Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) Did you just completely gloss over what the issue is? I showed you the things that need to be addressed to somewhat even things out. Could you respond to my previous point on fixing the problem of you don't mindI am all for ending the war on drugs. I also support changing some of the goofy thing we do in our criminal system. You seem to think that I will be opposed to your ideas, but I am open to all of the ideas that you have stated. So, okay, lets do that. I think that people like me get hit with a significant amount of blame for the plight of black people yet we have very little influence on the complaints. The police officers that usually arrest black people work for police departments that are run by chiefs that we don't appoint, appointed by mayors that we don't elect, in cities that we have no political influence. How should I go about getting the Cleveland police department to stop employing hotshot cops who put newbie cops in impossible situations that get kids killed?How does someone like me get the Baltimore Police department to not 'take people for a ride'? Again, a city with a chief whose appointment I couldn't influence, and mayor whose election I couldn't affect.Chicago...Atlanta...New York...LA....etc...

If they do stupid **** while on them then they'll be arrested and prosecuted, just as already happens with drunks. Regulate them so people know what they're getting and that it isn't dangerous and tax them. capologist and falconsd56 like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prohibition may be done with good intentions but it's a clear cut example of unintended consequences. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meth is illegal in Amsterdam too Edited January 4, 2016 by Worzone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 4, 2016 Im all for that. Meth is illegal in Amsterdam tooThe issue with meth is around the people it can harm. If a meth lab screws up... it can contaminate the area and cause a lot of damage. I can agree with something like meth. The other stuff, meh go for it. I would say replace the prisons with addiction centers, but that would just lead to corps abusing that too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have people losing their minds and eating other people's faces. But drug centers are a good idea, but at the same time. If you go back to it after being cleaned you go to prison.

Posted January 5, 2016 When I was like 10, I did a report that touched on Satanism in popular music. My primary source was Tipper Gore's book, Raising PG Kids in an X-Rated Society. For a smart kid, I was really ******* stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
