Death Penalty: Would it work?

[dormiles]

Just make them work harder. We won't need to import nike and adidas stuff from china.

Looking at your last 300 posts I know that 286 have been made between 8:00am and 6:00pm Monday to Friday. On that basis I feel I know you well enough to say that your bored at work.

 

I like that song you've linked to in your signature

But they are enough. Many countries with a death penalty for drug dealing, still have drug dealers.

 

I think you'll find it's all.

 

All Countries that impose prison sentences for drug dealing still have drug dealers too.

 

Perhaps you wish to argue that imprisonment doesn't solve the problem either so we should abandon the inhumanity of imprisonment?

 

Fines and Community sentences don't lead to an eradication of drug use or dealing ban fines and non-custodial sentences too?

 

Legalise drug use and you will still have dealers to satisfy the market that is forbidden by legal regulation, evasion of duties/taxes, selling to minors etc.

 

Legalise drugs and impose no regulation at all might work ???

You respect them more than I do if 'idiot' sums it.

 

I was going to type "****ing idiot ********" but you see what happens if I try.

There is only one reason to use mind altering drugs and that is the user is a bloody idiot.

 

caffeine, alcohol, anti-depressants?

[flamingjimmy]

Its bad enough when we get people calling for the death penalty for murderers, but Drug dealers? Seriously?

 

What century is this?

[TJC1]

If we introduce the death pen for drug dealers then we should cut thiefs hands off, then if we do that we should also castrate kiddy fiddlers..its never ending..so

 

A better alternative is to set-up workhouses, like victorian days, and put the criminals to work 12 hours a day!

Actually, when drug use was legalised and regulated, those problems barely existed at all. There's no reason to assume that they would if we went back to such a system.

Do you find 'dealers' selling tobacco and alcohol?

No? I guess you're fears are probably unfounded then.

Alcohol and tobacco are legal and regulated but that doesn't prevent the smuggling of these products to evade duty does it?

 

Children are meant to be denied access to the aforementioned products but they are illegally supplied to them are they not?

 

City and town centres experience low level violent crime and public disorder at 'chucking out' time when the pubs and clubs regurgitate ( I use the word advisedly ) their drunken (and drugged?) clients onto the streets.

 

Unless you advocate the State Supply of unlimited supplies of ANY drug to ANYONE on demand at negligible cost there will exist a market to supply the demand unfilled by the State.
