Lee Kuan Yew Explains Death Penalty for Drug Traffickers in Singapore

[mmKay]

Conservative stance done right IMO. Just discern psychedelics from the crap.

Thoughts?

Yes he knows his stuff very well. The reporter basically got owned by him as the reporter only knew about the surfaces of things but did not study deeply into this topic.

On drug trafficking: one death is too kind. Pretty true.

Do you want a clean society or do you want a society where there's many people peddling drugs, begging for money or food on the streets? Thousand of families destroyed and people looking for alms?

To be honest, I was just able to listen to the first response as everything else would have just been a waste of time. He is bringing the argument, that it was a good for the US to enact stricter penalties against those, who are drug addicts? Have those penalties ever correlated with a disminishing of drug addicts in the US? What about the jerk, who smoked like a joint and got sent to jail, declared as a criminal and being dismissed out of the workforce, ruining his life FOREVER. Those are the REAL cases. Has the war on drugs ever worked? It's a war we are fighting since Reagan and we are still fighting it. Just more and more people getting killed, we need to stop thinking trying to fix the symptoms, but to fight the causes...

There's a deep double standard, we let the CEO of every fast food company do their thing, while killing Druglords? I'm not saying Druglords are the nicest people, they are the most "evil" persons out there, still... Double standard.

You know why, there are so many deaths, because of drugs? Because it is THE most free and least regulated market. Think about that...

And yeah, the interviewer was really lackluster.
