Overused expression but 'the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results'. That applies very neatly to every single genius on here saying either 'just bang 'em all up', 'make prison sentences LONGER!' or 'make prisons into hell holes and remove everyone's rights, that'll learn them!'.

Re: Death Penalty
I mean, the suggestion is there in the post. You could always read it and then comment.
But either way, your ideas have been proven not to work so why do you propose the same stuff again? If you have a headache and find that punching yourself in the face doesn't relieve the symptoms, do you a) stop punching yourself in the face or b) say 'well what ELSE am I going to do, eh?' without considering any other options? Obviously you're gonna say b) but just laying it out there how daft that looks.

Re: Death Penalty
If you read my comment specifically relating to drugs you will see my suggestion that decriminalisation plus NHS supply of drug, combined with rehab was what I suggested. Helping rather than punishing those caught up in the cycle. Perhaps not down to them but the circumstances in which they find themselves.

BUT, having put such a system in place there will be those that choose to ignore it and still supply drugs for their personal gain. These people should be removed from society as they don’t have any other interest other than peddling death and misery. Lock em up as they are beyond rehabilitation. Who gives a sh*t about them, they don’t for anyone else. Don’t give a toss if it done work so long as they are off the streets and unable to continue their disgusting trade.

Re: Death Penalty
Are you counting legal painkillers etc to that list mr doh nut? As they are the the highest percentage of addictive drugs in the UK
Do the GP’s and hospital drs etc need a long stretch inside to reflect why they are pushing these on people

Re: Death Penalty
By and large I’m happy to accept decisions made by the medical profession when prescribing drugs. Not too sure they constitute being drug dealers peddling all sorts of illegal sh*t on street corners. But fair enough if you view them that way.

Re: Death Penalty
So prescribing addictive drugs to alleviate pain, and for no personal financial gain is equally as bad as selling drugs mixed with all sorts of sh*t to kids on street corners, for money are the same, fair enough.

No I’m not missing your point, I’m choosing not to get involved in some spurious discussion that is intended to simply dig at the medical profession for reasons known only to you. I guess you have some personal axe to grind.Lucky7 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 08, 2019 6:55 pm Your missing the point as per usual

I prefer to differentiate between legally prescribed, well tested and manufactured drugs prescribed by professional people for medical reasons, despite all drugs having potential side effects and scumbag dealers peddling sh*t product for personal profit irrespective of the carnage it creates.

If you have kids over the age of 16, there's a good chance they've bought from dealers. There's a chance they've bought from dealers on behalf of mates, making them dealers in the eyes of the law.

Re: Death Penalty
There is a major opiate crisis in the USA, due it is said, to the over-promotion of prescription drugs by the pharma companies. Medical staff have to go out on patrol with police units to inject people who have passed out in the street with an antidote.

Re: Death Penalty
I think you’re right. Perhaps after a smack on the wrist and a warning they should be given the chance to mend their ways. Those that do, great, we can forgive them for countless ruined lives.

Re: Death Penalty
Exactly what I’ve said twice. Just for you I’ll say it three times. Addicts need help and compassion. The dealers are the ones Who need sorting, the peddlers of death for money. But, give them a chance to change, if they don’t then treat them the same way they treat the addicts, with contempt plus a long prison sentence. Dealers are scum profiting from the suffering of others. The addicts are the victims.Disoriented wrote: ↑Mon Jul 08, 2019 8:41 pmThey need compassion and a helping hand not to be beaten with a societal stick.dOh Nut wrote: ↑Mon Jul 08, 2019 8:30 pmI think you’re right.

Re: Death Penalty
Why not just put the dealers out of business by legalising the stuff so the "victims" can get their stuff clean, tested, taxed (if necessary), and safe from the need to deal with criminals with all the risks that entails?
You can still make dealing without a licence illegal if it floats your boat - but squeezing them out of business seems to me to be the best way to handle the problem.
