    I only know what I read on the Internet and I've no first hand experience. The Internet says drugs are not prevalent in China.

    But I think you misinterpreted my post if you think I described China as a utopia. I thought i did the opposite. They are a one party dictatorship and a surveillance state which makes drug trafficking, and general rights, impossible.

    Ask your team about drugs in China. They'll know more than me.

    No, I meant the other lad who implied that they don't have a drug problem. I'm wondering how possible it is to get reliable crime states for China. It's not like their political system encourages openness and transparency.

    One lad went off on a rant about how wishing people a happy lunar new year amounted to genocide of Chinese people. I'll hold off, I think.

    Let's be honest, where there's people there's drugs. Look at rural Ireland. I remember there being a thread here somewhere about the prevalence of cocaine ruining rural Ireland. I found it:

    When I read about something failing because it was never tried hard enough, I'm reminded of the hardcore free market libertarians who used to frequent this site. Also communists.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    FF and FG going into bed together was the biggest political mistake in the history of the free state.

    Why?

    Since their differences around the treaty were settled, I can't see the point in them being separate parties. They don't have different political philosophies. It didn't matter which h one you voted for, you got pretty much the same government. So why wouldn't they "get into bed together" when they needed to to make sure we got exactly the same government even when we voted differently?
