Debate thread.

I hardy think the legalization of drugs would worsen things. When it comes down to it, people who want to take drugs are going to do it. They don't care if its illegal or not. The people who don't take drugs have made the choice not to take them, and not because they are illegal.

I myself wouldn't start taking them if they were legal. If I wanted to do them, I'd be doing them right now. I've never heard a single person say "Man, I'd love to smoke some weed, if only it were legal."

I believe that those who do/don't want to do drugs have made their decision based on what they think is right or wrong, not on legalities.

Now, personally, I hardly care whether or not drugs get legalized, as it will have no impact on my life. People will do what they want, not what is legal or illegal. I don't have any links or statistics, these are just my thoughts on the topic, based on what I've observed about the lovely world around me.

._. staying out of this one with my conservative republican self, but if you must know, I shall vote no, they should not be legalized because (according to my morals) it is wrong.

By those standards, should processed foods, alcohol, and tobacco be illegal?

Drugs that arent dangerous should be lagalized at the very least.. Cmon, alchohol is legal over marijuana and mushrooms? Who comes up with these standards? Oh ya... The alchoholic america that first created these laws way back when. Check up on the consumption of alchohol years ago, it was enormous. Its ridiculous how unrealistic the laws are. Sigh

Lol typical leftish propaganda, they will try to tell you that you are in fact an elephant. Why are you an elephant? Because they say so, and billions of others. Can you name one policy of BNP which is right on any bloody scale, will ya?

en.m.wikiped.....tional_Party

Scroll down - see where it says Political Position - Far Right.

I can guarantee there is not a single political scientist that will tell you national socialism (or fascism) is on the left side of the spectrum.

It's understood that fascists are on the right. The BNP are fascists (they may disagree). The BNP are on the right.

"Scroll down, past the part about economic platform to the part about social and cultural platform. See the part about restricting healthcare, increasing the presence of the nuclear family, the xenophobic tendencies, and all the other crap that the Tories (your "right" party of choice) talk about?" - Soviets did increase their nuclear capabilities, are they right wing too? Restricting healthcare to non-nationals is wealth redistribution -> left. Xenophobic tendencies on the right? Right, lol Tories are not right anymore, they have too many left wing policies to call them right.

Can you name one single policy, please?

By your logic, if a significant number of people calls you a moron, you are a moron regardless of the actual facts. May I kindly remind you, that at some point of time significant number of people thought that Earth is flat? Fortunately, facts and logic proved them wrong.

processed foods sustain life even if they have a high fat content, but in my own opinion tobacco probably should be illegal and alcohol is ok as long as you're not drunk.

It would mean soft drugs are ok as long as you are not high...

A lot of people drink alcohol only because they want to get drunk... If they would not like to get drunk they would pick coke or juice to drink...

Lots of ifs and buts. Why not simply 'everything is ok as long as they are not forcing it down my throat, but theirs'?

anything that would cause you to be drunk and/or lose your self control=nope
self harm= nope

that's about it for me.

Man I can be drunk on my lady's hump, her lovely lady hump. Should that be banned?

Self harm? How about enforcing Halal or Kosher food?

I withdraw, my own standards should not be forced on others, it is a choice each person must make for themselves, but I know how I will live, and that is enough for me.

Would you want someone who was already a paranoid scytzofrinik, or that had some other serious mental disease to get ahold of mind altering drugs? Would you want someone who had a violent history to get ahold of mind altering drugs?

are you asking me? I'm going to vote no

They already can. If someone wants something, they're going to get it, whether its legal or not.

If these people want drugs, they'll get them. It doesn't matter whether its legal or not. I can guarantee there's a person with a violent history taking drugs right now, and it had nothing to do with legality.

If people want something, they'll find a way to get it, and they do. The law does not stop this.

I really appreciate that
