They must have had a reserve candidate instead of using this low life.

I think that's true of many people HC, and don't beat yourself up over it, rather celebrate yourself for having made the change. I know I can't reconcile the things I know my father did with the man I know. It's perfectly possible to make a change for the better, and some who do are the worthiest human beings you can meet, because of it, not despite it.

Me too. Very ashamed of my youth.
I suffer these days with guilt.

Theland.
If there were no dealers then your son would not have been convicted for possession. Dealers attract,quite rightly a larger punishment than users.

you do not see my point because you don't appear to want to.
You excuse and support potential murdererers. You believe that is good business.
There used to be an airport sign in the Phillipines welcoming new arrivals. It said,"If the drugs don't kill you the Government will!"
At least the Far East have a protection plan for their children and choose carefully entrepeneurs who wish to be successful in commerce!!

So someone totally turns their life around and makes a success of themselves is a lowlife??
Hands up anyone who hasn't done stupid things when they were young.

Kval --^^^^^ I am well aware of the history of drugs,thankyou. I did post a tongue in cheek remark. However if it is of any interest to you there was a time when drugs were virtually unknown in the areas that I lived in. In act the first to appear was LSD in the 60s.Dropped onto sugar lumps. That led to a lot of deaths because people were hallucinating on it and chucking themselves off buildings and through windows etc. Then all at once drugs were rife . Since then we have gone from bad to worse and now ,mores the pity, it is a way of life for some poor *** .

"You excuse and support potential murdererers."

No i do not. I am talking on behalf of those who are selling what they say they're selling. you think i'm supporting what you want me to be supporting, but this thread isnt about that at all.

As i said, the driver drives to fast, you can't blame the car.

I think Naomi and TTT have a darn sight more patience than I for debating this with you. I am off to cook supper now. Corned Beef Hash with Hash Browns if you are interested.
I have yet to hear a drug pusher telling the beak that he was trying to open a business and make a success for himself. Lol

nailit: "So someone totally turns their life around and makes a success of themselves is a lowlife?? " - it takes a lot more to dig yourself out of the cess pit that blagging your way on to a TV show. To me drug dealers are the lowest of the low so it's going to be a long way back before I'll start to like this guy. Let's see how he gets on in the show eh, he may surprise me.

[hereIam]

Can you see my hands up in the air nailit ?

[andres]

Me too^^^^ I'm waving .

[webbo3]

I'm more concerned at the way he's posing with guns (a la gansta style).

[spathiphyllum]

People TTT would rather encounter than drug dealers..

-rapists
-murderers (basically drug dealers, ay?)
-pedophiles

“Drug dealers are the lowest of the low”

[spathiphyllum]

Webbo it also interested me that was not touched on.. like his cannabis distribution is more of a deterrent than weapons and gang culture..
