Prison sentences don't seem to do much here in the US, just ask any of the idiots currently hooked on meth and heroin, not to mention all the opiate painkillers.

The problem isn't the supply, despite what I posted previously. People nowadays do not value life - this is the reason for the heroin epidemic just as much as it's the reason for all the school shootings. People do not value life.

Until that changes, it doesn't matter what you do to the drug dealers, there will be replacements the next day.

ok so first his land destabilizes foreign countries so that warlords have easy play with the farmers who they pressure into producing opium which is sold back to usa, and now he believes the problem goes away by killing a few street dealers? classic.

Maybe corporeal punishment would be a good idea...caning or flogging might be efficient.

While I certainly appreciate your sarcasm, I believe you missed the point; which is that a great deal of people nowadays do not value life.

Well they might learn to appreciate it after a sound caning. And that would certainly make more sense than locking them up with other criminals. Prisons are schools of crime after all.

Lol. Thanks for reminding me not to take myself too seriously. +1, sir.

Trump will just find a way to make it into treason. Or to turn any ol' overdose into a murder. Might even succeed on the latter part.

Drug dealers who, unknowingly to their customers, cut their product with shit to make overdosing or even poisoning much more likely - those I'm fine with charging with murder.

It should be clarified that a lot of the problem with opiates and similar drugs here in the US comes not from the illegal importation of actual opium, but from legal prescription drugs of the opioid class. And it's a big mess here, caused in part by drug companies pushing these drugs to doctors as miracle cures for pain, and so many doctors being behind the curve on pain management.

Death for Drug Dealers sounds like a great idea. If only it would happen in the UK. I'm sick to death of living next to drug dealers, it has become standard practice here. But then again, left wingers would probably let them run free due to their human rights. The idiots that they are.

No one made you move in next door to Buckingham Palace.

His detractors are the same as well then calling him cheeto, orange, etc. and talking of brain development you should learn how to write legibly first.

Sorry to be suspicious of your story, but I just have hard time believing an anti-capital punishment activist changing their mind merely over the alleged costs.

That's like claiming that a PETA activist became a meat lover after you told her how cheap beef is in the local grocery store.

Note: I am not saying I am against capital punishment... but I am. Except if someone kicks my dog or scratches my car, those fuckers WILL die. Eventually. Of an old age.

Actually, people do value life, though what life is valued varies from person to person.

Liberals do truly value life, as a whole. In particular, they truly value the diversity of life, both human and otherwise.

Conservatives, however, tend to only value the lives of people who are not yet born; once a baby is born into the world, they are no longer valued by conservatives. Well, on second thought, they might value the lives of some people, but only if they fit in and are the right kind of people.
