I do not see any reason why anyone would resort to drinking alcohol that's correct. But of course you do, so explain it to me then. Oh, sorry, you're lazy, forget it.
just like you do not see any reason why people drink it is also equally possible, there may be other who see no reason why peddlers shouldnt be amputated and thrown in a garbage compactors with mixture of corrosive acid and televised live prime time.

First I quote you on your 2 remarks

If you are trying to say that capital punishment in itself is a sign that it is a backward country, then I agree BTW.
you imply capital punishment is backward
you again reinforce it below

Stoning is also a possible solution but a backward solution, like capital punishment, so what's your point?
again I can safely assume according to you capital punishment is backward, in other words you don’t want to punish the a psychopath as it is directly evident from your reply above since it is very backward. Ok now let us look closely at your hypocritical stmt below

This is a very clear example where criminals and wrongdoers needs to be. ie inside the jail and not outside in the society fucking you in ass as you would prefer.
Dangerous psychopaths needs to be taken out of society as long as they are dangerous, that is not in dispute, so what's your point?
Suddenly you did a Houdini (which I am sure mandrake would appreciate very much). It’s a clear 180degress gymnastics turn by your comment in the quote above. I am curious to know the extremely clear rational logic of yours which make you refute your own self claim of “capital punishment being backward”, but suddenly accepts “Dangerous psychopaths needs to be taken out of society”.
I can only speculate that all this while you where under the influence under some potent drugs, I sincerely hope that is not the case as I would like to hear what you have to say. I could wait for a few days until the effects of the drug wears off from your blood stream.

The argument started when Master claimed all drug dealers should be shot. The counter argument was "Why should we not also shoot alcohol vendors and car dealerships". The logic behind this is that cars and alcohol kill far more people than drugs.
this is not a logical comparison by any means even by a long shot. Again you are taking deaths, not number of people affected by drugs and their inability to functions as normal persons in the society. Your comparison of “alcohol vendors and car dealerships” has had me stunned, there is no upper bound to the level of stupidity humans can achieve, I give you that with ease.
Unlike bezerker I do wanna stop crime and not let some1 stick a knife in me or rob me and get away with it. So if a crime is committed, a mechanism must be in place to swiftly take action as to deter such crimes from occurring in the future by a significant margin.
A drug dealer gets his stuff from illegal channels, which is drug money. This obviously comes from drug lords across the borders thru some illegal channels. These drug lords are hardcore criminals ( I donot have proof puk, but please try to mess with them and if you live to tell a tale please we would very much like to hear about it), merciless. Nevertheless it is illegal business to sell banned drugs. Even if the process was legal there would still be some looser in the back alley selling it.
Alcohol is something that is brewed legally and transported thru an established supply chain vis warehouses. its business is legal. Similar scenario for cars too.
So then your question “Why should we not also shoot alcohol vendors and car dealerships" is then naively simple because those are legitimate business. Whereas the other procured thru illegal channels are not. Second it is manufactured in an industry rather thru regulated policies of the govt and can be held accountable. Eg if you died of alcohol poisoning or found a rat in your beer can you can sue. Likewise you can do the same within a reasonable time frame from a cardealer too(but I admit some of these dealers are real assholes after its sold) . No such mechanism exists for drugs.
So by awarding punishments to dealers, you can control the illegal profits that the drug baron is enjoying. Not only that you reduce gang and drug related violence which is a problem, because they fight among themselves for territorial footholds for distribution. You are infact sending a direct message back to the hard to catch baron.
Before you have a knee jerk reaction and come with more half baked replies, I would suggest to read my replies closely and think as much as you can with your brains and come back with a sensible reply.

again you provide some stupid link and try to fit the link based on your petty stupid immature logic. Netherlands gets its revenue from tourism, tourists who go there to do drugs and sex.
Speaking about stereotypes! Most tourists come to the Netherlands for the beach and flowers and such. BTW it is not a country for which tourism is vital, like Spain or Turkey.
you are wrong again. "Accounting for 38 percent, the hotel and restaurant sector accounted for the lion’s share of Dutch tourist spending".
berzerker wrote:

thats incorrect again, tourism is vital in Netherlands too.
"Spending on tourist goods and services is very sensitive to the economy. The economic recession in the first years of the millennium went hand in hand with a decrease in tourist consumption after 2001"
"Spending on tourist goods and services is very sensitive to the economy. The economic recession in the first years of the millennium went hand in hand with a decrease in tourist consumption after 2001"
"The contribution of tourism to the total gross domestic product (GDP) rose to 3.2 percent, the same as in 2001"
Lets compare this for a country like Thailand which is totally reliant on tourism
"Tourism is a major economic factor in the Kingdom of Thailand, contributing an estimated 6.7% to Thailand's GDP in 2007"
bit dated to 2000, but you can only expect it to increase

You cannot prevent crimes unless maybe you are willing to live in a 1984-like state. In your reasoning why should you not kill every offender / criminal, irrespective of the nature of the crime? For if you don't they could do it again. People make mistakes, and many crimes are pretty harmless / technical. Drugs is a fine example, why are drugs considered evil by the legal system but not alcohol / tobacco? There is no logic in that.
Your witness.

