove violent crime rates.
