I didn't say anything about right and wrong. I don't think taking drugs, not taking drugs, drinking alchohol is inherently right/wrong/whatever. Thier is not moral element here, it is a public safety and public order issue. I am talking about self defense, IE defending myself and my community from druggies and the spread of druggies.

define druggies for me please.

i would consider defending myself and my community from self-righteous ppl that wanna impose their limited view of the world.

Yeah, let's kill anyone doing something illegal. Speeding? The sniper rifle will pick you off.

By the same reasoning, let's not kill anyone doing something really illegal, let's let rapists, serial killers, OJ simpson out. We don't need deathrow inmates wasting tax-payers' money.

Seriously thou, we have to draw a line somewhere... and the line I'm drawing is different from yours. I also think that some prescription drugs (like oxycontin) are more dangerous than some illegal substances (like ganja).

 
Youre weighing apples and oranges there buddy. Speeding and drugs? Drugs play a major role in robberies, rapes, etc etc. Speeding? Yeah maybe a crash here and there, but not as bad as people sucking dicks so they can go out and buy drugs, or leaving their children at home alone in a sh1t infested house so they can smoke their one hit of crack after doing the guy for the drugs. Get a clue buddy.

Speeding is a top cause of automible accidents. Speeding kills much more than you consider. Ever ask yourself why ppl blow for drugs? Why children are neglectied b/c of drugs? Because there isn't enough money in education for these users. There isn't enough money to rehabing these users. Because they are illegal which makes them more sought after. Don't believe that, look at alcohol consumption between teens here and in Europe. Drugs are a problem, I'll admit it. But, how many years of fighting from one point of view with no results does it take for people to try a different approach?

Also, drug dealers rarely go door to door to sell their goods. People buy drugs...dealers don't take your money and leave you a bag out of good will.

So? we execute the drug dealers and try to educate and treat the drug abuser/addict. Sounds good to me.

All drug dealers are criminals and they deserve a special place in hell, and I think we should help them get there. They can smoke/snort/inject all they want there.


How about the people selling liquor at the grocery store? Get a clue...

All drug dealers are bad. Drug users may or may not be bad or just stupid.

Maybe the big guy getting 100 bricks from his mexican cousin is bad, but the guy that buys 2 bags so he can sell one to his friend who doesn't know anyone isn't so bad.

Would you feel the same way if that was said about you Homsexuals? I think not.


No, but I don't equate homosexuals with drug dealers. ....are you calling me a homosexual??
You aren't? Sorry, I must have you confused with another.

roll your eyes, but your making my point for me. no where in the constitution does it state that we're supposed to have an arbitrary drug war goin on😛

u'd think gun rights people would support legalizing drugs, its all about freedom right? 😛

if it were about the children we'd ban guns too😛

No instead you advocate Shooting Suspected Drug Dealers despite the fact that it would unconstitional to say the least. Do you also advocate changing the Constitution so that Government/Police Forces can be the Judge, Jury and Exectutioner too? Maybe you should contact the Attorny Generals Office, I'm sure they have an opening for such a promising Facist such as yourself.

Actually if you reference my previous post in this thread I don't advocate seriously any such thing particularly in our country, but I can understand wy the Thais are taking such extreme measures. Thier situation is much worse than ours.


*************Previous Post******************
If we say put a bounty in drug dealers heads, the first people to start rounding up these scum would be he people in thier communities who see the damage that the drugs are doing to thier homes. I'm not saying we should do it, since we have the whole rule of law thing in our country (thankfully), but I can understand why Thailand is taking such extreme measures. They have a serious epidemic on thier hands which is threateing the progress the have so painfully made in the last 10 years.
