Well we’re not doing much better over here. Thr world has gone mad.

They literally murdered their own citizens in broad daylight and it was filmed.

But yes, in theory they can say what they want. See how it’s often used to belittle minorities and gay people.

Brilliant system. Couldn’t fault it.

I’m sorry is this an Internet message board or a thesis? Do you’re own research I’m not your fucking mother.

For a “professor” that was pretty weak response xD

Prohibition is not the same as banning them for people born later than 2008 in any sense of the word.

We’re talking about banning for people who will never be able to buy cigarettes, not people who were able to and were later denied this.

With prohibition you’re conveniently missing the fact enforcement was poor and loopholes existed. Plus you were denying people alcohol who already drank.

Along with this was the fact that public support was not in favour.

I think you’ll find a lot of people support a blanket ban on smoking.

Also stop using the argument of appealing to authority.

Finally, I’m talking a pub full of people and you’re talking about one guy on blow. Yeah, seems like less people are using drugs than taking drugs. Obvious , right?

I’m not a prude. I’d support legalisation of certain drugs and decriminilisation of others. It depends purely (for me) on how damaging they are but they wouldn’t be for me to decide. I firmly believe though that drug users don’t belong in prison at all.

Edit: To make me belive this prohibition shit you’d have to convince me that prohibition fails when public support is high. Perhaps like a majority Islamic country where I would assume people support the banning of alcohol.

It seems to me like it works there fine.

Whatever we are doing to not turn into a shithole like America seems to be working.

Yes, parties without drugs do not exist. Youre right.

Oh, you’re an American. I don’t know why anyone bothers.

We vote for them by voting for the parties propose legislative changes.

See the Human Rights Act.

Edit: And just for the record I 100% support Palestine. I don’t support Palestine Action.

Yes. Literally Orwellian.

Guy who wants to not ban groups that assault people doesn’t want people to have the right to decide and vote on human rights. The irony.

OK, so why exactly did prohibition fail? You ignored my question completely.

Are you really implying that people banning a substance doesn’t reduce the amount of people using it?

I can literally go to a pub and see a whole pub full of people drinking and smoking.

Where can I go to see a whole building of people smoking weed or taking drugs?

The aim isn’t to stop everyone, no sensible person would suggest that.

Are you even British? Not sure why you’d even care if you’re not.

Would you say the same if one member of a group was a Nazi? No, you’d rightly assume they’re all nazis.

This shit is unacceptable and needs to be banned the same as the EU.

Go on then, give me some reasons? Or you just someone who reads too much “news”?

Did you ever bother to look into why Palestine Action was singled out? How one of their members assaulted someone with a hammer or something?

You can support Palestine without supporting that group, lol.

Just don’t go.

Perfection is not the aim. Fewer people will be smoking tobacco over time. Smoking also has an easy alternative like vaping available.

It is also much easier to make alcohol at home than cigarettes.

Prohibition failed for multiple reasons. I’d suggest you look into it.

Of course you can. Over time fewer and fewer people will smoke.

The number of smokers have been going down for a long time now.

Really? Okay, so curl. You use it everyday. How’s that using ‘unix’ principles?

You’re just parroting the same old tired arguments.
