Should North America get tougher on its citizens like Singapore?

After Reading some rather interesting articles written by Canadian doctor Dr.Gifford-Jones on North America's "namby-pamby permissiveness" in comparison to Singapore's more strict authoritativeness http://canadafreepress.com/2006/health040306.htm Quote:In the 1970s Singapore had a serious problem. The use of heroin was spreading to young people. And former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew decided to nip the trend in the bud. He introduced the death penalty for major drug traffickers and some offences were also punishable by '"caning".
The government realized that nothing would work if drugs were easily available. So black market areas of drug abuse were flooded with police 24 hours a day for up to nine months (cities in Canada take note). Addicts were sent to treatment centers, major drug dealers were hung and small pushers imprisoned.
Criminals quickly realized that not only were these new laws harsh, but also police intended to carry them out. Moreover, caning made a distinct impression on their backsides and their heads.
Many in North America consider this type of punishment brutal, a return to the dark ages. But officials told me that only five per cent of criminals became repeat offenders after meeting the cane (officials and do-gooders take note).Singapore officials stated that North Americans have become "irresponsibly permissive". How true! And this attitude starts early. Consider how we allow students, hardly out of diapers, to rule the classroom, insisting they have their "rights", but ignoring any responsibility (school boards take note).
This namby-pamby permissiveness results in drug trafficking, addiction and finally murder when punishment is soft, delayed or even nil.
. One has to wonder would Singapore strict laws/punishments really clean up North American society for the better?

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.

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.
