Message | Alcohol is also damaging to one's health, and yet your party indicated disagreement with tightening alcohol regulations. A lack of exercise is also damaging, perhaps we should mandate 30 minutes of exercise per day. We could follow that by banning consumption of meat, for that is a source of many diseases. What happened to personal autonomy? |

Message | I do not know. What happened to a parent's right to choose to educate their kids at home? |
Date | 19:05:36, November 14, 2007 CET | From | One Nation Socialist Party | To | Debating the Illegal Drug Act |
Message | people will do drugs if they want to do drugs. history has taught us that and that no matter how hard governments try and "crack down" . this like prohibition will fail and lead to the growth in organised crime. that is to an extent what this bill is, the proposal to allocate organised crime with funding or it might as well be. there are so many reasons why recreational drug use should be legalised if you want some more i can give them. |
