Isn't this guy just hilarious? Apologies for the error in the title, maybe a staff member could fix that for me.

Quote:President of the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte has lambasted the United Nations and threatened to pull out of the organisation after its criticism of his anti-drugs policies.
Police chiefs have admitted they are responsible for the deaths of some 600 drugs suspects since July, with local media suggesting the true number could easily be more than 1,000 when vigilante killings are taken into account.
Last week, two UN human rights experts urged Manila to stop the killings, saying they amounted to a crime under international law.
President Duterte has denied the government is responsible.
And here's what he has to say about the UN
Quote:'Maybe we'll just have to decide to separate from the United Nations. If you are that disrespectful, son of a whore, then I will just leave you," the president added.
The riled up leader suggested he could create a new global organisation.
"I would invite everybody. I would invite maybe China, the African (nations)," said President Duterte.
When asked about the possible repercussions of his comments, he said: "What is ... repercussions? I don't give a s*** to them."

maybe he'd want to be a mod here ?
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

That guy is a lunatic. He's dangerous to his people, but thanks to the nature of the Philippines only a mild nuisance to the world. But it goes to show how all these people tick. Regardless of nation. They're all on a big ego trip without caring one bit about the consesquences. We have our share of them in Europe, already in power inn Hungary and Poland, and one of them is running for president of the USA.

That is what I say about drug dealers who ruin millions of peoples lives too. They don't give a fuck about what they are doing. I don't condone what he has done, but drugs are a major problem and something has to be done, just not in the way he is doing it.

It is a problem. The solution is legalize, tax, and regulate. And treat addiction as a medical problem, and not something to kill someone over.

Yes, let's legalise heroin.
That's a fantastic idea.

Yes. A lot of time the worst stuff is done because it's cut with chemicals it really shouldn't be cut with. Besides, synthesized heroine is already legal. We call it morphine.

How about we start with recreationals that have a lower physical addiction and higher LD50 profile.
BTW, technically heroin =/= morphine.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
