one last hug

No no, you're missing the point. It would be quality controlled and taxed up to the eyeballs, just like alcohol.

I've never understood why governments don't go for this. Like, hello? I'm willing to be taxed? Besides, imagine what it would do for the tourist industry. A weed-legal New Zealand would make Amsterdam look like a shithole.

Anyway, I'm getting off topic. Heroin? Now that's a different matter. That shit kills people. Nail the bastard to the cross.

Buddy, you should be in parliament.
What a great way to control the masses.
If all the drugs were legal but manufactured by the state they could be used to adjust the national mood as required;
disappointed about no tax cut? No worries, a bit more THC will help everyone chill out.
need to raise national productivity? A bit of speed to the mix should do the trick.

So all you 'hang 'em high' types know for a fact that he was aware of the mandatory execution policy? And if he didn't know, what's he supposed to do when he arrives and sees the signs, give himself up?
I think some of you really would benefit by seeing someone actually die. Until then, talk is cheap. (and easy)

[SixPackBack]

Right or wrong the sentence was carried out. The conversation over!

[bugjuice]

may be the two threads should be merged here..

I've said my piece on the other thread. Idiot deserves everything he gets.

Oh come on what retard wouldn't know that drug trafficing = death penalty.

I have to agree with you on seeing people executed ... When I was working in Saudi they had an execution most thursday afternoons in "chop chop square" - Quite graffic to see someones head get lopped off.

lou.
i've seen 5 people die, probably much less than an active policeman (or even traffic cop). 2 in my arms, one while i tried to staunch her bleeding from a massive head wound. i'm pretty aware of the value of life.
i also have 2 children, so feel for the boys mother.

my point isn't the crime and punishment.
it's that people commit crimes in other countries, then want to be tried in their own countries, or want special treatment because they are a foreigner.
he committed the crime in singapore, he needs to be ready for their laws.
do you not agree?

Yeah, I've seen people die - and it didn't make my talk any less cheap!

[ducatilover]

Yeah, it's just interesting to me to see how kiwis are condemning this guy, when WE live under such a lackadaisical justice system. Did ya hear that guy only got 5 years for that hammer attack, here in NZ today!

our justice system is not up to it, i know some man in wainui who got put away for attempted murder and got out in three years. wtf? he's a fucken insane bastard [and i broke his sons jaw so]. he should be put away for much longer than that, if only they could do him for the drugs he does the low life chainsaw totting scum

[ducatilover]

Ahh bollux. Define drugs. You mean that P crap that turns people into cabbages?

i am tempted to bad rep but i wont, i myself have been attacked by a P user.just because i looked at the fucker wrong, i noticed he was fidgity [sp] and looked for just a fraction too long and he attacked my, i cant remember how but i figure four arm bared him and his right arm probably still falls out of place. i also punched him in the ribs and broke a few of them aswell, then the security gaurd fella had him in a half nelson on the floor whilst i put my knee in the back of the P fucks throat to keep him down . not cool, i am against drugs [though alcohol is alright in small doses for me]

[bugjuice]

yup, all done and dusted.

[SARGE]

Again it goes back to the fact that the guy knew what the consequences for his actions were.


EDIT: err.. post was removed.. my bad..

goes back to the FAMOUS LAST WORDS THREAD

[ManDownUnder]

I feel sorry for the parents of the guy. It's not natural to bury your children, and I'm not sure if the sentence they got by virtue of this whole thing is fair.

Can't be avoided, but it's not easy all the same.

On the friendly immigration card as you land in Singapore:
"Welcome to beautiful Singapore - Death to drug traffickers!"
True.

[Lou Girardin]

Oh come on what retard wouldn't know that drug trafficing = death penalty.
.

What's the penalty in Turkey?

[inlinefour]

go to another country to commit a crime, then you have to accept the punishment. Sure the USA likes to tell other countries how to run their affairs, but who has the right to do that? In this country, yea I agree that the sentancing is week and pathetic. Our prisions are overfulled and inmates get compo??? One way to put people off doing crime could be death, would help make some room in prisons also
