would you punish your family and friends for lifestyle differences if you could?



Of course. For instance, if one of my friends was spiralling out of control I would not lend him money to continue his spiral. You probably would. They call that person an "enabler." You supply that person with an out that allows them to avoid accepting responsibility for their own behaviour. You are not helping.

I wouldnt. The US would. Just because the US has a stake in the world doesnt mean we have the right to impose our will man.




Impose????? We are not capable of that. We sure can use our influence. And should and will. Tough shit for all self-hating Americans. They are an insignificant minority who can basicly go suck their thumbs in a corner. We don't care.

Especially on an un-agressive nation. You guys need to face teh facts, The US is a bully. This is a fact proven time and time again.




Actually, the US is quite restrained in the face of provocation

The commandment is,

"Love thy Neighbor"

Not "Control thy Neighbor."




There is no such commandment and I am not a christian so I don't give a shit. "Good fences make good neighbors." (This is often misconstrued to imply separation when the original intent was to emphasive the cooperative nature of fence building.)

it is the people of the USA, by an overwhelming majority, who approve of drug prohibition

Source?

The government would be remiss if it didn't represent the views of the people in dealing with an immediate neighbor's seeming change of policy.

The people of the US have complained about Mexico decriminalising drugs for personal use? Where have they done this?

Would they say nothing if Ireland decided to legalize drug use?

I'd move there.

Our legally elected representatives view this as important in helping to enforce the will of the people on drug prohibition, which is their job. We are not a nation run by referendum.

Answering the question in your usual fashion. Which is not at all.

That's a poll of a thousand people. From 2002. Your claim was "it is the people of the USA, by an overwhelming majority, who approve of drug prohibition"

Try again.

What are you talking about? Enforcing the will of the people of the US on the people of Mexico?

As humourless as ever I see.

Many people in the UK would be happy to see drugs decriminalised. Even the Strathclyde POLICE force recently said all drugs should be legalised including heroin and cocaine.

The US's statements do not meet the definition of "bullying". That's all I said. And the fact is, the statements as reported DO NOT meet the definition of bullying.

Words have meaning -- that's why there are so many of them.




Phred




yeah public words, 99% of the words are behind the scenes. MExico knows very well that if it doesn't act in the US's favor they will get some sort of consequences. There doesn't have to be threats out in the open to not know that.

Their 'good relations' might deteriorate if MExico doesnt 'work with' the United States to 'fight terrorism'.

Yeah because drug terrorism is all over Amsterdam.

Can't u smell the bullshit?
