Edited by: K1K1R1K1 on 27/08/2009 15:57:59 All these coincided in my head just now after reading this article I found on digg. So this whole idea I'm about to represent might have some problems with it, but bear with me.
The article essentially states that the supreme court in Argentina said that government has no right to say what is and isn't moral, and that it needs to review it's drug laws, although it does not say directly to abolish all drug laws.
And then it clicked oh so beautifully for me... why not abolish them all? Make every drug on the planet legal (*as long as it doesn't directly harm anyone but the user). Keep all the other common sense laws such as no drunk driving, no smoking indoors, and add new ones like no driving while high on cocain or whatever. And while there are good reasons certain drugs are illegal, there are much greater reasons as to why they should be legal.
So here's the theory. It's cold, harsh, and brutal, but it's for the best. The root of it all is to reintroduce natural selection into the human species which will have vast benefits for both humanity and for the planet. The idea is that once all drugs are legal, all the stupid and unfortunate people (yes I know some get hooked as kids and they can't avoid it) will use, and likely abuse the drugs to the point of death. From there there will be only a 3 sorts of people left when speaking of drugs. Those smart enough to avoid them (or use them in moderation... what a concept!), those who have abused them and survived with a lesson learned, and the dead.
The benefits are as such:
It will generate money in one form or another. Police will be able to spend more time on crimes that actually involve victims, rather than telling someone how to use their body. Above all, the absolute weakest humans will be killed off. The people that can't think past tonight and base 90% of their actions not on needs, but on wants and feelings. The kind that wants to get drunk, and then when they drink all the beer they want to drive to the liquor store to get more. Like I said, I realize that there are kids who get hooked on this stuff through little fault of their own. Unfortunately reality is one thing and the ideal situation is on the opposite end of the spectrum.
Initially it will be a very difficult and hard thing to do (like a breakup between a couple), however it will be for the best in the long run. As time passes the herd will be thinned out, people will hopefully realize on their own why they need to use drugs in moderation. If they don't, they will either die, or do something that affects another person because of their drug use, at which point they will end up in jail. It's a win win all around. Idiots get to snort all the cocain they want. Smart people get to as well. Stupid people die at their very own hands, and the police get to deal with real crimes instead of wasting time trying to rehabilitate people just to start the cycle all over again.
It's a messy, but I think in general it's on the right track... the track of reintroducing natural selection that is.

I believe in making the penalties much harsher instead, and using prisoners as cheap labor in the place of Chinese and Indian workers. Instead of exporting jobs, some jobs would be sent to prison labor camps.
Some say my ideas are inhumane.... Anyone not following the rule of law deserves no rights. They forfeited them when they broke the law. The exception of course being those not at the age of majority. They would be rehabilitated, and the parents would be punished for negligence depending on circumstances as I realize parents can't control their kids 100%
Also parents would be given back the right to spank their children with no fear of abuse accusation. lol. |

The problem with this argument, 'anyone not following the law forfeits their rights' is that you are neglecting the process by which laws are formed or abolished. Those civil rights protestors who broke the segregation laws, would you had them sent to your labour camps? The simple fact is, laws come and go, and it takes violations of certain laws regarded as unjust to bring about a change in the law. The thing to always remember, laws should be shaped by their society, rather than used to shape a society to them.

I too believe that giving our increasingly intrusive and authoritarian governments a huge incentive to criminalise us would be a great idea with no adverse consequences.

