Yes, what America needs is a more authoritarian law enforcement. That'll clean the place up. We will then come over in due time to collect what's left of a once proud country, if there's something left worth salvaging.

America already is a place that lands you on the sex offenders list for taking a leak in public. I think that's already far enough on the law and order side.

Singapore is a country where you land in jail for spitting out a chewing gum.

Anyone's idea of freedom?

Actually ending the drug war would be the proper solution. Alcohol prohibition didn't work. Drug prohibition isn't working. Legalizing, taxing, and regulating the system is what has and will work.

LOL, at least we can expect relief.  Bring bacon, I'll have run out.  You'll be able to recognize my home by the sandbags, concertina, and american fag flying upside down..if the sound of constant small arms fire doesn't give it away first.  It would be wise to yell "I'm not a cop!" as loudly as possible on the way in, wave the bacon too, I'll remember.   Wink
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Fuck no.

Singapore has the death penalty for possessing certain amount of drugs. So fuck that, and fuck anyone who thinks this is a good idea. End the goddamn war on drugs. It's a waste of time, money, energy, and police resources. Dr. Gifford-Jones is a damn quack anyway.
