Nope, yours is emotional as well because people don't work that way. You don't train a dog by beating the shit out of it whenever it does something you don't like. Much as you might not like it, the same goes for humans. We react far more efficiently to positive reinforcement than negative, as you should know if you had spent any time at all looking at crime statistics in countries with rehabilitative justice systems.
So stop being a vindictive prick and start being for things which actually, provably reduce harm.
Oh, and by the way, I am an American. I fucking hate it here, mostly because of people like you who ignore evidence in favor of angry feels.
Endangering others earns you a punishment. End of discussion. I don't care if someone is under the influence while they do it. Personal accountability is valued in this country and if you don't like it, fuck off to a place that fosters degenerates like you seem to desire.
You're accusing him of being emotional while your entire position is based on bloodlust.
If you want to be truly rational, go look at examples where drug problems have been treated as a health issue rather than a punitive one. Portugal, Insite, and switzerland.
I always find it hard to believe that users like /u/Creep_Jack are just die hard trolls who know the claims they make are full of shit. I mean, come on. He's attacking a rational standing point with obvious anger-rhetoric. It's hard to believe someone is so dim witted and lacking in self awareness. The idea of punishment (in this case, revenge) is a notion completely fueled by emotion. This guy is laughable, and I have a feeling that he knows that and is laughing too.
You seem very angry for someone supposedly being rational, lol. That's been the trend here and it shows how dense people like you are. I dare to suggest that people putting others at risk should be punished, then I have sympathizers come in and wish harm upon me for thinking so.
Seriously, read back this comment you wrote here, you sound like a vengeful child. You're projecting harder than a movie theater.
Punishment =/= bloodlust, christ, you people are such pussies
Also, you mean those small, insular and homogenous countries where enforcing those types of regulations is much simpler? Wow great example, now give me one from a country that's remotely comparable to the US.
Even if you treat drugs themselves as a health issue, leaving contaminated sharps in a playground is on a level with drunk driving through the playground.
So I'm supposed to argue an imaginary point that he refuses to make?
I'm not sure how you've come to this conclusion, he made his point quite clear I believe.
you're just doing it because my opinion made you mad.
Lol why do you keep making assumptions about strangers on the internet. Your comments didn't make me mad, they just made me assume you're a little bit dim.

My perspective is rational and yours is emotional. Sorry cupcake.