Hint to the clueless: illegal =/= immoral. The "rule of law" is just a pathetic way of avoiding the need to face the question of whether your laws are actually moral or not. ==========

To all those who are saying what we need is stronger penalties, you are simply wrong.
Laws do not solve, or deal adequately, with the problem they are related with. Think about it; people still murder, ****, smuggle, assault, kidnap and torture, despite there being pretty harsh penalties in place for these actions around the world. In some countries you will get your hand cut off for petty theivery, and I'd say this is a pretty severe penalty, but hey, people still steal bread.
Part of the problem with laws is that they simply don't stand up to human ingenuity. Some of the most brilliant plans, schemes, business operations and even technical inventions have been devised as a means of breaking the law and avoiding detection. Putting a law in place because an act is deemed immoral will not stop people from performing the act, it will just cause them to rethink their strategy in going about that action. Put simply, having a law in place does not remove the incentive from the act the law prohibits.
You want to greatly reduce drug use across the world? Well throwing people into prison or into work camps isn't going to do it. You'll need to look into the root causes of drug taking; be they poverty, lack of opportunity, inequality etc etc. That said, some people just like to get high from time to time, and as human beings have achieved states of euphoria throughout our history (from a plethora of means, not just drugs) why is it seen as so evil?
Laws do not work to eradicate a problem. Laws are reactionary, and as such are in the wrong place in the causal chain to actually achieve anything. Simple as that.

Let's make a law making it illegal to drink alcohool (didn't we have that once already ? how did it work out, I don't recall... hmmz... /naive) Or illegal to be a homosexual. Or be addicted to video games. Or scratching your nose in public. Hooray cheap labour !
Just because something is illegal doesn't mean it SHOULD be illegal. Anything that only directly damages others (or the state) should be illegal in the first place, and even there some exceptions should exist.
P.S. Other than that, sure, why not, reintroduce slavery (as replacement to jail time - when your "slavery time" is over, it's over, and you can get out early for good behaviour or good performance, just like out of jail) and make people that break the law slaves for all I care (hooray, no more prisons). But then make sure the laws are proper laws, not some arbitrary junk.

Anything that is deemed unhealthy should be disallowed.
It isn't your body when you are part of programs OTHER PEOPLE PAY FOR. Because my tax money supports your addictions, your weakness, your weak wants, I am a part owner of your body.
So yes, if I'm helping to pay for your benefits I expect that you will be forced if necessary to live properly and healthy.
Don't like it? Help me move us to a libertarian society without entitlement, with low corruption, a society where work means something, people earn their rights, and everyone contributes.
Most people want to legalize drugs out of selfishness not because they are actually looking at the issue itself with why we shouldn't. |

This thing got derailed a bit. I wasn't arguing the morality of laws. Laws are a grey (or is it gray?) area enough as it is and can be argued from here to China. I was arguing the idea of reintroducing natural selection and how that would make life better. Because while everything natural may not be best for you, I believe natural selection is one of them that is good and this would be an ideal way to reintroduce it. Even if some suffering has to occur to get the wheels rolling. Yea... something like that. _______________________________________ Don't worry aboutit. |

I do not think you understand the mechanics of evolution. You will not reintroduce natural selection to the human species by legalizing drugs, and it will not have vast benefits for both humanity and the planet.
However the court ruling is quite interesting. "The state cannot establish morality," they said.
So if not the state, then who does?

Natural selection disappeared from humanity the very moment morality appeared.
Its something I've been pondering for a while. Modern medecine is responsibly for a tremendous 'pollution' if you will, of our gene pool. Tied in with our moral notions of a right to life, or the evils of abortion means that we have a much higher pervailance of genetic abnormalities, problems and deformities than if medecine was not around. Whether this is right or wrong, I don't know. A big part of me believes in rights to life, but then I'm somewhat of a utilitarian, so quality of life is hugely important too.
If anything, I think the best way to reintroduce natural selection gradually, is to be rid of excessive health and safety regulations and bring back common sense.

I also am in the belief that warning labels should be removed and lawsuits nullified. In the dark ages if a man was eaten by a lion people would point at him and say that man was stupid for being by a lion. Now days if a man is eaten by a lion they put the lion down and proclaim all lions as being dangerous.

The earth is heavily overpopulated, and i guess an overdose is better then starving to death. hmm,, maybe it would help the planet after all :)

Id say that, in an evolutionary perspective, the more genetic pollution we got the better. By maintaining a high genetic diversity we will have better odds to survive as a species when the **** hits the fan. Because its impossible for us to see in the future it is also impossible for us to determine what will be good or bad genes.

