On the news tonight it was reported a Sydney teenager died because
of drug overdose.

He went to a dance festival on weekend and played a game in which they
competed to take the most drugs. The reporter also said another girl died
in November last year also due to drug overdose.

About 3000 teenagers died from drug overdose in Australia each year.

Then it came to the news about the relatives of Andrew Chan and Myuran who have been sentenced to death penalty because of
drug trafficking in Indonesia. They were crying and saying how much they wish
the lives of Andrew Chan and Myuran could be spared. Even the Australian Prime minister supported their
cause of asking for clemency. In other words, the PM also wanted Indonesia to cancel their death
penalty. The PM said he is against death penalty.

I doubt a Muslim country will get rid of the death penalty just because
Australia wants them to.

And your point is.......


It's funny. Drugs kill and harm more people each year than cigarettes and guns.
The politicians hurried to control guns and cigarettes, yet they paid little attention to drugs.
I'm pretty sure politicians are the ones who pass into law the illegality of many dangerous drugs. How is that "paying little attention?"

PS by no means am I going "duuude, I wish (drug name) was legal"....I just think that even if your claims are true, the analogy doesn't stand up.
