	[quote name="CRAZY ASSESSMENT"][quote name="Mysterio"]Portugal decriminalized, they did not legalize. The shadow economy based on drug rents persists with a very modest demand attenuation. The incentives that birth cartels and displace societal destabilization into supply countries remain intact. [/quote] Oh, you want to talk about drugs being legalized literally like tea? Well that's not going to happen, idiot. You can make a case for soft drugs being completely legal though heavily regulated at some point, but we're not going to be seeing crack on the store shelves any time ever, or even by a prescription, so you can stop imagining this weird end times scenario. There will always be grey and black markets run by nefarious people, but we can make improvements. [quote]Ultimately, drugs are a zero sum scourge. Either the third world producers suffer from cartel-induced erosion of the rule of law, or first world consumers suffer from addiction.[/quote] This theory where when you make drugs legal the entire populace becomes addicted and drives up healthcare costs needs to be supported by something beyond just "more drugs = more addicts". Would it be worse or better than our current suffering of alcohol addiction? Cigarette addiction? Do you personally plan on getting addicted when the spice flows? [quote]I think our current system works pretty well. The most pathological personalities in our society sacrifice themselves to fuel a relatively cheap, 100% onshored penal system. Regardless, these men have no place in society. You will never train some gangbanging teardropped orc to write javascript. The only jobs they're fit for - back of house food service/construction/unskilled resource cycle/farm labor- are 90% filled by a caste of skilled illegals that are never leaving this country. Likewise, the secondary sector that could have absorbed these guys went across the Pacific. We've lot over a third of our manufacturing volume since the 80s, and the stuff that is dribbling back is ultra value added and the people qualified to do that work make more than many professionals.[/quote] "Hey guys, I've developed a tough-as-nails compassionless and semi-racist worldview by reading a mix of Orson Scott Card and looking through my window, which is what I call my web browser. I refer to my theories as pragmatism! And they said my Aspergers would hold me back because I couldn't relate to people! But look at me now!" [quote]As for DV and murders, the correlation is quite clear. [/quote] And as the saying goes, "correlations equal conclusions". Show me some statistics, because in any domestic violence statistic I see, it's usually "domestic partner" or spelled out as "husband, ex-husband or male lover". Have you really not watched any Cops episodes? Boyfriends outnumber husbands there. [quote]As it becomes easier for women to exit marriages and enter a stable alternative situation, DV declines. [/quote] LOL yes once the English Reformation happens and women are allowed careers to support themselves, we'll see more women leaving their abusive relationships. [quote]As for stopping mass killings, of course it's a sci fi fantasy. That's the entire point... [/quote] Thank god we can just give up then. Hey, what if we get the teardropped orcs to guard schools for pay? They can sling legalized crack outside (as sales reps for Pfizer's crack line) since it's a good location and as we know, they're all about protecting turf. We're going to need this sort of new wave thinking with all the extra not-dead divorced women that will be around in the future, having fatherless kids.[/quote]