And if drugs would be freely available, would there still be such damage? It would probably be very cheap in the shops, no need to steal or lie any more.
In that case it should be regulated and purchased from a shop like alcohol where you need to show your id. It would probably be good, as that would remove a sizeable chunk of peddlers from the chain. It still makes it illegal for peddlers to sell drugs. Being an adult yes you are responsible and buy it from any store like jewel osco or wallgreens. But as a teenager you are extremely vulnerable and naive. you have no business to be around those drugs. By awarding brutal punishments to peddlers it would crub the tendency to look for peddling as a source of income. In either case legalized or not the common denominator that harsh punishments be awarded to peddlers still remains constant. The only change is it makes it easier for adults with ids to procure them.
So we agree that legalisation with additional regulations, like with alcohol, would be pretty good solution? Then I do not understand why you made this fuss when I compared drugs and alcohol and you compared (use/sale?) of drugs with murder (mass murder even) instead, we could have spared ourselves the time spent on this discussion.
Sale is no real problem any more of course once it is legalised, no more than illegal sale of booze and tobacco are problems now.
We could still make a distinction between hard drugs (cocaine, heroin etc) of the one hand an soft drugs (marihuana etc on the other), but since the bulk of the users limit their use to soft drugs, the bulk of the problem has been taken away anyway.

It did not occur to you that you can remove the danger to society posed by someone in other ways than by killing him? And I wrote as long as they are dangerous for a reason. Many criminals have psychological problems (these psychologist you know will confirm this) and may be curable, and if it isn't, it may disappear over time (elderly are usually much less criminal than younger people) and if neither of these applies you could lock them up for good. I had expected this to be obvious, my mistake.

thanks. So I did talk about killing dealers, not murderers and rapists first. So whts wrong with that? Did I violate some strange laws in doing so? Or was I supposed to discuss
murderers, rapists, dealers? murderers, dealers, rapists? rapists, murderers, dealers?
rapists, dealers, murderers? Would the change of sequence have made it acceptable?
Anyways you see the same fked up logic of bezerker again “You cannot prevent crimes unless maybe you are willing to live in a 1984-like state.” Always picking extreme singularities to justify his crazy logic. Eg “You cannot avoid bugs in games unless you don’t buy games” so bezerker please do not buy any games all at unless maybe you are willing to live in a 1984-like state

hold on, if that would make a good solution or not is not my primary concern. You accidentally left the important part of the quote, which is

If you are fine with this, we can discuss at a later time leisurely when deemed appropriate about the other pretty good solution.

threshold model should be very easy to digest because the same threshold is used to classify genocide (killing innocents in mass). So its just another threshold that awards death for bad crimes ( insert dealers..etc and other heinous crimes)

may be curable and may not be. but i would prefer if my taxes where better used to swiftly silence such psychopaths and save the maintenance costs on science research and Dev, or rehabilitation housing for the poor or other nobler activities. perhaps a certain random percentage of them could be used for gene research to prevent such cases from happening in the future. in that case yes I fully agree with you the execution could be temporarily halted. otherwise it is simply an inefficient solution. jails are getting crowded, too many people on the earth, strained resources. this is just my humble opinion.

More than half in the US apparently, I'd say that's quite a lot. Numbers in the UK do not seem too different. Most marihuana by the way, so no problem there, this is harmless stuff, tobacco or vodka is probably more dangerous and certainly more addictive. What's your problem with marihuana anyway, other than that you live in a country in which it happens to be illegal (free country, WTF)?
He stated that everyone in a country has, which is double the claims that you show. I never denied that people do drugs, nor that it was less than half, I only said that not everyone in the country does drugs. Not to mention, we are speaking directly of hard drugs (at least I was), not marijuana, tobacco or alcohol.
Besides, you are going to side with a guy who doesn't understand why people drink but wants to legalize hard drugs because he thinks they aren't that bad for you (which is ludicrous as it's medically documented of the effects of all harder drugs).

I wasn't, way to discuss, making vital assumptions without specifying them. I am not against banning hard drugs, I am saying that applying the same rules to marihuana etc as to hard drugs is absurd. So basically we agree.
