Cocaine, Fentynal, and Heroin fund cartels and Middle East terrorists. What's wrong with us? We don't need a wall. Is it not possible to stop using?

A war on drug dealers is needed, like the war on terror. Drone strikes, special forces strikes, banking measures, pressure in host countries, invasions if needed.

[normalice]

Addiction is escapism. Until we build a world people don't feel like they need to escape from we don't really have the grounds to demand they prefer to stay.

[NamerOfStars]

As demonstrated by Prohibition, no. Not as a society, at least. The real question is "Why can't we legalize these things?". The answer is "there's too much money being made".

[Sharkstealth]

It's not helping Oregon much. Did you know all drugs are legal in Oregon?

[NamerOfStars]

I know that they aren't, because they can't be; States aren't allowed to supercede Federal law. Want to know what happens when they try? There weren't any typos in that first sentence. Failing to enforce a law doesn't change the fact that it's a law.

It's also not alleviating the problem because it's not challenging the problem: they're still not producing, and can't conjure drugs from the aether.

[Sharkstealth]

Maybe do some research because it was voted into effect in 2021 I believe. I didn't believe it either until I looked it up.

Fascinating how walls worked for China, East Germany and Israel, but America just has to face the fact it'll get invaded.

[normalice]

Walls worked to keep people hating each other if that's the "work" you want done, I suppose..

[Sargentcaptain]

Yeah, look at all the harmony and cultural enrichment of the pre China wall era. After all, having an invader that wants to murder you and rape your family just brings that little bit of spice to life, don't you think.

[Sharkstealth]

I lived in Germany right after the wall came down. East Germans were not very fond of the wall.

[normalice]

Yeah, you know what best dissolves the fear mongering rhetoric of "others" who want to "rape your family"? Not having a wall so you can just ask them what's up with that. Then they can say, wait, our leaders said you wanted to rape our families now you tell me your leaders say we wanted to rape yours? You don't think our leaders are trying to control us with fear, do you...

Take your meds, and if you really want to learn more about MS13, go join them.

I guess that's the sort of thing brain damage results in people saying these days, sure. Useless rage junkie 😅

[NathanDavis]

drug addictions won't go away... no

it's a prolific business too

[Juxtapose]

Walls do work! It works for China, East Germany and Israel as another user so kindly pointed out.

[Zestyassmf1997]

Middle East terrorism is financed by the US.

[YesterdaysChild]

@Zestyassmf1997 Another anti-Jew I take it?

[Zestyassmf1997]

Epic leap of logic.

[YesterdaysChild]

@Zestyassmf1997 Well the talk on here seems to say that Israel are the terrorists, not the Palestine dwellers like Hamas. So it's not that epic for G@G.

[Zestyassmf1997]

I didn’t even mention Israel or Palestine.

[YesterdaysChild]

You inferred since the US backs/supports Israel.

[Zestyassmf1997]

The US also supports Taiwan and the Virgin Islands.

[YesterdaysChild]

And there are no wars going on there either.

[Zestyassmf1997]

Not yet.

[Zestyassmf1997]

I mean, hell, the Taiwanese are basically just separatists who lost the Chinese Civil War.

[Sharkstealth]

Information I'm getting is that it's funded by drug addicts from the USA.
