We have a party in Sweden, the Centre Party. Out of the 8 political parties we have in Swedish congress right now, this is one of the four parties who have been the majority party at some point during the last 100 years. Before they were an agrarian party, but since most people live in cities now, they started to lose votes, and now they want it another way. At first, they were focusing on becoming a party for small companies and becoming an enviromental party for rightists (the main enviromental party in Sweden is also hardcore-socialist). This didn't work out too well, other parties covered these things better.

Okay, so so far there's nothing interesting here. If you're mittens, you probably stopped writing and rated ten different posts dumb at this point. So anyway, as of lately, as they've lost even more voters, there became this kind of chaos in the party where nobody was really sure what the heck they were going to do. Enter the young people of the party - the ones that are like 18-34 years old. These guys apparently consists of hippies - so the Centre Party is now the hippie party. And they've got people in congress.

Their new focus is on stuff like legalizing all drugs, completely free immigration, allowing polygamy and abolishment of compulsory schooling. Also, their congressmen just now apparently thinks it's a good idea to use tax payer money to fund animal telepathy.

So next time you complain about Republicans - they're fucking wacko, but at least they don't cater to hippies, you gotta give them that.
 
this is a tf2 community filled with 14 year olds, why do you want to discuss this here?

I bolded things I agree with and italicized things that are ridiculous.
 
Legalizing all drugs? You nuts, pal?
If you legalize all drugs, then those drugs are no longer made by idiotic citizens, they are made by chemists and lab technicians, they are pure. Sure, the drugs themselves are still dangerous, but you just dont throw in a homemade recipe with em, do ya? And if these drugs are legal there will most likely be regulations for where to use them, such as the Heroin clinics, you'd have just regular drug clinics then.

Dude, I'm okay with legalizing some drugs, but we're talking about all kinds of substances that can kill you, doesn't matter if they "are made pure by chemists and lab technicians".

Most things can kill you.
Fruit can literally be the cause of cancer.

Everything in moderation, even legalization.

So you're okay with letting addicts die from laced narcotics? I'm not saying that everyone will just go out and start doing lines of blow, no thats not how it works, if you look at the netherlands, their crime rate has gone down after legalizing drugs.

Wut

I thought I read a article saying fruit decreased the risk of cancer.

Then again, considering everything causes cancer now days, decreasing the risk of cancer probably in turn increases the risk of cancer.

Yay science

Well yeah, but I think we both agree that the extent to which drugs kills is far wider than what a banana can. If you don't choke on it, but that's an entirely different thing.

Then again, the Netherlands have a helluva lot of regulations, and they don't allow every drug.
 
Tomat, in America, the main focus is on putting habitual drug users behind bars. In most other countries, their focus is on rehabilitation.

No, it was a very silly comparison I made to highlight "moderation".

I am for a moderated and controlled legalization in the same mindset as Swedish alcohol.

A government monopoly on legal drugs where users are given clean equipment under controlled enviroments; that would erase the need for people to buy the drugs from shady places and also not be in the risk of getting into shit when they buy/use it.

Those that want it to be a legalization of all drugs are either nuts, planning on making a buck on it or just want to play the "cool kid in school that takes drugs".

I tell ya, a Systembolaget for drugs would be the biggest success for Swedish integration politics since the Nordic Passport Union.
