i dont know where u get your info but i will say you can blame the Uk govt for everything but you will be out of order to say they dont try prevent kids and teenagers getting involved with drugs.

electronic media awareness alone is more than £20m annually.  that is not taking into consideration the free bbc channels plus radios.

drug awareness and education eats into every council, NHS and educational authorities budget so you cant say they dont do their best. go to any library and see the amount of print work on drugs and come back here tell me u are wrong.

even if they were not doing anything it is no excuse for people to continue to push drugs  no doubt thiis is a permisive society.  it is not the kids that have  problems but the adults who are supposed to make the rules and control but are tooo drugged or drunk ti set them.  the kidas are more victims of their situation tahn anything else.

what you  see is the result of the free sex, drug and rock and roll of the 60's - 80@s. you can see nigeria travelling that roue these past years.  no one is asking questions but when the casualties start mounting i wonder what will happen.   just watch the abati and co thread.
i have lived long enough in europe to remember the pushing of boundaries by the channel 4 of this word and the newspapers of the land. i remember one mary whitehouse - a British campaigner for what she perceived to be values of morality and decency   saying something like the society will pay a high price.  i remember too one maggie thatcher saying there was nothing like society.  society is picking up the pieces and bill in billios.

Iran. Taiwan. and some of these far eastern country carries harsh penalty on drug use - Death, hanging, firing squad, life imprisonment etc. Yet people are still actively using drugs in these place.

The point is, no nation can completely stop the use of drug on any age level within his/her population.

Drugs smuggling is a global business and the people behind it are finding "new and innovative ways" to get drugs to the people who need them. To point and blame society and social norms is a bit short-sighted. Drug use and control is a complex and very broad area.

What would you call "Stricter values"? Please point at what you think are lax society norms that actively encourage kids to do drugs.

ElRazur:
The funny thing is I feel the same way. Three threads or so now, you appear to be on a collusion course with me - Something I am not keen on.

The problem here is that without your definition of what is proper and what is meaningful, I honestly have a feeling that you would dismiss what ever one points at you. Hence, why I asked for clarification of what is good enough for you.

Here are a few pointers -

Drug is illegal and as such control substances. That only would deter most of the population.

Addicts have detoxifying programmes and society integration initiatives.

Several initiates directed at kids in areas where they may be prone to drug-abuse and users/dealers etc.

Here is a link to give you an idea of what it is been done
http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/drugs/drugs-misuse/

There is more info on there to read.

To claim that the government is not doing anything worthwhile to stop kids from going into drugs is just not true in my view.

ElRazur:
Hence why the observational statement was a question. Nice try you.

ElRazur:
Say what? You asked a question you got an answer. Can we stick to the points at hand instead of bringing in another "Biina style" of questioning "authority".

Where have I determine what is good for other nations specifically? Gosh.

ElRazur:
It represses, gags and encrouch on freedom. Fundamental human freedom. The Uk have proper courts and laws where things can be challenged. When it comes to controlling citizens, comparing china with Uk is not a fair comparison. No?

ElRazur:
More internal divide and power struggle?

This is not about porn, this is about China wanting to control everything its citizens are doing.

US objects to China's net filter

The US has called on China to scrap its plan to put net-filtering software on all its computers.

It said that China's proposals would violate its free trade obligations, weaken computer security and raise serious censorship concerns.

China has demanded that all computers come supplied with software called Green Dam from 1 July, which it says would filter out pornographic content.
The proposals have been criticised even within China.

The US's objections also came a day after it filed an unfair trade complaint to the World Trade Organization (WTO) over raw material exports.

The latest comment raises the concern about a broader trade war between the US and China over everything from computer security to chicken poultry imports.

'Unjustified'

"Mandating technically flawed Green Dam software and denying manufacturers and consumers freedom to select filtering software is an unnecessary and unjustified means to achieve that objective, and poses a serious barrier to trade," said US Trade Representative Ron Kirk.

The US is now complaining that putting such pressure on manufacturers to pre-install or supply the software would violate China's WTO free trade obligations.

"China is putting companies in an untenable position by requiring them, with virtually no public notice, to pre-install software that appears to have broad-based censorship implications and network security issues," said US Commerce Secretary Gary Locke.

The Green Dam Youth Escort software was created to stop people looking at "offensive" content such as pornographic or violent websites, China has said.

But China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology later said that use of the software was not compulsory and that it was possible to uninstall the program.

Tests carried out on Green Dam outside China also showed that it left PCs open to many different security risks, including being hijacked.

Petitions calling for Green Dam to be scrapped have circulated widely within China, which has the world's largest net-using population.

Meanwhile, it appeared that China had blocked users of Google in China from using the search engine.

Users in Beijing and Shanghai said they could not access Google's main site, its Chinese-language version nor its mail services.

"We have found that Google has spread a lot of pornographic content, which is a serious violation of Chinese laws and regulations," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said.

He urged the company to abide by local rules, but said he had no specific details on the outage.

The disruption comes a week after China accused Google of deliberately linking to "pornographic and vulgar" content and ordered it to stop.

Google said it was looking to why there was an outage.

Greetings in the name of Jah, Haile Sellassie First.
Rastafari is a strongly syncretic Abrahamic religion that draws extensively from the Bible. Adherents look particularly to the New Testament Book of Revelation, as this is where they find the prophecies about the divinity of Haile Selassie. Rastas claim that they, and the rest of the black race, are descendants of the ancient twelve tribes of Israel, cast into captivity outside Africa as a result of the slave trade.
