Quote from TorontoTrader2:

It;s funny how the Death Penalty does nothing to stop murders. That's the harshish possible punishment but it doesn't work.

Only education works -- but that would cost too much...

I don't use or sell drugs, or steal cars, forge checks, or shoot people becuase I was educated in the different between right and wrong.

you speak the truth my friend but don't forget

lack of education is good for military + low wage work force needed to make stelar profits

Quote from thesharpone:

don't forget that most governments have taken both sides of the deal, they are the dealers and the warriors on drugs (to imprison those who try to sell drugs and are not of them)

this is done so no one else except them can enter this highly profitable market, plus they get to milk the public on taxes for fighting drugs

not many know this, not many at all

few kind of heard few things

but not many actually know this is a fact

just ask CIA

Well, about 18K murders annually compared to less than 100 executions? So basicly the capital punishment is non-existent.
Here is an idea! Let's execute every 2nd killers and see if that makes a difference. If not, we can abolish the death penalty...

One good thing about jail is it separates your friends from your true friends. If you are in jail, your friends will come and visit but your true friend will be right there with you saying "that was bitchin' "

Everyone should do hard time at least once...
To find out who your real friends are.

Yes, and to find out how your tax $$$ are working for you...

That is basic truth. Grab a gang banger and try him for murder and hang him publicly the next day right in his own neighborhood, murder rate would drop very fast.... after awhile nobody would be showing colors at all.... the way the US does punishment is a form of condoning..

Oh so true... I can attest to this

..also, a little bit of Jail time is good for you. It makes you stronger some what. I know it has for me.

Quote from 1Reason:

Pot is a gateway drug.

I have always heard that too. The justification is that every drug addict tried pot before he tried the other drugs, so therefore pot is a serious issue and leads to other drugs.

My only concern is that everyone I have ever know that did drugs said that pot was not the first thing they tried, alcohol was. Why isn't alcohol considered a gateway drug?

Quite right.

Except that countries that practice this are on the US most wanted list.
