Daily Mail - Why we must take the public's lead... and jail ALL drug dealers

[clubberdude]

I think she needs some evidence to back up this assertion. I'm not convinced that the majority of the population would prefer to jail a non-violent drug dealer over say, someone who commits domestic violence on a regular basis.

That Melanie Phillips loves writing controversial pieces. She's written a number of unpleasant anti gay, anti immigration posts in the past.

The daily mail newspaper is nothing more than parody here in the UK.

That said, the media in the UK is perhaps the single biggest barrier standing in the way of decriminalisation of drugs in the UK. Look at how the Mephedrone situation was dealt with - trial by media (although evidence is surfacing that mephedrone is perhaps not the safest drug out there), this is clearly not the way to deal with something like this.

Interesting aside - the top spelling suggestion for Mephedrone in google chrome is Dodecahedron, can't quite see how they worked that one out. I know its not relevant to the discussion, but it amused me all the same.

To you and the people you associate with perhaps, but not to its two million readers.

The daily mail sounds like some of the stupid right wing newspapers we get here in Canada from what ive read about them. Id like to know who they actually surveyed because i really can't see many people in england under 35 wanting anything like this.

a daily mail poll is hardly a survey. with leading questions and a small demographic and number of participants, i can guess without reading into it that it is flawed and innaccurate.

but as usual the mail doesn't credit their readers with the intelligence and education to critically examine their methodology (hence it doesn't show them the data), merely that the reader should obey their opinion.

which makes the reader stupid by definition

this comes as no shock

its a paper for the thickies which as any bell curve will show is quite a big swathe of society, even then its only a fraction of the total thickies in the uk that like it. its a paper for people who dont want to have to form their own opinion from an article that doesn't really go in one direction or the other, like you find in the broadsheets (most of the time).

also it was heavily affiliated with facists in the thirties including hitler and mussolini, something its readers would do well to think about, though they wont as they rarely "think".

I really doubt the journalists would actually believe it, but then again, it is the Daily Mail. Sigh. There are a lot of drug-using journalists, just as there are a lot of drug users amongst the police force, lawyers and judges. I think everyone involved from the people who bust the dealers, to the people who sentence the dealers, to the people who report about the dealers know it's all a massive farce.

Another stunning article from the Daily Mail.

I'm not even shocked or surprised by their bullshit any more.

I'm just going back to my cancer filled Bread and Water.

-Facepalm-

Not sure why you think those bread and water articles are lame (other than their source).

Didn't read them thoroughly, but it makes sense to me that a diet high in highly processed, fiber-less carbs and radon-filled water may cause cancer.

Not so much the articles. I just picked a couple of things from the long list of things that give you or help induce cancer according to the Daily Mail.

Some of the things on the list include sex, being a woman, being black, wearing flip-flops, blowjobs and retirement.

 

[slimvictor]

^ Those things DO cause cancer.
Trust me.
I am a retired black woman who often has sex, including blowjobs, while wearing flip-flops.
Or sex with flip-flops.

So I should know.

GUYS, its pretty simple: if we lock up all drug dealers then they won't undergo mitosis and divide into more drug dealers. Then there won't be any drug dealers anymore cause who would want to take advantage of a market with no competition? There will be no way to learn the art of dealing drugs if all the masters are locked in cages and can no longer snatch our children from playgrounds and apprentice them into the trade.

What about that doesn't make sense to those stupid liberals...gawd it's like the daily mail is the only voice of reason. But no, when those defeatists see that something doesn't work they want to "change the course" instead of doing the same thing with more spit n vinegar. pussies.

In conclusion: PEDOPHILES TERRORISTS AND MEOW MEOW
