Singapore hangs third person for drug offences in little over a week

Singapore has been ranked as the happiest countries in Asia and in the top 25 happiest in the entire world.

I find it rather hypocritical of people who have never been there, denounce the country but the residence who live there apparently are very happy.

Also, I’d be willing to bet that many of the people speaking ill of Singapore are also the type who would say you shouldn’t judge other cultures. Well that’s exactly what you are doing now.

I’ve never been there and I have little interest in going, but the people there have chosen those draconian laws and with them, they have incredibly low crime and drug use. So you might not agree with their laws, but you can’t disagree with the results, and the people there feel it is a tradeoff they are willing to live with.

So who the fuck are you to tell those people how they should rule their own country?

A human. Humans understand murder is wrong. This isn’t debatable.

If you think murder is ok in any situation, then you best be ok with being murdered when enough people are convinced if that situation, whether or not it’s true.

5.5 million humans said they were OK with it which is why they have the laws that they have. You’re just one schmuck behind a keyboard trying to tell 5.5 million people how to live their lives. How dare you.
No dude. Just no. Murder is wrong. That’s a hard stop. A bunch of people being ok with it or too scared to stand up doesn’t mean it’s not wrong. That’s an insane take. A whole bunch of people think racism is ok but that doesn’t magically make it so. You should really work on being less of a follower. Especially if it makes you genuinely defend murder.

You do realize that most of the people who support punishing drug users are corrupt themselves? They have this idea that if they don’t like something, then neither should anyone else.

Anyone with a modicum of life experience realizes this.

How dare I? Simple. I’m not morally bankrupt. And a lot of people being morally bankrupt together doesn’t make them right.

If everyone on the planet agreed that you should be killed because you picked that username, would you be wrong to disagree?

how to live their lives.

the irony…

You think every single person in Singapore agrees with these laws? Are they a hive mind? Seems like you’re the one telling them how to live their lives since you’re saying they all are of one mind. Unless, of course, you have a poll that shows unanimous agreement. Do you have such a poll?
