The Bali Nine/Schapelle Corby Discussion Thread

Because, no matter how much you try to deny it, it's their choice to walk into the fast food restaurant, the casino, the bar... it sucks but hey, it's true...

Just as its a junkies choice to buy drugs...

I wasn't trying to defend the obese, gamblers, drunks etc. Nathalie, nor was I actually suggesting the Maccas kid, the casino staff or the bar tenders etc. be responsible. I was pointing out that no one has a problem with these people supplying these other unhealthy addictive products, however people want drug dealers crucified, for the only reason I can see, is because the government has called it illegal. If the government could work out how to justify selling illicit drugs and making the cash the drug dealers do, guaruntee they would. Until then, its illegal.

Why? They're supplying something people want, its only becase the government has deemed it illegal that people are opposed to drug dealers. Why not line up the tobacconists that sell smokes to people? The bar tender that serves drinks to the bloke who has a drinking problem. The casino staff that let the problem gambler in. The kid at Maccas that keeps serving the morbidly obese people their burgers and fries.

I dont think myself as a person who will have a good time and a drink, will go and bash some old lady over the head, because i have an addiction! Only sick and stupid people want drugs...And if the goverment legalised drugs :dizzy:
i would like to see them lined up against that wall with the dealers! :naughty:

Thats only because we're capable of having a few drinks, even getting sh!tfaced, and not going out and 'bashing some old lady over the head' or whatever unsavoury behaviour. However, some people don't have that ability.

Pretty certain if junkies had the financial ability to get as much drugs as they wanted/needed, majority wouldn't be out stealing and what-not.

Drugs and the filth that deal in it are the scourge of society. I'm with Jenny, line them up and shoot the lot. Jails are busting at the seams as about 90% of all crimes commited are directly drug related. Why should we, the decent hard working, law abiding citizen pay to house and feed this scum. Sorry but its a sore point with me. You deal or take drugs, then you suffer the consequences when you get caught. If that happens to be death by firing squad then that'll do me just fine.

Exactly my sentiments. The laws aren't made up on the spot, they exist, and if you take the risk and get caught, then you deserve what you get. If you smuggle drugs into Indonesia, expect a bullet. Don't complain it's unfair, you knew the risks.

Well said Steve, you hit the nail on the head.

Tis all good. I know what you meant.

finally some voices of reasoning.

the law is the law, no matter who or what you are.

A couple of my friends are into there drugs and they are of the opinion that if you don't get caught then it's not illegal, I am as much worried about there health as I am about them getting arrested, drugs are for idiots, even if you start on the small stuff there's no telling what you might do while under the influence of such things (eg take harder drugs).

It's like drinking, many people I know will take an 8 pack to a party and think yeah that's a safe amount, after knocking back 8 they feel invincible so they go have some shots and usually hit the goon. Twenty minutes later there vomitting everywhere. I think drugs may also work this way, someone thinks ' aww I'll just have a half a pill, spice the night up a bit' 30 minutes after taking that they think 'hey this is great, I'll take another whole pill' this is when the problems begin.

8 pack? Of what? Beer is usually in 6 packs, except for TEDies Platinum. And mate what parties are you going to where people decide to hit GOON?! Are these year 8 parties where everyone chips in their allowance to buy a couple $12 4L casks of Coolabah? Anyone is gonna spew drinking that crap!

I am so glad that I have never even thought about taking drugs. I've never even been tempted. Even if I was, I'm not stupid enough to take them. People have been warned, they know the consequences, quite often they see the consequences, they know what'll happen if they take drugs. Sad stuff.
