my big trafficking trip to Singapore is officially CANCELED.
You’ll have to get the horse from domestic sources, guys, it’s just no longer worth the risk.
On the real, I have somehow completely escaped knowledge of Singapore’s incredibly draconian drug policy. To think, something I could potentially be outraged about, and I’m not even aware of it! To put it succinctly but probably more or less factually a half-truth (this is a blog, after all), you may very well be executed for shipping in a certain class of drugs, above a certain amount. Murdered, killed by a foreign government, an enemy combatant in the global war against drugs, and there is nothing your home country will really be willing to do. Big trading partner, you understand.
I’m absolutely and wholly opposed to the death penalty, it’s a very black and white issue for me, there is NO circumstance under which capital punishment should be an option, let alone be mandatory. There is no jury, as far as I can understand the Singaporean law, it’s a solitary judge. You have one chance at an appeal, if that fails (as appeals oftentimes do), you’ll be hanged. Hanged, even! They just ain’t giving a fuck, no cop-out “humane” injection, no electric chair, nothing that could possibly be seen as an attempt at treating the convicted well enough. In some ways, I think that’s a positive. If people could actually see the brutality of hanging, eyes bugging out, neck breaking, wastes being expelled all over town square, they might think twice about the whole thing.
Not only that, there is also this: If you are in the company of people who are suspicious, or you have just exited a building which may well be a den of inequity, piss. You’d have to submit to a urine test, if some beat cop in Singapore thinks you’re up to no good. Have to.
I can’t even very well explain how bothered I am by this. Drugs, drugs is all. They’ll exist no matter how many 20 something Australians you imprison, no matter how many fingers you shake, no matter how many necks you break, people will get drugs whenever they need them. OH MAN CHEQQQ OUT THE RHYME
You can’t stop it. I realize Singapore had a particular problem with drug trafficking, heroin in particular, so their laws are a far bit more stringent than say, America’s, because we’ve never really been as much a hub as Singapore. I understand that, and I’d understand if the prosecution of drug offenders there was more harsh. Death penalty though, that is just the absolute silliest thing I’ve ever heard. Never in a thousand years of hearing ridiculous American Conservatives’ plans to win the war on drugs, have I heard capital punishment for traffickers even come up.
I don’t know a whole lot about the laws overseas, it’s not exactly something I figure I’ll ever have to worry about, but this one, from what I understand, is a real dooz. And coming from a country known for it’s sex tours and human trafficking, it’s quite a lark. I can’t find much on the prosecution of offenders in that regard, only the ‘Employment of Foreign Workers’ act, which is hard to analyze, but doesn’t seem to include the phrase “WE HANG SEX TOURISTS HAVIN SEX WITH 12 YEAR OLDS TOO OK”, so clearly the priorities are right on! Correct me if I’m wrong, I’m really having trouble finding any information of sex trafficking legislation, in any country. I’m probably using the wrong keywords.
Also, this:
11. “The foreign worker shall not indulge or be involved in any illegal, immoral or undesirable activities, including breaking up families in Singapore. “
Dead serious, Singapore? Or else what, honestly? Home-wreckers go to the gallows as well? Assorted skanks all lined up against a wall, work permits getting revoked, caned against their pert buttocks. Hothothot. I’d really like to know if anyone has been charged with ‘breaking up a family’, or anything nearing that language, in Singapore. The crime of seduction, I suppose.
This is why supercomputers need to dictate law and policy, world-wide. I’m all for the NWO, as long as they’re robots. Robots with sweet cans, cans so sweet they break up families.
