| Topic: Why so much guns & drugs on the streets ? | |

People turn to drugs and crime when they have nothing. If this country took care of its people we wouldn't have these social problems. What we need is affordable housing, jobs, food, water, clothing, healthcare & education for all. It's much easier to prevent crime than to deal with the aftermath. When people are safe and their needs are met they are unlikely to break the law. I wish we could end the war in Iraq and use that money to take care of our own people. I do agree that marijuana should be decriminalized. It's less harmful than alcohol & cigarettes. Good post!

drug usage is a personal choice, I'd rather support and help find a cure for Cancer, than help a person get off heroine, which to me is an addiction by choice. What we need is affordable housing, jobs, food, water, clothing, healthcare & education for all. what we need is for people to accept responsibility, live amongst their means and stop relying on others or handouts. Granted there are those who need the help but sad to say most dont use it as help, they use it as a means of living.
It's much easier to prevent crime than to deal with the aftermath. When people are safe and their needs are met they are unlikely to break the law. people are selfish and greedy by nature, whatever they can get (especially if marked down or free) will only make them want more and more, never ending cycle.
I wish we could end the war in Iraq and use that money to take care of our own people. agree with this statement but highly unlikely it will happen
I do agree that marijuana should be decriminalized. It's less harmful than alcohol & cigarettes.
who will be the one to make the distinction as to what drugs should be legalized and what shouldnt. people nowadays are complaining about cigarettes, you want to legalize marijuana, next cocaine, narcotics, etc... people are never satisfied

Funny, but I agree with both of you, I don't see conflict in these views. Fran, I totally believe in personal responsability but I think many people have lost hope & can't see better choices, not everyone is as strong & smart as you are. I truly believe education is the key. If we have money to help with so many projects in other countries, why do people not want to spend it HERE 1st, to get our own people healthy & educated & on the path to a hope filled future. I am not talking about handouts that make people dependant, I am talking about giving people the education, incentive & tools to change thier own lives. I fear we learned nothing from Katrina. |

I agree LRH - we should start at home.
Education is free, children must be registered and attend schools or it's a crime. There are so many opportunities for continuing education and at a free level. Why are they not being utilized? Because people dont want what they can get, they always think they can do better but wait for better to come to them. Life experience sometimes surpasses an educational experience, why not use what you have at your disposal for your advantage? Incentives - learn, complete job training/internships, benefits, pay and the feeling of self reliance and a job well done should be enough to get anyone started. People are often their own worst enemies, putting up walls and obstacles in their own ways. Once we can see clearly, we can reach for all within and beyond our grasps. |

I personally think, if everyone was able to carry a sidearm and it was legal, crime would go down. Because your average joe would carry and the criminal would know and be less likely to cause damage or rob....jmo I think every American should own a gun...

Question for the OP...
If you were able to vote in the US would you vote for Obama, if so, why? If you'd vote for McCain again my question would be why? |

People want what they can't or shouldn't have. They think it's glamorous. It's easy. People are stupid...
The reasons are endless. |

power, agony, greed and desperation

money, adventure, followers, so many more reasons
but I stand by supply and demand, if the want/demand wasnt there the supply would diminish ever so slightly. |

It seems it is the parents of the kids of the future who don't care. They have these kids and throw them to the streets to raise. Today's youth commit so many violent crimes and they are just barely 13 years old. It is sad. I really don't think it is the drugs as much as the people that are breeding and having them.
