Third World Skeptical Kid

Call a spade a spade, crimes are committed by people, and those people are responsible for that crime whether it is buying, selling, or transporting drugs, or committing gun violence, or illegally entering a country or driving drunk.

Mmmn....yeah. I agree. That's the point of the meme. It's the right, moving responsibility for drugs to the people who are supplying them, not the users. A complete double standard when you consider their thoughts on guns.

The drug problem in the US is basic high school economics, supply and demand. There is a huge demand for drugs, and they have tried to cut back the demand, which hasn't worked, so now it is time to try and cut back on the supply. Which the proposed wall (which could be an entire rabbit hole of it's own) is part of the solution to two problems, the illegal narcotics that transit the border, and the illegal immigrants that transit the border.

The wall will do absolutely nothing to stop drugs entering the country. Most come across legal ports already.

Part of the solution, as long as there is demand, there will always be a supply. The inanimate physical object which prevents easy passage by foot will stem the flow of some. That inanimate object will free up human assets to focus more on legal ports of entry. What we have been doing for 60 years hasn't been working, so it is time to try something different.

Supply and demand basics tell us there will always be a supply as long as there is demand. Our primary problem right now begins in a doctors office. There is where the majority of people are first prescribed drugs that gets them hooked.

Just for you.
This has been a refreshing change from the recent norm. Thanks!

Again, "part" of the solution. All aspects have to be addressed. That is another gateway into the world of illegal narcotics use that needs to be addressed too. But when tending to an emergency (for my example now, not commenting on anything the media or government has labeled an emergency), the care practices are triaged. Stop the start the breathing, stop the bleeding, protect the wound, treat for shock, prevent/treat further infection.
The prescription medication area is a problem, but a little further down the list. The anti drug usage campaign pushed by the dept of education for more than 40 years or so has been trying to treat the infection, and it appears it has not been working. The prescription issue, from my point of view, would be in the "treat for shock" stage of triage. Something that has potential to create further damage if not addressed properly. It looks like the country is currently in the bleeding stage at the moment and needs to stop the hemorrhage.

Nice!!! Good one there!

And I got a 140 wait timer for showing appreciation two times in rapid succession.... I can not stand the comment timer.

SAME! Apparently two comments on one meme is WAY to much interaction with other users! My guess is that it's for cutting down the political arguments, but I find it to be highly ineffective, as shown by political arguments persisting.

Haha!!! Too true

That's why I started a chat room outside the comments.

Ooooo! Do tell about the chatroom...

It is a chatroom on PalRingo called (SURPRISE!!!!) ImgFlip. You can download the app called PalRingo for Android and i-Products and computer as well.
If you'd like to learn more about it in ImgFlip, we can discuss it in our Stream called BeyondTheComments ( imgflip.com/m/BeyondTheComments ).

pretty simple solution, legalize drugs and guns

I think legalizing marijuana nation wide, would help stop the inflow of drugs. A gov ad campaign educating the public to the effects drug use has on S. America, America and that you are basically helping to support corruption, killing and hurting our country by doing drugs from our south, wouldn't hurt.

I think should stay out of peoples lives and let us be free, so an ad campaign is not a good idea in my opinion
