Meh just another junkie getting what he deserves.
I don’t like the stuff but 25 years, you’d get less for murder.Meh just another junkie getting what he deserves.
I really detest that word.Meh just another junkie getting what he deserves.
Shocking view if you're being seriousMeh just another junkie getting what he deserves.
You really belive that?Meh just another junkie getting what he deserves.
I'm obviously not being serious.Shocking view if you're being serious
Sorry for not picking that up immediately, but you never know on the CafI'm obviously not being serious.
I used to self-medicate with potent weed for quite a lot years and grow my own. Including CBD plants although that was a bit boring.Sorry for not picking that up immediately, but you never know on the Caf

Nightmarish Disneyland version of the worldIt’s a weird place. Like a reasonably convincing stage set of Western society but with trapdoors through which you fall back to the Middle Ages.
What are you even trying to say here?Well as long as the drone strikes are on foreign soil hey?
Why?I really detest that word.
Am I American?Well as long as the drone strikes are on foreign soil hey?
I just think it's an insulting word to a group of people (drug addicts) who need help. I had a sister who died from a drug addiction, so when people use the word ‘junkie’ it just gets to me a bit that’s all. I’m probably just being soft.Why?
Fair enough - I’d only really associated “junkies” with people that’d rob their granny to pay for a hit, so not exactly “nice” people. Doesn’t mean they don’t need help in getting over their addiction.I just think it's an insulting word to a group of people (drug addicts) who need help.

Agree wholeheartedly, not a great word.I just think it's an insulting word to a group of people (drug addicts) who need help. I had a sister who died from a drug addiction, so when people use the word ‘junkie’ it just gets to me a bit that’s all. I’m probably just being soft.
Sorry to hear about your sister man. That's rough af.I just think it's an insulting word to a group of people (drug addicts) who need help. I had a sister who died from a drug addiction, so when people use the word ‘junkie’ it just gets to me a bit that’s all. I’m probably just being soft.
Would it make it (whatever it is) safer? Sounds like you like the idea of draconian eye for an eye penalties even if there isn't much due process or concept of justice. Personally I'd rather live in a place where some idiot who can't keep track of his stupidly expensive watch might get is back less often in return for a legal system fitting for the first world. And yes I have lived there.Not saying it’s right but Dubai/ UAE is insanely safe for this system. My uncle has left his £50k Rolex at a bar and picked it up the next day no issues.
Laws like this in UK would make it safer.
Except in the UAE rules are rules except when you are related to someone important or it is easier just to lockup the first convenient person to make the problem go away.Rules are rules.
Those countries are fecked up in so many more ways than just their laws. That's why I don't feel sorry for the guy, why even take a chance like that? He should have thrown it away the minute his "buddy" showed him the stuff. I don't agree one bit with their laws or their morals but the guy should have been smarter than this.Except in the UAE rules are rules except when you are related to someone important or it is easier just to lockup the first convenient person to make the problem go away.
I feel sorry for him but at the same time agree he was an idiot for taking the chance. When i went Qatar a few years back i left absolutely nothing to chance.Those countries are fecked up in so many more ways than just their laws.

If he knew of its existence and didn't flush it that was a very poor choice.Those countries are fecked up in so many more ways than just their laws.

I suppose they only have to make an example of one person to deter a thousand others.I remember going on holiday to Malaysia and the pilot announced, dear passengers if you brought cannabis or other drugs please flush it now, you will be sentenced to death were we're going.
This law seems ridiculously barbaric, but why the feck does his mate bring this stuff to a country like that. It's like walking into a mosque with a pint.
Those signed confessions and use of coercion are baffling to me though. It's like they really want people to be guilty of stuff.
I believe that's the Taliban's argument for parading beheaded corpses through the streets.I suppose they only have to make an example of one person to deter a thousand others.
Mmm not saying it’s right but it probably makes their job easier if they rule with an iron fist.I believe that's the Taliban's argument for parading beheaded corpses through the streets.
They don't give a feck as long as someone is guilty and punished.Those signed confessions and use of coercion are baffling to me though. It's like they really want people to be guilty of stuff.
Yeah I imagine autocratic rule is more convenient than listening to the annoying plebs all the time.Mmm not saying it’s right but it probably makes their job easier if they rule with an iron fist.
Egypt and UAE don't have the same laws as they are different nations.Harsh, that British woman few years ago in Egypt I think who had her husband's prescription drugs, can't remember the story exactly, but she got far less and was a harsh sentence at the time.

The point i was making that isnt this just first world moral relativism, chopping off hands / corporal punishment = medieval (evil) society you wouldnt want to live in. countered by the fact enlightened states like britain engage in lots of actions designed to maim and kill people who are suspected of offences, but not not given the benefit of a trial. we also live in a country where one our main elected representatives today wants our coastguard to be given immunity from killing refugees in the channel.Well as long as the drone strikes are on foreign soil hey?
I think we'd still buy oil from them if they had fairly liberal laws.The point i was making that isnt this just first world moral relativism, chopping off hands / corporal punishment = medieval (evil) society you wouldnt want to live in. countered by the fact enlightened states like britain engage in lots of actions designed to maim and kill people who are suspected of offences, but not not given the benefit of a trial. we also live in a country where one our main elected representatives today wants our coastguard to be given immunity from killing refugees in the channel.
im no fan of the arab states, but lets not pretend that somehow they are beneath 'us' (in the west), when its 'us' that have contributed and sustained their status for 'our' benefit.
Are you accusing the caf of being too lenient in it's criticism of UK, US or Western politics in general? I know I'm not holding back when I see something in the Westminster or US Politics threads to criticize and I don't have the impression others are either.The point i was making that isnt this just first world moral relativism, chopping off hands / corporal punishment = medieval (evil) society you wouldnt want to live in. countered by the fact enlightened states like britain engage in lots of actions designed to maim and kill people who are suspected of offences, but not not given the benefit of a trial. we also live in a country where one our main elected representatives today wants our coastguard to be given immunity from killing refugees in the channel.

Your initial post was in response to mine. I don't live in America or the UK so your 'clever' put down about drone strikes doesn't work.The point i was making that isnt this just first world moral relativism, chopping off hands / corporal punishment = medieval (evil) society you wouldnt want to live in. countered by the fact enlightened states like britain engage in lots of actions designed to maim and kill people who are suspected of offences, but not not given the benefit of a trial. we also live in a country where one our main elected representatives today wants our coastguard to be given immunity from killing refugees in the channel.

i wasnt trying to make a clever putdown, its interesting you see my comment in that way.Your initial post was in response to mine. I don't live in America or the UK so your 'clever' put down about drone strikes doesn't work.
I'd also suspect much like hand-lopping you'll find it quite rare to see anyone defending drone strikes.
