Ok Cam, so no other country has border problems.  Right.
They seem to handle them better than you guys, but that's your business. Your federal government is on the case I hear.
Cam makes a good pun on our Federal system. It is a corrupt organization. usmarine haven't you heard of the American Union? Sadly those in the highest states of power are WANTING this to be put into effect and to replace the dollar collectively with the 'Amero'. Its just ONE step closer to WORLD GOVERNMENT. Think of the International Bankers here, this is their main goal and only agenda is to seek world power and domination, one government backed by their ability to control the markets and thus, the free will of the people.

Better question: Why don't we phase out the War on Drugs?
Our Government likes to paint a picture of an 'enemy' to our society so we can focus our attention on it, not only our attention, but our time, money and resources. Our Government will never let this war up because it is a profit machine for those on the receiving end of it. The Federal Reserve Board and the International bankers.

Agreed Doomed...  but I would actually hypothesize that organized crime uses its money to keep drugs illegal.  If they weren't, the profit margin of drugs would be considerably lower.

Essentially, the War on Drugs helps organized crime.  It doesn't help the general population.

Oh no. It doesn't. Nothing being done by our Federal Government, International Bankers or those with hidden agendas are helping the general population. We, the general population are meant to be the sheep. The ones uninformed of whats going on, while various things get passed by our government that hinder our RIGHTS as a people.

We are slowly losing our rights, and our respect for each other as human beings. Those in power are corrupt and care not for the welfare of the general population. It is leading to the downfall of our FREE WILL.

When our nation is trillions of dollars in dept, with a HUGE amount of government organizations NOT DOING THEIR JOBS (Homeland, FEMA, Department of Education) How could you NOT want government organizations abolished?

FFS, look at the education of our COUNTRY and of our CHILDREN. And who is to thank? Do you think we really NEED the Department of Education? Education should be ran at a state level with only state influence. Where have they gotten us? Where has ANY government organization REALLY gotten us??

We are a young nation compared to most, yet after WWII we accumulated more wealth than any other country in the world ever.  However, it will not be all good times.  Look at other nations and their history.  You act like our world is caving in.

I'd like drug policy to involve a mostly rehab orientation.  I'd also like to legalize pot and softer drugs while finding more progressive ways of dealing with hard drugs.

Granted, I'd also like to prosecute all organized crime syndicates, but that's a long term goal for sure....

I didn't say that...  The War on Drugs as we know it can totally change if the DEA is run by competent progressives.  Right now it's being run by idiots and hardliners.

First off, unless you are out there doing it everyday, you are way over the line.  Very easy for you to sit back in your nice comfortable world and criticize. 

But anyway...

If you take away everything the DEA has done, would we be better off?

Why is it so easy for people to stand up and say how corrupt our U.S. government is, but are we supposed to pretend there is no corruption in South America? And for Cam, you said earlier Communist countries shy away from drugs. You really think that has any effect on them preventing cociane moving through their country? With how many millions of dollars are to be made I really doubt it.

Would it change your mind if I showed you that many of the drugs that cause our society problems today were either created by corporations and then made illegal after a market was established or created for nefarious purposes for the FBI and CIA?

Here are a few examples...  Heroin was literally made by Bayer: http://opioids.com/heroin/heroinhistory.html

LSD was created by Sandoz Laboratories (Novartis) and was used as an interrogation drug for the CIA project MKULTRA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MKULTRA

Many things were put into place by the progression of events here.  With most major illegal drugs, a legal market was established followed by prohibition, which creates a vast illegal market ripe for ruining lives, with the DEA being the main tool of oppression.

Hell, they even used to put cocaine in Coca-Cola.  This isn't an agenda of helping people.  It's an agenda to get people hooked and then exploit them.

Well yes.  I have lived with booze being legal and pot being illegal.  I grew up in this country and that is the law.  People have the right to leave this country if they do not like it.  So yes, I would have a problem if they all of sudden banned alcohol.

So the question you must ask yourself is...  what gives the government the right to make one substance (pot) illegal, but allow a more harmful substance (alcohol) to remain legal?

Surely, you can see the inconsistency and ridiculousness in our policy on this, right?

To answer your question Turquoise, I think it is an element of time that gives the right to alcohol as being legal. What I mean is, alcohol was legalized quite a long time ago, and its been this way for however long. So, our society is just accustom to it being that way. Change on a scale as massive as allowing a substance to be legalized after it has be illegal for so long is hard. It takes a lot of time, and it takes a lot of effort, and it will take a lot of persuasion.

Also, its brainwashing. The people who made marijuana illegal were legislators who were basically led to believe something utterly wrong. Again, it was an AGENDA by others who saw a benefit/profit to making it illegal for them to gain financially.

Nope I'm anti-bully. Its a characteristic of bullies they blame everyone for their problems but themselves.
Its not the evil Colombians forcing  your fellow Americans to take drugs, the US just can't get enough.
As for borders, which has the longer coastline? North or South America?
What do you really need to police, the bay of Mexico and the Mexican border? It wouldn't be too hard - if the US govt actually wanted to.
Instead the US tries to tell farmers across an entire foreign continent what they are and aren't allowed to grow, even though its the US consumer who demands these goods - ugly American anyone?

Why do you think I picked Dilbert eh Mr Dumbass? I am aware of exactly what I'm like.
I'm glad I'm pissing you off, so go ahead and be pissed off

Also big as hell.  So to compare to other countries which have 1/10 of the border size, or are surrounded by water on all sides is retarded.
Yeah it must be really tough for each country-sized state to look after there own section of border. Really tough.
Well people crossing in from Mexico do whatever just to cross the border. It's not like if they cross the border and get caught and they're gonna say darn, since people watching it have guns now most of them just back off and try again another time but the ones that don't back off fight back. They will risk their lives to possibly get their family over. It's not just catching them and sending them back it can be dangerous at times. And it happens everyday 24/7 not just one family either it's alot. I don't know if we need more people watching or what but alot get through so it can be hard.
