In Malaysia, all drugs, including cannabis and heroin, are illegal, with possession of 15 grams of certain substances resulting in a mandatory death penalty. In contrast, the U.S. has a complex legal landscape where state laws can conflict with federal laws, particularly regarding marijuana, which is legal in some states for medical use. Discussions highlight the inefficacy of prohibition, suggesting that regulating and taxing substances like marijuana could be more beneficial. The conversation also touches on the moral implications of harsh penalties for drug trafficking, with some arguing that such measures do not effectively deter drug use. Overall, there is a growing belief that marijuana legalization and regulation are inevitable in many regions.

your mr. bush said something like "if you're not on my side, you're on the terrorist side", and it is up to him to define terrorist!
tell me, who is terrorist?
some one who does something to your expense?
if this is the definition, then US is terrorist too, because it produces the most pollutants that threaten human's life.

That's one of our president's overly frequent screw-ups when speaking. He's terrible at public speaking and frequently says things that come out all wrong. Don't let what he says determine your view about all Americans.

I don't know why you think the pollution in the US is so bad here. Unlike some places in the world, we don't have to walk around wearing face masks to avoid breathing pollutants.

Things that make the news in the US (such as on CNN) do so because they are sensationalistic and uncommon or unusual enough to get notice. This is why it makes headlines when a kid brings a gun to school and shoots other kids...this is incredibly rare, and incredibly horrible, so makes a good news story. There would be no interest in reading news about all the other schools that didn't have any shootings that day.

the USA contributes more to global pollution and global warming than any other country. don't deny it.

Because the US is such a large and developed country maybe? Go and look at the situation in major cities in India/China/and such: you'll find uncontrolled pollution. I agree it's a bad thing the US doesn't participate in the Kyoto protocol.

America is the best place to live in the world. These people that are putting it down are just mad that they can't live here.

It's probably from a UN study. The UN puts out a list of best countries in the world to like in every year. There's a number of factors that are looked at. Oh, and in case you didn't know Smurf, for much of the 90s Canada was ranked the best country to live in by the UN. Couldn't agree more. :smile:

But yeah, wow, I'm going to have to agree with Saint on this (Holy sh1t!)
Krazie, America is not the best place in the world to live. While it may be one of the best places in terms of opportunity to make money, there are at least a dozen other nations that offer a higher quality of life.

You can't be terrible at public speaking and become President. Public speaking is one of the biggest aspects of being a politician. You do it frequently, in front of a large crowd. Even before you get elected.

Yeah, well tell that to the other half of the Americans who voted for him.