I do completely agree though. With PETA, and other organizations that help out certain people, animals or things. Have all been based around morality. And what people care for. And even if it means sacrificing their pet poodle to save the planet, or swap to a smaller car, they won't do it. ________________________________________________

You're much more likely to die from drug-related issues when drugs are illegal And I don't mean just from drug-induced medical issues, but from a lot of other things that go with the territory when they're illegal. So your proposal would have the opposite effect anyway.

i saw tax money dragged into the conversation somewhere up there and was reminded of a conversation i had with an anti smoking nazzi
88 - you realise how much your smoking costs the state each year? me - hit me *inhales* 88 - you cost the nhs 500 million pounds a year (omgrofllolololol) me - ok... *breathes out* you know we pay 2.5bn a year in taxes for this right? 88 - but its bad for you me - as will this conversation be for your health if you dont get the fk back inside the pub before i finish this pint and try to glass you.
legalise it, tax it, funds itself.
the law is but a piece of paper that people in general agree with. civil disobediance happens alot... the civil rights movement in america, poll tax in the uk etc
oh and statistically 68% of uk citizens below the age of 45 have illegally smoked cannabis or tried non legal substances,
to me that says the majority are now criminals... so the law cant be in effect unless they are seriously planning to put a perimiter wall around glasgow and send us all there.
with hte majority of people taking voer in this generation having been exposed tried or actively smoked. i find it hard to believe that they can still think a reactionary measure is necessary.
*shrug* in a week ill have another 4 ounces of nice homegrown for my own personal use :D

If it's natural selection you're going for, there are other ways to go about it.
Abolish welfare. No free medical care. Enforce the death penalty more vigorously.
Or, keep it simple. Free methamphetamine with every handgun purchase. Sit back and watch the fun ensue.

Thankfully, we live too far out in the middle of nowhere. Our closest neighbor is a little under a mile down the road, and that's in both directions.

Oh yeah, who'd want to rob **** and loot out where nobody can see the crime, and society going belly up around you wouldn't be much of a bother or anything :D
1789, France, thats what you get if you create a large lower class and ignore it.
Thankfully the western world is FAAR away from that, and we're moving yet furhter away from it.
A lot of my friends were the children of abusive deadbeat parents, alcoholics, a ***** mother and no clue who daddy is, and without the goverment backing them up (because god knows their parents didn't), they'd have endt up as yet another generation of doped up deadbeats.
Instead the government paid for an education and a lot of them now have productive tax paying jobs.
Human evolution is changing, in a few years we'll probably take control of it with new technology and shape our own destiny, but let's not make society into a smoking ruin before we get there, eh, life isn't fair and that works both ways of the social ladder, we rich may have monetary power but the poor have their fists, and getting a weapon isn't that hard, and thats another form of real and "legitimate" power in terms of evolution.
That said, banning weed is stupid considering all the horribly dangerous drugs you can get over the counter today and it's just red tape and prejudice keeping it that way. 1 ****** on the other hand...see China vs Great Britain 1839.

Abolish welfare. No free medical care. Enforce the death penalty more vigorously.

Anarchy tends to have a cause, the most common of which is poverty.

H e r o i n jees, we know what it is, i'm not trying to sell it or anything CCP.
I'm not saying your argument is invalid. In fact, I wholeheartedly agree with it. However, the topic was natural selection, and I foresee this as one possibility, albeit far-fetched and never going to happen.
The weak die off to make room for the strong, even if the strong are a bunch of brainless half-wits.

In our current world the weak aren't culled and with the new breakthroughs in genetics we will soon decide the course of human evolution and be able to "custom design" ourselves.
In short: Human evolution by means of natural selection does no longer occur (barring some third world nations, though in a new shape due to widespread war and new ilnesses).
It has been replaced with: Human Evolution by means of random selection (everyone lives, even the weak barring a few who die of ilnesses in childhood we have yet to cure...for now however we still evolve, but now its no longer the strongest genes who are carried on, all genes are now carried on because even if you do die of cancer, you'll have had time to have 2-3 kids BEFORE this happens).
In its place you'll soon have designer babies, and why people think thats a bad thing is beyond me, we're not talking about aborting jewish babies here, we're talking about removing weaknesses to certain ilnesses, breeding babies with stronger organs, better eyesight, more effective brains etc etc etc.
Aaah the future, definately worth the risk of zombie-cyborg invasion.

