We agree about the futility of the war on drugs. How do we stop it?

  • THE PROFIT MOTIVE!?

    Not welfarism, a lack of personal responsbility and kid glove approach on felons and criminals? So people who make money are now to blame? HUH!

  • Perhaps the only time I have ever completely agreed with one of your videos.

  • This bullshit corporatist economy has skewed the profit motive and mutated it from something that drives people to serve others in their own self-interest to something that drives people to exploit others for their own monetary gain. When you hear the words "public-private partnership", RUN! There are some things that, whether you think they ought to exist or not, most certainly ought NOT exist for private profit.

  • @hitssquad cirrhosis is mainly from obsessive drinking. I'm not saying people in Muslim Countries are MASSIVE drinkers. i'm saying i'm pretty certain that there is still some people drinking. You can get Cirrhosis from casual drinking, but its very rare to happen. And as you stated, you can get it from hep C as well.

  • @Ryoka242 "So is there still people drinking in a Muslim country? I'm sure there is"

    Then maybe you haven't checked the cirrhosis rates. Or you might want to check that again: nationmaster. com/graph/ mor_fib_and_cir_of_liv-mortali­ty-fibrosis-cirrhosis-liver

    United States: 14,003 deaths

    Qatar: 7 deaths

    .

    Egypt is number one in liver disease because of epidemic Hepatitis C.

  • @j0hnwi11iams Today, people are bribed (by various welfare programs) to be drug users. They aren't punished. If they are arrested, they are let go if they turn state's evidence on the party above them in the supply chain.

    .

    "legal consequences are even further removed from consideration."

    How would I know that, if it's never been tried -- except in Muslim nations where it has always worked flawlessly?

    .

    "Punishment is costly"

    ...About 3 cents for .22 LR or 40 cents for 12-gauge buckshot.

  • @hitssquad well listen up.. this isnt a Muslim Country. This is America. We have thousands more freedoms than the Muslim world would ever dream about. If they want to Physically punish their citizens for drinking, then they can go ahead and take away their liberty. So is there still people drinking in a Muslim country? I'm sure there is, just not many people getting caught anymore.

  • @Ryoka242 "Prohibition [...] didnt work"

    Prohibition didn't prohibit alcohol consumption. Famously, wine-making kits were even legal during so-called "Prohibition". The Muslim world has real alcohol prohibition: 80-lashes for initial offences, then the death penalty. It works.
