If all governments had been as severe as the Phillipine Government maybe the world wouldn't be in the sorry state it is in because of drugs and drug related crime. The latest prostitution case in Sheffield is drug related. Most serious crimes are drug related. Most evil of crimes committed today are drug related. Sorry lads, I am all for stamping out the evil drug trade in whatever manner any country chooses to adopt. Mostly these people know what they are doing and do it anyhow, greed and no respect for your kids or mine as long as they make a quick pound or two. They get what they deserve. If you can't do the time don't do the crime. Maybe a harsh response but that's me on the subject. Thirkers
