New Rule Suggestion


Recommended Posts

and we cannot allow one thread and some drug - abusing Neowinians to ruin us

One thread won't ruin us. Our moderators will step in when things get out of hand.

I live in holland and therefore I'm not really bothered by soft drugs personally (alcohol is much worse imho). I do agree we should keep this within limits since it's illegal afterall.

I hope so. But pictures and glorifying of drug abuse is already starting to happen there. They are trying to get people to smoke weed to get an artifical "high", and it's been proven that weed harms both body and mind.

In many other countries, weed is considered illegal.

What about the countries where it is legal and people are perfectly happy with it?

And allow their own life to become completely ruined in the process?

I cannot allow that to happen.

A.K.R you are not their parents. You are not them. What they do, is their choice.

I personally feel you are just going on like an old woman here, bitching about everything. Nobodys going to look on Neowin and say "wow neowin users r teh crackzors!!1!oneone" so quit the bitching man.

I have never done weed, and I never will, but if somebody sees this and decides they want to do it, that's their sole decision and we have no control over it.

Quit moaning, if people do it, they do it, leave them to it and just stay away from the threads just like anybody else against drugs might do.

Can you count how many countries legalise weed, out of the >200 countries on this planet?

Given your opinion, I thought I'd post a bit of irony... the Google Ads at the top of this thread...

Back to the topic: my proposed rule does not prohibit the discussion of illegal drugs completely - maybe you people are misunderstanding me. It is designed to prohibit the promotion and/or glorifying of illegal drugs. Illegal drugs are drugs that have been deemed as illegal in any one country.

Hell, the Internet and Windows have been deemed illegal in some countries... shall we just close Neowin now and move along to something else?

AKR, off the record, hit a bong and lighten up. I don't see anything wrong in that thread except for your over-reacted comment flaming everyone just because they smoke marijuana.

hahahah (Y)

i have moved the thread to members metropolis.

all i can tell you is... use the report button if you see an unacceptable post.

but you as a member have the control of where you visit, and if you see a post is related to illegal drugs and you have a negative stance on them... just save you and us the trouble and do not enter the post.

simple as that.

This is an international forum. Most countries consider weed illegal. My country, Singapore, is one of the several examples.

Singapore is not exactly an open society and they are seriously anti-drug.

http://www.cnb.gov.sg/index.asp

On July 16th 2004, Raman Selvam Renganathan was hanged in Singapore after being seized with 6lbs of pot.

Now 6lbs is lot of pot but... execution?

In Singapore they arrest you first on suspicion of drug use, then they check your system for drugs, then they charge you.

I don't think you can consider Singapore "normal".

Now... Some people use the argument "It isn't illegal in all countries, so we should be able to talk about it". I know of at least one country that doesn't recognize any piracy laws, so does that mean that we should be able to talk about pirating also?

Just a thought...
