[QUOTE=Second-gear-of-mgear;26415966]I wouldn't mind visiting Brazil sometime in my lifetime. My Brazilian friends say to go to Recife unless the stuff is over. But anyways, I've never noticed the large amount of Caucasians in Brazil. All of my friends are descended from the Hispanic side, so I guess that's why.[/QUOTE]
Recife isn't in Rio de Janeiro, it's in Pernambuco.
You know, we also have states.

I dunno, it feels like the helicopter in the middle is photoshopped.
[QUOTE=pedroion;26473967]Yeah it's weird, it's like it's floating[/QUOTE]
Lighting that appears on the helicopter doesn't match with the lighting found in the rest of the area. It feels unnatural.

[QUOTE=strayebyrd;26462974]As do mine, and my cousin's boyfriend, who I was pretty good friends with, also did heroin. I can tell you there is a serious margin of difference in how the degradation goes down. Sure in a perfect world we could legalise all drugs and let people do what they want to their bodies, but the problem is, people are stupid. I am completely for the legalisation of drugs [I]in a perfect world[/I], but I see stupid kids come into the store I work constantly, buying booze with Fake I.Ds and shit, and booze is fine, because they'll probably grow out of that 'shitfaced erryday' phase, because I did, but if they try heroin, it's going to lead down a shitty road. Same with crack cocaine. Let people put what they want into their bodies sounds like a fantastic idea, but I care about the people around me, and there are those that don't know their limits, and they would suffer greatly if all manner of chemicals and what have you were offered up to them.[/QUOTE]
You're not understanding the point being made. You're not the only person that cares about the people around you. Legalizing would be in the best interest of those people. I know it can hurt to go through some hardship, but putting the blame on drugs is no different than the media blaming videogames when a kid goes to shoot up a school. It's not the drugs' fault. That person has a problem and they need help for it. Sometimes people get emotional and angry at the situation and need something to blame. A lot of the time when someone has a problem with drugs it has to do with an underlying problem with addiction in general, self-esteem issues, depression or some other sort of mental illness. Besides, using personal anecdotes and emotional arguments in an objective discussion is irrelevant. Legalizing would mean that those people with problems get the help that they need. Yes- it is a horrible place to be. Yes- that person is a dangerous person. No- they should not be treated like a criminal.
I mean, this is almost an exact parallel of the first prohibition... You know what happened to those gangs when they ended prohibition? They disappeared. Given the demand for alcohol is/was much higher than that for other drugs, but the parallels are there- loss of respect for law enforcement, gang violence on the increase, large portion of the populace that disagree with and actively break the law. It would prevent stuff like this from happening? Waging a war on your own citizens is a very scary concept to me...
I guess that's my point in a nutshell. If you have questions feel free to ask, but I more or less wish to be done with this thread.
can't remember but is this stuff recent event or no?
The only way to take down these gangs and by extension possibly the cartels is to use greater force than they would consider using against the police. They can weasel their way out of being legally incarcerated but I've yet to hear of a ganger who can bribe a bullet.

Legalizing drugs won't fix anything.
Legalizing pot may be one thing, but some guy getting strung out on crack, or meth, or anything like that isn't an issue of the user's safety, but the person.

Some things shouldn't be legalized.
Pot is one thing, but you can't go on to say "Oh fuck yeah, let's legalize heroin and cocaine too"

I don't think the alcohol smuggling gangs [I]ever [/I]went away, just because they stopped selling alcohol, they still had protection rackets, extortion, government bribes and petty crime. I mean, the alcohol smuggling rings were usually ran out of italian american gang families.
