And you can talk about all the drugs seized all you want. But maybe you should be paying attention to all the drugs that aren't seized or manufactured/grown in the US.

???? It has to be illegal for parents to do meth. That's why they get their kids taken away. So even if you make meth legal, it's still going to be illegal for parents to use, obviously.
It really shouldn't be hard to understand that seizing illegal drugs prevents people from using them. Making drugs illegal prevents people from using them. Therefore, there are less problems. I showed you how many drugs were seized, just by the Border Patrol.
moreover, it has made things worse because the violence associated with the drug trade wouldn't exist were drugs legal.
No. They used outdated statistics on purpose to exaggerate, and then they used updated statistics when it did make it look like there were more murders to mislead people. This is the same crap the left constantly does.
Murders have decreased significantly since 2010. That's what you are so dishonestly trying to hide.
Life expectancy fell by 0.6 years for men between 2005 and 2010
and in fact the army was put onto the streets in 2006, which caused a big rise in deaths, peaking in 2011; more people were killed between 2010 and 2015, than between 2005 and 2010. you would know that if you had even the first clue about the topic."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.

parents can lose their children for being drunks, yet alcohol is not illegal.
how many people who wanted to use drugs in 2015 couldn't because there weren't any available? i'll go with zero. despite expensive and destructive seizures, enforcement and punishment, drugs are trivially easy to get hold of. you may have heard about the heroin epidemic sweeping through parts of the US currently. what has the expensive and damaging drug war done to prevent that? nothing.
the second line of the article:
how did that confuse you? again, the fact that you are too stupid to understand something says more about you than about the thing itself.
and in fact the army was put onto the streets in 2006, which caused a big rise in deaths, peaking in 2011; more people were killed between 2010 and 2015, than between 2005 and 2010. you would know that if you had even the first clue about the topic.
The fact is that murders in Mexico have been falling in the last 3-4 years, especially along the border.

Her point was that her and her family have been in the US for so long that she shouldn't need the 'African' part any more. It's not like whites are called 'European Whites' after all?
If people are being treated differently because of race, by definition that's racism in my book. Kid is a racist, so his attitude makes sense here.

I don't care what you go with. You don't know what you're talking about. It's obvious that taking drugs away from dealers is preventing people from using drugs. In fact, I used to do drugs. I know this.
it very plainly doesn't, as everyone in this thread has told you and as the examples i've mentioned have shown. i'm afraid just BAMing nonsense isn't good enough.
Alcohol is totally different from meth, crack etc... You don't even know what you're talking about. You don't even know what is happening with drugs.
Well, there you go again. You have been accused of misleading with statistics. I even accused all liberals of that, and you just go and try to mislead again.
The fact is that murders in Mexico have been falling in the last 3-4 years, especially along the border.

Second, even if people like berz agree with you it doesn't mean it's true. You're obviously talking about stuff you don't know about.
yes, alcohol kills more people every year. and again i see you fail to even try to address the point. you need to up your game.
i said it peaked in 2011; that means it started to fall after that, you halfwit. in other words, your 'point' is repeating exactly what i saidI drank beer. I like beer. I still like beer. ... Do you like beer Senator?

i suppose it's progress when the only drug war defender here is kid. unfortunately, there still seem to be lots of idiots out there who provide the political cover for these stupid and destructive policies."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.
