absolute certainty if you get caught...
I am for immediate death sentence to drug traffickers..
Yeay!!I mean BOOOOO!!..er...nevermind.
We have over a half million people in prisons for drug offenses. Coddling prisons, I guess.
China executes them in great numbers, yet judging from the numbers presented in the article - it sounds like they're fighting a losing battle as well.
Maybe if they (and us, of course) increase the executions ten fold or a hundred fold we can finally get people to restrict their consumption to government approved substances.
Yeah, Randy "Duke" Cunningham was very pro-death penalty for drug dealers, too. Well, that is, until his son was caught smuggling 400 lbs. of marijuana into the country in a twin-engine airplane.
"anti-drug day"
soon to come:
"the great smoke-out day" - 10 smokers will have their heads ventilated in a messy way.
"excercise for health day" - A dozen fatties will be hung with an industrial crane
"take your kid to work day" - but only if it's an unwanted female baby.
Won't stop a darn thing. Another just takes their place. As long as there is a monetary reward to be had, risk takers will continue. The demand must be curbed, and the traffickers will stop. Or just legalize it all...........
And if you have no connections with the Communist authorities. Somehow, I don't think the kids of Party Officials will get the same treatment.
"I am for immediate death sentence to drug traffickers.."
Half a million in prison after they are put on withdrawer programs that waist millions of tax money. They are coddled no doubt.
In travelling to India four times in the last six years, I have stopped for refuels and changeovers in Taipei (Taiwan) and Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). One of the last things you hear from the flight crew, and one of the first things you see when you walk through the ramp door into the terminal, is this:
DRUG TRAFFICKING IS PUNISHABLE BY DEATH
Or
DRUG TRAFFICKING CARRIES A MANDATORY SENTENCE OF DEATH
they get executed for drugs?!!!
wow!
how many strikes before they are out?
I see China is living in the dark ages still... We are no different... the war on drugs is hopeless, the only way to beat it is to legalize drugs... crazy as it sounds, government tax revenue could pay for treatment and education awareness... and save a ton of money in prisons.
"You tell 'em! Who needs a trial, eh? Just line 'em up and shoot 'em, eh? Then we'd be keeping up with the Communist Chinese justice system, eh?
Yeah...you tell 'em!"
This coming from somebody who wrote that he opposes the death penalty.
I'm sure they were all tissue typed first.
Starting with the folks at Phillip Morris, Anheuser-Busch, and Folger's?
