Can agree with that. But what do you mena with "above your pay grade"? You sure must have a opinion in the legalization of selling hard drugs (in small quantities yet still from black market sources).
The push to destroy the millenia tried and proven model of male main bread winner that provides stability and plannability. The motivation to destroy the classic family structure. The ridiculous debate on gender inequality when it comes to pay which is an utter lie and in 99% non-existent. The push to maneuver women into ever higher corporate positions that most women are simply not interested in but would mean they sell out completely on family life and responsibilities at home. The push to force schools to keep kids ever longer, encouraging parents to work longer and spend less and less time with their own kids. The push to eradicate the very idea of marriage, enabling many couples to never get married and to instead live in wild relationships where anyone can leave whenever it is convenient, with kids present or not. The policies to legalize weed to ensure an entire population is constantly high and hooked. I can go on, but you get the gist.
I said PER CAPITA, the only measure that makes remotely sense. You should read more carefully. You are so full of yourself that you are unable to take in any other thoughts that are not your own. I have most certainly lived and worked in more countries than you have. I am not even a native English speaker. I probably also traveled to more countries than you have. And your entire point to talk about immigration in a thread on trickle down economics is idiotic to start with. .
My opinion is that everyone would be better off if black market drugs and general drug abuse did not exist. Utopia. And while I'm fairly confident that drug use should not in itself be considered a crime, I think that the sale of such black market hard drugs ought to be criminalized.
So, how do addicts then get access to their drugs? Are you postulating the legalization of hard drugs to be sold through government channels? That would mean a further erosion of our values and what we ought to fight for. Liberal policies encourage the exploration and execution of gender fluidity and conversion which often results in further confusion and loss of self-identity and subsequent escape into drugs. Should we not teach our kids that there are two genders, male and female. If you are born female you are a woman for life. If male then you are a man. If anyone struggles with that concept then I happily allocate parts of my tax dollars to support those who can't deal with that scientific fact. But what I can't agree with is how current tax revenues are allocated to liberal political causes that only further destroy society.
Yeah, I disagree with most of what you wrote here. But not interested in writing a book chapter to explain it.
The idea is for them to lose access to it and seek treatment and wean themselves off the shit. But not to criminalize them in the meantime. At least that's where I stand. Please stop catastrophizing. I'm probably older than you are, but you're the fuddy-duddy here.
How about having the government give drugs away. Yep for free. Spend the money spent on the War on Drugs on education and rehab. Take away the profit motive and no one will be trying to get you hooked. Problem solved!!
Okay, but I think it shows good form to charge them AFTER the crime has been committed rather than in anticipation of. Minority Report much?
