Biden's son kicked out of Navy for coke

[mikeakanice]

Just legalize all drugs, problem solved.

You don't want to legalize drugs like coke and heroin. That's just a lazy comment.

uhhhh yeah we do. . . .

Well, I can certainly say I'm glad you guys aren't in charge.

Because putting people in jail works!!!!!

The war on drugs is a pathetic failure. So tell us again why they shouldn't be legal. I missed that part in your comment.

Because you're unintelligent if you think it's just the war on drugs. (Which for the most part is a war on marijuana) You're going to actually have to be intelligent to have me have a conversation with you. Not start with that drivel. Marijuana is one thing. Hard drugs like heroin and cocaine are another. Talk to me when you aren't high.

And why not? Legalizing drugs solves tons of problems.

I see foresight and critical thinking is something lacking in this thread so I'm just going to leave it.

And not a single reason was given that day.

I think he's using the Mackey defense..."Drugs are bad, mmkay?"

Who gives a shit what his children do? His children aren't the ones who are second in command of the country.

Are you worried you're going to become addicted to heroin and cocaine if they legalize it? no? Neither is anyone else.

As for the OP, I see a drug offense compared to a violent offense as the lesser of two evils.

Man the USN really likes Pepsi.

I wonder how many years his son will get for felony possession?!

After a long delayed trial I am sure he will be one of the many pardons Obama gives out right as he steps out the door. Each president does it, one last get out of jail free card for friends and family.

Why not keep going and just legalize anything that is jamming up the courts/prisons and keeping cops busy.

[Cyberowl]

Uhm, is everyone doing drugs in the Navy getting kicked or is this one of those "His father is important, if we don't react and media discovers it we will be witch-hunted" situations?

I bet he is not the only one in the military doing drugs to "get through".

Users will keep using whether it's legal or illegal. Citizens save money, the state collects taxes, prices drop, cartels dissappear, violence goes down.

You do, you don't want them available to everyone but you certainly want it available enough to cripple the drug cartels.

Also, bunching up coke and heroin is extremely lazy. One is generally pretty bad for you and you really should not do it...at least you shouldn't do it a lot or often. The other is insanely bad for you and it is sometimes enough to just do it once to get hocked.

How about just focusing on crimes dealing with violence, lying, theft, robbery, and murder?

[Hammerfest]

Who cares.

Assuming that's a question, the simple answer is "lots of us."

But not the problem of drug use.

Cool story. But I'm going to need some facts and figures since your so far above us. Help us idiots understand.

[Hammerfest]

If this was a story about a perceived conservative's family, there wouldn't be as many "who cares" kind of responses.

Yea, and he was 43 so you can't exactly say it's indicative of bad parenting. He made as solid apology as a guy can make (issued through his lawyer, but nonetheless). The story said "administrative discharge." Anyone know if that's separate from honorable and dishonorable?
