        You’re not missing much. It’s a soulless place, not to mention remarkably racist. Sure it’s clean and safe, but there’s no vibrancy. I live in South America, in a city that’s considered dangerous by world standards, but I walk out my door and there’s music and life… the city buzzes. Some people like living in a sterile bubble I guess but not me.

      Some crimes are so heinous and intrinsically evil that I believe we as society shouldn’t take the burden of keeping those people alive just for the sake of it. I believe that in those very limited cases, death penalty should be allowed.

        The problem is that you will 100% kill innocent people. And there is no way to reverse it later on…

        I agree death penality itself has its uses e.g. prosecution of war criminals, rebel leaders, druglords and I think corrupt officials in some cases. It should be applied to those who despite being behind bars would continue to influence outside causing more death or downfall of a nation if they remain alive. Though for this case just for carrying heroine I don’t think that should be a death sentence it is just stupid an outdated way of control. Though problem with death sentence sometimes it becomes a hammer and when it becomes a hammer everything becomes a nail. It should only be a last resort.

        If it’s allowed there will be mistakes, innocent people will be killed.

        And it will be abused.

      Fuck the “war on drugs”. All the things cited to justify drug prohibition are actually caused by the prohibition, not the drugs themselves.

      Drug dealers lead to murderers. Fool do whatever to protect income, mainstream or street.
