homeschoolmom Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 [quote name='catholicinsd' post='1103209' date='Oct 28 2006, 11:12 AM'] Singapore has no morality, they only have OCD. When one sees a moral wrong he must correct it, not do nothing. [/quote] EXACTLY! The Singaporese government sees drug trafficking as a moral wrong; it's bad for a society and it's bad for individuals... and guess what? They do something about it. They don't do nothing. Glad to see you and Singapore are on the same side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you haven't figured it out by now, urban street gangs are the domestic side of the international drug trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winchester Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 We're talking about heroin abusers. Please stay within the stupid pillbox you put yourself in or just wave the white flag. You think drug traffickers aren't dangerous to the state or its citizenry once they are behind bars; I say you're wrong. And I think I could find some people who think firing a gun into the air is extreme. Ask the parent of a dead kid about that one. I would say the person is probably not dangerous enough to kill, though negligent homicide on that order would be a severe sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
