Banning party pills - a silly idea?

[Conquiztador]

Hey, I could work at rehab somewhere - wouldn't be to much work though and it would be a cruisy number eh??

Right. I can see that you have the skills...

[scumdog]

How long we had party drugs? 5 years? Are you gonna show me any evidence that something in NZ has gotten worse because of it???

And by no coincidence how long has the drinking age been 18??

Ask any cop who has to pick up party-pilled out and drunk teenagers what their thoughts are, I put money on it they will be thinking pretty much the same as me.

Ask them what things were like pre party pills and pre18 year old drinking age and they will also tell you the same.

I work out there, I don't need any pressure or brain-washing to tell me what goes on or how things go.

BTW: Due to my comments and their observations my sons (22 and 17) don't do shit that adles their mind barring the odd boozy night out.

Their comment? - "Dad, there are people out there taking drugs and pills and the ones that do it the most are the ones I reckon shouldn't be doing them".

WHO deals with 'reality'??

D'you think somebody TOLD me the shit I've been talking about?? my 'blue' mates? get a grip.

I don't need anybody to 'encourage' my view - I see it as it is, always have, always will.
Had the same attitiude when I was a freezing worker, woollen mill worker or whatever.

That really brings up something that needs a thread of it's own (or even a site of it self, I am sure there are ones already)

Reality. What is reality? You would know when interviewing 2 ppl at a scene that seldom they have seen the same thing. They will give you their reality. Then you will interpret (sp?) your reality from that. Suddenly we have 3 realities.

One that many have experience of is a breakup. There is always 2 sides. You are 100% sure that your side is true. But same can be said about the other...

And scummy, we all base our opinions on something. Our subconcious is directing this. Here: Tell a child that he is useless for years and he will believe that he is. Tell him for years that he is just awesome and he will believe that. Sadly same thing applies when in the blue. And I am not blaiming you. Not at all. But there is a view that becomes a norm. And it will colour your thinking. And it is not only associated to police, it works in most professions.

Back to reality. You have 5 people in a room and you have 5 realities.

And THAT is one of the skills of my job - finding out from those 5 what the true reality is.

And fending off the others that think their 'reality' is the truth.

A trait you gain from being on this planet for more than a few years...

And a break up? _ just like any other job I attend "There is always two sides to every story" - and any cop will tell you the same.

And you recon those will stop because party pills are banned?? There will always be ppl using drugs. And they will go for the ones that are easiest to get. So stop the party drugs at the shops, they will get something from the street corners.

This thread was about party drugs, you and me have touched on many other issues, but coming back to the initial question: My answer is still NO, it is a mistake!

They banned the casual buying of AK47s a few years back, I've noticed they're not so common these days...

And people haven't moved on to MP5s, M16s, Mac10s or whatever you perceive as worse than AK47s..

Again I expected more from you. But that is what the assumption does to you.

How many AK47 manufacturing cottages have you busted lately???

And in my earlier post I said:
"And in NZ I can recollect 2 girls who have died as a possible result of party drugs. How many die every weekend as a result of alcohol?"

You never commented re that. Wonder why? I have a suspicion that you also use alcohol. Therefore trying to ban it might be seen as strange... But let's ban party drugs as I don't use them anyhow!!

[Conquiztador]

Hey easy on 'your silly self' eh - it could be seen as being name calling.

But on topic: ban booze and any other mind -bending supstances and I'd almost be out of a job.

And if I was? - well if the drugs/booze were gone I'd be happy, I'd get another job, after all, I have only 5 - 10 years before I retire anyway so anything to keep me busy and pay would do.

LOL. If I wanted to call you names you would not have to guess.

Get this; I would like a world without the problems booze and drugs create for children. But I am realist. It will not happen. (Once again my solution to ALL the worlds problems: If every parent took care of their kids all our problems would be gone). So I settle for the second best: A world where we have some controll over the azzwipes who care more re drugs then life. By stopping party drugs we are back to square one.

What now MR Scummy? Legalise dope...

And re you working in a rehab. Cant be bothered searching, but I am sure you pointed out that you dislike people on drugs and that you have to deal with them on regular basis. Right. Just the kind of person that really has compassion we want working in a rehab...

Bedtime. But have just purchased a bike!! (Well, one more that is...)

Anyhow, missed this gem.

You have 5 people and you get the info outta them. That becomes your reality. Not the truth. Sadly as someone is in the force he has the right to decide what is reality.

[dangerous]

fark me, you guys just put ya post counts through the roof...

You are just a puppet spewing out what the force is telling you to do. Do me a favour and go away and come back when you have your own opinions.

Na, sorry man but you defnitly have that all wrong, I wont explain...

As for the rest of your anti copper post, well you obvisiouly have never gotten to know the right people possiby cos you only asociate with your own kind, HOWEVER I would agree when it comes to the big wigs some of them I would to never trust eg; the Scott Watson case... how ever like every thing in this world its the minority screwing it for the majority.

Now you mentioned your job, what is that? this way we will have a beter understanding of where ya comming from.

[Sparrowhawk]

I know a great way to get high. Jump on yer bike, and go for a blat on the open road. Legal, and a shite load more fun!
I agree with Sugilite, I tried them once, felt like absolute crap for a week.

[jonbuoy]

Good riddance - they were shit anyway.

Legal only depending on how you ride !

[Hitcher]

There are several words that can be used to describe people incapable of having fun without consuming mind-altering substances. And people incapable of taking responsibility for their actions.

These "folk" should all be deported to Afghanistan, where mind-altering drugs are like really cheap and where there's a like really good cellular network so they can text each other as well. Like.

True - if you can't have fun with a cup of coco and a copy of Roget's Thesaurus there must be something wrong with you.
