    Cameron is a very ignorant man who has never worked in a real job in his life. He has gone to boarding school, and surrounded himself with the exact same men around him. They are so far out of touch with the common man that they will not know what hits them when they lose the election.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Exactly. But to lose to Labour is not enough. Both of those parties are criminal.

    The UK are a lot I should give up on. It makes me very sad. I love my country more than any could and it breaks my heart. I can't handle these long term feelings. I need a long break.

    Tell you what Miles. Instead of drinking some pints on the weekend, why don't you start shooting heroin and tell us how much more socially acceptable you feel in a few months. How easy it is to avoid the stuff during weekdays, how much more your wife appreciates you, and so on. No offence man, but I suspect if you had ever tried the stuff, or were close to a single person addicted to it, you wouldn't dream of spouting that fucking nonsense. Burroughs is a man who shot his wife in the head while trying to merely shoot something right on top of her head. Perhaps his judgement isn't a terrific benchmark to go by.

    Saying alcohol and nicotine kill more people than heroin is like saying cows kill more people than sharks. It's completely true, yet so hopelessly besides the point.

    I disagree. I think a life of free heroin rather than a life of free alcohol would do wonders in my case. An addict of junk can live a very well and long life, the life of a drunkard is almost always a limited one. The addict gets his bad rep from a life of crime to feed the habit. Take away that and you have a man that is far more hidden, private and safe than your standard junkie. It's the boozers who break teeth and get into fights. At heart I am designed for junk with my avoid the world Syd Barret lifestyle.

    It's still observable science to state that alcohol or tobacco are on the whole more damaging drugs than heroin and pretty much most drugs. Millions in the UK are walking around with destroyed livers or are coughing up shit having clogged up their lungs with smoke. The habit will likely get them in the end. A regulated and controlled morphine/heroin would no doubt cause societal problems, but the systems currently in place are likely more problematic. Walk around a British downtown street at 2am in the morning and tell me that looks healthy. A person wacked on heroin is unlikely to smash your face in, but a person looking for cut heroin at black market prices is more likely to steal from your home as the market makes it expensive and cut down in quality. In terms of personal health, and if regulated well, I think heroin is likely to be a safer form of addiction than many others, either legal or illegal. I believe nothing should be illegal, but know that will result in some tragedy. However, people should have the choice. I would much rather smoke opium than get drunk and society would likely be more peaceful.

    It's just common sense and none of the policies concerning drugs have anything to do with common sense. It is merely the arbitrary exercise of state coercion and control.

    There are all kinds of studies and some get covered in precise form in the mainstream media. Plenty of stuff comes up on a quick search. I don't doubt for a moment that rampant heroin addiction is extremely harmful and kicking it looks like a scene from Dante's Inferno. However, the extent to which it is demonised and the extent of alcohol abuse in so many countries is a complete contradiction. People are burning through their livers, getting arrested, falling in front of moving vehicles; all kinds of things every day of the week in some country or other. Alcohol is an incredibly destructive drug. Now, if heroin were to be regulated and controlled, the negative consequences would likely fall in these kinds of drugs studies as people wouldn't be injecting talcum powder or be at the whim of an illegal market. Imagine a pint filled with poison and I am sure the already terrible effects of alcohol would skyrocket and they are already significant. I am libertarian on this issue and think nothing should be prohibited. I don't like how governments allow their people to poison themselves, when there are other ways to do so that are probably far less destructive, and all based on little more than ad hoc fear mongering policy. I stand by my claims and plenty of evidence exists to support such a claim, both anecdotal or scientific.
