So if this is Barbaric, tell me where you would draw the line?

The amount of people in this thread pining away for a heavy handed govt with the type of power to execute citizens for possession of a plant, is disturbing. Appears to be no limit to the amount of freedom they’d exchange for “security” or the amount of power they’d be willing to give the govt.

I think it is reactionary because people don’t like how laws aren’t being enforced in America.
Personally I think there has to be some sort of a happy medium between Singapore and San Fran.

I get it. I agree with your last sentence. People just need to realize the same power to kill people for having two pounds of weed will be used at a later point to imprison people for political beliefs or not wearing their mask when told.

Where have you been the last 4 years? Our gov is already an over reaching heavy hand but only to those that obey.

Exactly. Apparently lots of “conservatives” want to continue this trend or even give the govt even more power, at least some of them in this thread do. They’ve got a lot in common with the “two weeks to slow the curve” crowd. But hey, there will be no litter.

honestly, I'd prefer the strict law of singapore, compared to many places (california, chicago, NYC as examples) of the good ole USA, where you can commit burglary under $950, assault, manslaughter due to DUI, etc without any real penalties
we're turning into a joke of a country punishment wise as we hope social workers will somehow solve decades old gang related problems, and victims of theft are called racists
There is not a soul on the right in the US who would put up with the gun laws in Singapore for a minute...nary a one.

Singapore executes man for 2 lbs of Marijuana
They executed Nazeri bin Lajim (the man below) for having some heroin.
LINK - Article on his case
quote:
Arrested in 2012 and convicted of trafficking 33.89 grams of heroin, Nazeri was hanged at dawn – the fifth of 11 inmates sent to the city-state’s gallows so far this year for drug offenses. The most recent execution was an unnamed 55-year-old Singaporean man who was hanged in early October, according to the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB).

Exactly what should be done with all dopers.
Including the pharmacuetical giants, all of their employees and investors, the doctors who prescribe the drugs, all of their employees, the drug stores and their employers and investors who distribute them, anyone losely associated with tobacco and alcohol to boot. What we need is a society where death is the sentence for these kinds of offenses, where it is legal to chuck a gay person from the roof of a high rise building, where women can't show their face in public, let alone drive and where it is illegal to educate girls. And finally where preachers run everything and can simply tell their minions to murder you if they don't care for the way you look or talk...that sounds like heaven, don't it????

Damn. I imagine there isn't much crime going on in Singapore. Seems a little draconian.

Note to self. Never travel to Indonesia.

Singapore is the Disney World of cities....clean and nice on the exterior, uglier than hell just below the surface. They have a little thing called "The Internal Security Act" which legally allows the government to hold a person indefinitely without and charges for things like speaking out against the party in power, There is no right to free expression, no freedom of the press and owning a firearm is reserved for the wealthy and connected. It is a third world shite hole whose only saving grace is lax tax laws that allows for a lot of pretty window dressings so foreigners will be duped into thinking it is some sort of heaven....

There is NO limit to the amount of power they would grant to a government to keep anyone BUT themselves in order...but you'd best not suggest that they would be subject to the regulations and laws other people would be OK with to keep THEM in line...Singapore is a shite hole just under the surface...just barely below the surface. No American would tolerate living there for long...

They ain't conservatives as the last 2 presidential elections and recent elections across the nation have proven beyond any doubt...the Libertarian wing of both parties in the US have long since disappeared and ain't coming back...both sides are now all in on making it illegal to be on the other side of the aisle.

Very little crime as defined by the party in power in Singapore but way more crime as defined by most of the industrialized world being committed every minute of every day by that same party in Singapore...