The plan you propose is already being carried out for years by the pharma industry.
The fact that you do not realize this, and think your idea is new, only shows how brilliant their plan and its execution is (and on which end of the food chain you are).

Anything that is deemed unhealthy should be disallowed.
It isn't your body when you are part of programs OTHER PEOPLE PAY FOR. Because my tax money supports your addictions, your weakness, your weak wants, I am a part owner of your body.
So yes, if I'm helping to pay for your benefits I expect that you will be forced if necessary to live properly and healthy.
Don't like it? Help me move us to a libertarian society without entitlement, with low corruption, a society where work means something, people earn their rights, and everyone contributes.
Most people want to legalize drugs out of selfishness not because they are actually looking at the issue itself with why we shouldn't.
So are you for or against national health care? This is what was always great about the USA. It is not supposed to run programs like healthcare, welfare, medicare, cash for clunkers, cap and trade, social security... At the same time though it is supposed to run programs that protect the American workers interest with tariffs and trade restrictions. If they would of concentrated on supporting our own industries over directly supporting the people put out of work by not doing that, none of this would be a problem now. The US government has been running backwards ever since the depression and we are likely to continue digressing unless we do an overhaul of washington politics. SCHALAC HAS SPOKEN |

Originally by: Azirapheal i saw tax money dragged into the conversation somewhere up there and was reminded of a conversation i had with an anti smoking nazzi
88 - you realise how much your smoking costs the state each year? me - hit me *inhales* 88 - you cost the nhs 500 million pounds a year (omgrofllolololol) me - ok... *breathes out* you know we pay 2.5bn a year in taxes for this right? 88 - but its bad for you me - as will this conversation be for your health if you dont get the fk back inside the pub before i finish this pint and try to glass you.
legalise it, tax it, funds itself.
This is pretty much my thought aswell. Legalise almost everything, but tax it enough to pay off the damage it causes. Cars, ***s, drugs, fastfood, gambling, etc.
Or just drop all the socialist programs and let people run their lives and die by them.

Originally by: rValdez5987 I believe in making the penalties much harsher instead, and using prisoners as cheap labor in the place of Chinese and Indian workers. Instead of exporting jobs, some jobs would be sent to prison labor camps.
Some say my ideas are inhumane.... Anyone not following the rule of law deserves no rights. They forfeited them when they broke the law. The exception of course being those not at the age of majority. They would be rehabilitated, and the parents would be punished for negligence depending on circumstances as I realize parents can't control their kids 100%
Also parents would be given back the right to spank their children with no fear of abuse accusation. lol.

Edited by: Cardiana on 30/08/2009 14:27:00 legalising the maria would be a smart step for the goverment but then you know the poor sobs with the artifical fabric production lines they gonna start bit*hing: hey we dont want this. we want our whole toxic industrial complex to stay intact. it is an evil evil plant which kills your babies. bla bla bla.
:S
in the end how all this will turn out will show how mature our society is and how open minded honest it is with the facts which are that this plant is a super **** awesome plant which can do so much in so many departments. medical for instance just to name one.
about moral. hm well the only law is love your neighbour as yourself. do what you want. surrender to that.
quick example: galaxy whirl -> snail house
who owns the intelligence?
no one in particular. thats who you are.

I'm all for genetic engineering that doesn't involve destroying embryos.
That said its not my choice, its someone elses. They can face the consequences after they die, if there are any.

The problem OP .. is this. none of us in legal terms owns our body. Why do you think they can take a baby away from you unless they have ownership over that. ... at least this is how some ppl at Canada think it is. _________________________________ -be vary of the men behind the curtain-
